This is a photo of my wife Amanda and I, along with our 1978 Volkswagen campervan on top of the Andes in Ecuador. We drove from San Diego, through Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama then shipped our van to Ecuador.
In all we spent a year in South America before we shipped the van to Africa. The entire journey lasted three years, 60,000 miles and 24 countries. While we had incredible adventures we were never robbed, never physically harmed nor threatened. It’s not as scary out there as tv makes you believe. Go for it!
After returning home we wrote a book about our journey and are now getting ready to head out on a new adventure, cycling through Asia.
We have tons of details on our web site www.vwvagabonds.com and are happy to help anyone… even with the most basic details… email us.
