Most people only have the opportunity or desire to experience life through events that are directly around them where they are safe and a daily routine provides comfort. While these people are content viewing the world through a magazine, book, television or internet, Derek and Michael are not satisfied with this. We require a much more personal interaction with the people and cultures of the world. We require an ubiased and honest view that can only be obtained by experiencing the world ourselves. We are obligated to answer the internal call of adventure which tells us to go out and experience places and situations that are both good and bad but never the less help us grow as human beings. We also desire to leave a lasting impact and positive view of our own culture upon the communities we visit and change the way the world views us. If you have comments or questions about what we are doing feel free to post or comment!

Our expedition will be approximately 6 months long starting in Mexico and flowing down as far south as Tierra Del Fuego in Argentina, the southernmost point of South America. In between we will be visiting as many countries as we can at a pace that will allow us to enjoy the trip. So keep reading and keep us company on this grand adventure!
