Well, this one’s a biggie. I have traveled a bit but this is going to be nothing like anything I’ve done so far. Never have I undertaken continuous backpacking travel for more than a week. And this one’s going to be 5 full weeks, not to mention the 2 jumbo trans-oceanic flights.
These are the things I figured I need to plan for. I did not come up with them all at once but additions to these lists were like lightening strikes while watching tv, browsing reddit on the morning commode routines, travelling in the metro, lifting weights and several more odd situations, not intuitively facilitative to having such thoughts. Oh, and I also added participation in the Santiago Marathon in Chile during my time, so my accountability towards my fitness aims can also breathe unbothered.
