Before he became the Marxist revolutionary icon known as "El Che," Ernesto Guevara de la Serna was an Argentine medical student tired of school and itching to see the world.
So on January 4, 1952, the 23-year-old Guevara and his friend Alberto Granada jumped on an old motorcycle and embarked on an eight-month journey across South America.
The trek is chronicled in the movie The Motorcycle Diaries.
Traveling splits many moments in two: melancholy for what is left behind and excitement of entering a new space.
Similar moments occur in relationships and currently I'm in a new space. But as I'm so excited about this new place, melancholy is not part of the equation.
