One week from today I'm fulfilling two big dreams of mine: to explore South America & to travel by myself. I'm going to Rio de Janeiro and have an entire week completely alone to explore the city and do whatever I want. If you think about it, very few times in life can you literally do whatever you want.  Even a decision as small as where to go for dinner is subject to someone else's opinion.  I'm really excited to wake up and feel total freedom!
