About this blog

Hey Everyone

Here is the blow by blow account of our South American OE. Experience vicarious excitement as we wrestle anacondas, dysentery, and inscrutable public transport systems. Watch as the frequency of our entries taper off, despite our best intentions. Be the first to hear about blisters, pickpockets, bedbugs, and other exciting vignettes from the long road ahead.

See ya

Nick & Amiria
