CURRENT MISSION

To go from New York to Southern Argentina (and everywhere in between) without a car

ABOUT ME

Me and my boyfriend Sean are on a 20 month mission to see the US, Central and South America. We are interested in meeting others who share an adventurous spirit and can give us good tips about the towns they live in.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have a terrible memory so these are from the past week - cycling through the Vermont countryside, catching a skunk stealing the food I'd saved for breakfast from my tent, making cider with an Amish apple press. All of which are a first.

Teach, Learn, Share

We want to learn about other people's way of life, cultures and cuisines.

Oh and Laura can teach you how to hoot like an owl!
