My first post

As my first post, this brief article is designed to outline the aims of my South American advenuture. Travelling with solely a touristical purpose is great and very liberating at the right time but I'm searching for something more. I've a few serious aims for my journey that would add purpose to my travels. They go:

1. Learn conversational Portuguese and Spanish
2. Enhance and develop my dancing and capoeira skills. (Sounds very professional but this will specifically mean samba, tango and of course, Capoeira)
3. Learn about and connect with South American people, culture and history.

If I can return to the UK having touched on each of the aims then I will be a happy man. Anything too specific for now would be restrictive so I'll just see how things work out upon arrival then develop them from there. So after this short overview of my purpose, I'll speak about my intended itinerary in the next post.
