I have the same concept of freedom as you @route-m-d, but here I have a feeling that my decision to do whatever I want may be suddenly interrupted by an outside force, like a robber for example.

Of course Brazil is not completely bad and possibly nothing will happen if I hit the road here, but this sensation of 'something may happen' is enough to shake my freedom. Something I didn't feel at all in the middle of Patagonia por example.
