South America looks like an amazing place to skate. before I do anything though I would have to get something to eat. My first stop would be the Boteco Bar to get a Pork Sandwich, its like the most amazing thing to eat there. Along with a Carona we can officially start our trip skating Sao Paulo, get to know the locals film hangout. Get a game of soccer going even though I can't play that well I would still do it and have fun simply because its such an experience. Gotta hit up the sand and check out all the sexy ass women just doing them. A little more drinking, A lot more skating, filming food, fun and culture would make South America a definite second home I think. Although there is a ton of violence there just as there is anywhere I'm almost certain we'd never see nor have a problem. Billy looked like he had a Blast when he went out there with Demetrious George, I just got my Passport in the mail so I think I'm definitely taking that trip soon.

I want to hang out on that big Jesus Christ statue and just enjoy the environment. Maybe boat through the Amazon...check out Rio and visit some schools and art museums..Check out the youth movement. I graduated from art school, so I'd love to see what kind of art goes down out there and maybe visit some native artists studio and apprentice and take notes. The art of a culture is a reflection of the the people, so I think just seeing the creative community of South America would be mind blowing and exciting beyond the context of words.

Stop in Colombia. Beside skate everywhere. Drink champus and eat empanada in Cali, taste ajiaco in Bogotá, Eat the best chigüiro meat at llanos and some cuy in Nariño. dance vallenato and cumbia till sunrise with "marimondas" at Barranquilla's carnival, catch a "coron coro" fish in Chiriguaná, swimm with turtles at Tayrona natural park, know Aracataca (Macondo town in 100 years of loneliness By Garcia Marquez). Meet the most beauty women, eat Bandeja Paisa, and Arepas in Medellin, Sing the "baracunatana" drinkin' some guaros in bogotá, skate at tunal, drink aguapanela with cheese and sweet arepa in cold Boyacá; swimm side to side Amazonas River in Leticia, have a supernatural and surreal trip with yagé in Putumayo seeing monkeys, snakes and giant ants. Paint in black and white in Pasto's Carnival of Black and White looking the sun setting behind Galeras Volcano. Drink "hervidos" (Boiling fruit and liquor cocktails) sailing on La Cocha lake, taste natural glaciar ice snow cones at cold Cumbal; eat some lapingachos, cornbread, sweet corn at Ipiales and visit the Las Lajas Church (builded at middle point of a big canyon). then you can pass to all the rest countries in South America. Did i tell you can skate everywhere you want? Psd all names are real.
