  2. Woot! and to think, this is just the start. Have a great flight, and I’m looking forward to reading about your time in Costa Rica. It’s very inspiring to read about someone just starting their journey, and I totally agree with you on support. Before I started blogging, it just didn’t feel like my RTW trip was really going to happen.

    What a coincidence, I read this quote today somewhere (don’t remember where…) and I thought about myself and what I’m doing. I even thought about becoming an astronaut, but well… Let’s keep dreaming :p
    What can I say Jaime, believe me I feel your emotion through your words, I just want to send you my biggest virtual HUG and … good luck. Enjoy it, every single bit of it, because even the *bad* moments will be the best memories of your life… you will learn a lot, change a lot probably, and this is just great!!!
    Can’t wait to hear from you on your first “after departure” post… Am really waiting for it ๐Ÿ™‚
    p.s. how did you name your backpack then? ๐Ÿ™‚

    • I had no clue Walt Disney said that, but man it is 100% true!!! Its all about dreaming and making them happen!!!

      Thanks Giulia for being such an amazing supporter in my dream and for just being amazing. I hope to get my 1st post form the road up soon. I think it may be a while but am no really sure!!! As for the name of my backpack…lol I have not named her yet. I think i need to get the hang of her a bit 1st.

    AMEN!!!! I’m so happy you are on your way to Costa Rica right now. I hate that you left me but I’m glad I don’t have to hear about it every day 100x a day! lol I knew the whole time that you would break away but I didn’t think it would be this soon.

    Take care of yourself (I’ll be lighting a candle and praying for you too lol) Take lots of pics, don’t be afraid and take your adventure full force.

    Remember what I said last night about being indecisive, what would Jessica say to me right now and then do the opposite. lmao

    I love you un chingo
    xoxo

    • EEEEeeeee BRAIN I AM HERE!!! I so cant believe it but I am loving it already!!! This is going to be something else and I cant wait to experience it all. Oh & trut I will be thinking that in fact I already used it. I thought Jess would take a cab so I took a cab to the hostel!

  10. hey, just wanted to cheer you on and say good luck! will be following your travels. ๐Ÿ™‚

  11. Ahhhh it’s your turn to make me cry!!

    I remember my own rollercoaster of emotions. I was all over the place. And now that I am on the end of my visa, I’m starting to feel a new wave of emotions about the end and returning home – NO clue what is next.

    One of my favorite song lyrics is “it doesn’t happen to you, you happen to life.” Live it up Jaime!

  19. Jaime! You are every single word that is a synonym for AWESOME and that’s all I have to say about that! ๐Ÿ™‚
    And as for the lesson of your post –
    I couldn’t agree with you MORE!
    First of all, I know what you mean in terms of feeling almost selfish to go after your dream. And it’s crazy we can even got to that point! But it’s also sad to think we live in a world where we feel like it’s almost rude to be happier than everyone else. While everyoen else is stuck in their own little slice of limbo and watching us leave them behind, we can feel guilty, ya know?
    But then there are those that are BREAKING AWAY also! And we realize it’s not selfish, it is deserved! We deserv eto go after and have and live our dreams!
    And it is inspiring to me that you DID IT! You set out to do something and you made yourself accountable through this blog too and you saved your money and did all the planning. YOU DID IT!!!!

    I am so happy for you and can’t wait to follow you on your journey!
    NOS VEMOS JAIME!
    See you around the world sometimes when I move back abroad again too! I’m shasing after my dreams as well!!!!
    – LAUR ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Awww THANKS LAUREN!!! It is kinda sad that when we think of doing something that is going to make us happy at some point we do believe wow is this selfish. I mean in reality in order to make things happen for you in your life you have to be selfish and think about you and whats going to make you happy. Luckily I didn’t let that feeling hold me back and I actual went through on with my dream regardless of everything in the way. I know my family and friends know I love them and that I am doing this for me because I want to see the world. So I am sure they understand now.

      Thanks again Lauren and I really hope at some point we meet while travelling the world.

      EEEeeee I DID IT!!!

    I am letting my dreams and thoughts consume me, just like you. My divorce was finally final in January of this year and I’m so happy to have gotten rid of the negative thing (or person) that was holding me back. My dream today is to buy my first house and I am in the process of doing so! And everytime I read your blog, or your posts, or hear of you, I get this sensational feeling of inspiration. I feel more motivated to move forward and get things done for myself and my two precious little blessings. Jaime, you have a true gift. The motivation you carry and just your personality period, is so contagious. I’m so happy to know you! Thanks for just being you. ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Wow Rubi, thank you for the kind words. I am so glad I am able to inspire anyone to follow any dream they have. Thanks again for following along and let me know if you need anything. I would be more than happy to help if I can!

    Hello Jaime-

    You may or may not remember me but we worked at Amegy bank call center like 5 years ago. I was o e of the people who helped trained new reps. At any rate, I would like to congratulate and encourage you to keep pushing forward! We only live once and we are here on earth for a very short period of time. As you may see on your trips on different areas around the world, there is a lot people who are in need of help and we are bless or lucky if you will to have a family, home and friends to love us. I am sorry I may have gone out of subject but Ive been wanting to give up everything to be a christian missionary to go help around the world.

    Finally, I don’t really know you very much by the way you carry yourself, you seemed like a very intelligent person, and one of the things that comes to mind when I read your blog through ruby is a quote from Albert a That says “insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expect different results”.

    Good luck and your trips!

    -Mario

    • Yes Mario I remember you, damn man that was ages ago. Glad you are doing okay and thanks for reading my blog. As for your dream of leaving it behond and being a christian missionary I say go for it. I mean why not? It may be hard work to set everything up to make happen but at the end its going to be worth. If you can dream it you can do it so go for it.

  24. Have fun on your trip! You must be so psyched that it’s finally here ๐Ÿ™‚

  26. Hey Jaime! I’m a week late in saying this but just wanted to say congrats on the trip! I bet you’re having a blast and can’t wait to follow your travels. As a fellow Texan I really am excited you’re doing this. I don’t know if you got much of this where you’re from, but out in West Texas my open-ended travel plans for later this year are more often than not met with a “What?” and a “Why would you ever want to do that?”
    So have a blast! Looking forward to reading.
