Hola!

Follow our journey as we try to cover an impossible amount of miles with the barest minimum of luggage, budget and language skills...Can we keep smiling through adversity? Can Darren pet stray animals without getting bitten? Will Angie overcome her phobia of flies/ants/spiders etc?

Keep checking back for new instalments or sign up for email alerts...
