My Year in Cities, 2013
Post from December 30, 2013 (↻ June 28, 2017), filed under Adventure.
The story of my 18 months of travel around the world, though not including this article, is available as a big but humble e-book: Journey of J.
Traditionally I post a list of all the new places I visited during a year in some sort of year-end review, too. The same this year as I’m fairly confident that I won’t leave Santiago anymore now that I just got here, and as the year’s window’s closing quickly. One thing is different, however: I’m including just the places I’ve visited since I discarded my old life. I haven’t traveled much during the first half of the year anyway.

The Bolivia leg is a bit messed up. It’s a stretch to consider some of the places “cities,” however they were distinct stops on a little adventure trip through the Bolivian countryside that I figured I might just include. I added links to snapshots of traffic life that I document over at Animated Traffic. That site’s still an experiment but I’m tweaking it quite a bit to make it a worthy testament and alternative look at my journey—and all the cities I pass through.
