Welcome! This is my LIVING AROUND THE WORLD blog. I took off from Chicago on April 8, 2007 and I aspire to spend the next several years in a backpacker mode. These days I'm living in Latin America www.dorosevich.com has more details

Our route through Central and South America..

Stayed at the Hotel Viajero. Completely forgot that Hostel Inguana might be here. Tomorrow we'll either stay a night at Finca Tatin in the jungle or go on to Rio Dulce to a backpackers there and try to do a day trip to the Finca El Paraiso waterfalls from there.

Made it back to Oregon. I've updated some pictures with more to come.

I spent two great weeks in Guatemala this past summer with some friends of mine.
