Changes

In October 2009, Falterman abandoned his apartment in Houston, TX, dropped out of community college, and spent the last of his money on a backpack and supplies. Patrick decided to headed to Arizona with $300 hidden in his right boot, and after spending several months camping in Flagstaff, Arizona, working a few odd-jobs in California, he decided to travel to Tijuana, Mexico, in order to leave behind what he felt was a life of "being a machine for society." Since then, Falterman has not returned to the United States, and has spent several years hitchhiking around dozens of Latin American nations with little to no finances.
