Having crossed the continents of Africa, Europe and Asia, I am setting out on another journey, from the southern tip of South America to the northern coast of Brazil. But unlike past trips, I have a timetable, for I must reach his destination by March 1st, the start of Carnival. With roughly 6,000 miles to cover, I must cover on average 100 miles a day, or 4 mph at a steady pace.
Committed to completing the trip by land, I will keep you updated with the quirks of my continental drift, as well as a catalogue of statistics, such as the number of miles I have covered, beds I have slept in, days in jail, etc....I hope you enjoy the ride.
