So, this is happening. What started as a random (and honestly quite tipsy) conversation, turned out to manifest itself way faster/sooner than I thought. So here we are, my partner (in crime, and life… AND work) Adele and I, getting ready to embark on this crazy adventure. We will be travelling for one year from the very bottom of Argentina all the way up until Canada, just with a van, our gear and some underwear.
We intend to document with video and photography the people, cultures, lifestyle and spectacular landscapes of South America, off the beaten track.. Our life is pretty much packed into one suitcase, strange how you can accumulate so much sh*t over the years but when it really comes down to it you really only need a suite case full of things.
We will lug our 45kgs each to Sydney airport on November 15th 2010 and will arrive in Santiago, Chile the same day. Here, we will spend 20days in a hostel to find a van.This little baby will sleep, feed and carry our butts on the grand tour across Argentina down to the very southernmost part of South America, Patagonia, she’ll then venture right up the west coast into Central America and on to the US.
Final destination looking to be Vancouver? As I understand it, 17 countries in all!
Excited much??!!
