This bloke is living it. Great read. His blog is pretty epic as well. I am enjoying this as I followed a similar route through South America in 2003/04 for 10.5 months. He is at one of my fav waves right now in Peru. I think Simondo has been there as well. Might be a bit long for you to read Scotty - but some great pics

Great adventure will follow his travels - reminds me of the motorcycle diaries

Ted, even the link is long.
