About this blog

This is my journal as I travel through South America. Thank you for taking the time to check out my site!

*Please note that this website is written & dedicated to my nieces, nephews (Sarah, Joshua, Nathalie, Davis, David & Grace) & the students of Castro Valley's Stanton Elementary School in Castro Valley, California. The entries in this website are intended to be educational, light hearted and silly- for those that are young and of course those that are young at heart! For more detailed stories and additional photos please take a look at my other site: http://www.travelpod.com/members/allisonakemi

If you have any questions you would like me to answer please simply post your inquiry & I will respond in an entry as best as I can!
