365 Days

No, I will not be in Alaska for 365 days. The train ride is long, but not that long. 365 days in Alaska would mean 5,840 hours of work as opposed to the American yearly average of 2000 hours. 365 days would also mean $70,000 in my pocket. So maybe I should stay there for a full year. But that's not really an option.

This post was almost mistakenly titled "364 Days," but 2016 is a leap year. That means that 365 days ago today, I left Chile. I'm feeling a little bit of nostalgia masked by all of my nerves and excitement. It's a strange point of pride for me that it will have been less than a year between my little adventures, thanks to it being a leap year.

I'll be leaving my house in an hour. I'm crossing each bridge as I get to it, with the guidance of my parents and the internet. I'm not totally confident in my familiarity with the train route, but that bridge will be crossed when I reach it.

I will be posting updates when I have access to the internet. At this point, I'm planning on writing a series of posts covering a variety of topics, from salmon to King Salmon to shoestring-budget travelling.

All aboard the Salmon Express.
