About this blog

Tall tales of danger, daring and rum in Latin America. Learning Spanish and volunteering off the beaten track for months on end. Then a year working n living it up Kiwi stylee surfin, snowboardin and kicking back in the mountains. Then the big finale, a trip homewards thru Asia and Europe. Not one to be too hasty about things, only the slow boat, train or elephant will do!
