Hunger For Life

Have you ever had a wild dream that you wanted to fulfill badly? However, resistance was your biggest enemy. You may have even talked yourself out of it. People thought you were crazy, but somehow inside of you it all made sense? This is what happened to Erica. Erica's life flipped upside down and was confronted with her existential crisis, huge familial struggles, issues to dream and lack of her own identity. She decided to explore the world and find herself in a quest of discoveries, full of unexpected adventures in South America. She planned to backpack the whole continent for nearly two years. She didn't pay attention to what people thought about her. She wanted to see what happiness and joy looked like. Those two words were foreign to her for too long. It was time to put a full stop to "life" as she had been told to live it and discover her own. How would she survive in this wild continent on her own with only a tent and a sleeping bag, with no money and no people she knew? The rate of rapes and sequestration at that time was quite high, however was it the real truth? Would she make it? Would she give up? Would she be in bad situations? Would she find her happiness or her worth? This is based on a true story.
