Reporting Live, From Rosario, Argentina

Me llamo es Felipe El Torro, but you can call me Phil

¡Hola!

Me llamo es Philip Graham Muir. Here in Rosario, as in Mexico when I built houses at age 15, my name is "Felipe El Torro!"

Ok, I don't go by Phil The Bowl in the middle of conversation over a steak and egg-spinach tortilla meal, but once in awhile I like to introduce myself as El Torro and get a reaction that is justified by a curiousity in how my personality, seemingly so opposite that of a raging bull, has any connection to one that would have gotten me that name.

Back to being named Philip by my parents, I was born and raised in Portland, Oregon for 22 years of my 23 years of being able to laugh, cry, and attempting to communicate with other human-beings. About 6 months ago I began my final year at Portland State University, where today I am close to walking with my Major in Sociology.

Don't get me wrong, of all the things about me that I would never change, being raised in Portland my whole life would be up on the top of the list next to the good people in it and my spirituality, but at 22 years of built up angst to get out of the country and see the world, I was like a pepsi can shaken during an entire class period.

"Wanderlust" is defined by Meriam-Websters Dictionary as; Wan-der-lust- n - "a strong longing for, or impulse toward wandering." that frankly defines what I have.

So here I am today, age 23, single, blonde (1 of about 5 in all South America) and ugh... yeah, im in "no one ever knows what I'm saying," South America!

I am so stoked to have the prime oppurtunity to share my experiences with you, to bring this place to life for you with vivid photographs, videos, journalism.

I hope I can share with you an enthuthiasm to travel and to discover other cultures that for me today is gained simply by breathing the fresh, spring air of Rosario, Argentina every time I take a step outside of my front door, and say good morning with the customary beso on the cheek.

This can be a reality for you to.

For now, Chau.

Hasta Lluego.

Te hablo pronto,

con amor y excitement,

Philip "El Torro" Muir
