Welcome!
My name is Dan. I spent almost two and a half years traveling through Central and South America, and now I'm back in the USA. I created this website to help plan and document the trip.
Here's how this site is organized:
Updates From the Road
After I leave, I will mainly update these sections:
Blog - I have started writing pre-trip stuff in it, but it should get more interesting as my departure date nears.
Stories - This page is empty for now, but I'll add stories about my travels to it during my journey.
Photo Gallery - It currently just has pictures from trips I have taken in the past, but I plan to update it with lots of pictures from my trip after I get going.
RSS - Find out how to get notified whenever this site gets updated.
Planning
What does it take to plan a trip around the world? Or, more correctly, what does someone who's never been around the world think it takes to plan such a trip? That info is covered in my preparation section, which includes:
Maps - Where I'm planning to go first.
Books - Reviews of the books I have read to prepare for my trip.
Gear - The "luggage" I'm going to haul with me.
Preparation - The random things I am doing to ease into the travel lifestyle.
Money - How much scratch I have dumped into living the dream life.
Tips - Are you planning a trip around the world? I'll give you my best advice to help you here.
