Hola Amigos,

I am a medical student with a mission: to travel from Ann Arbor, Michigan to Tierra del Fuego, Argentina on my Kawasaki KLR 650 and to share what I have, resources and know-how, to those in need along the way.

Apart from meeting new friends, experiencing different cultures and taking in the raw beauty of the Americas, I will gain first hand experience as a medical and social services volunteer, responsible for other people’s lives -as I hope to someday be- a full-fledged physician. Across Latin America, I had the opportunity to assist in free clinics. One day, I saw over 200 patients, many of whom had not seen a physician before. In Panama city, I provided support to abused and battered women and their children through the Calicento/En Laces Foundation. In Nicaragua, I got to work with veterinarians (World Vets - Volunteer Veterinary Projects) to neuter & spay animals. And in Cusco, Peru, I collaborated with other students, physicians and dentists in providing free medical and dental care to orphans.

More than 30,000km down; I'm over halfway there. Unfortunately, my trusty motorcycle, has severe engine problems and is in need of some dire repairs. A 3rd engine rebuild in less than 4 months and 7000km as mechanics who tried to help along the way did more harm than good. The tank is empty, I’m down to my last few dollars, and I’m stuck in Bolivia until further notice.

Fortunately, my siblings have set up a Facebook fan page to get the word out: Help Victor Help Others. As a fellow rider, I ask for your support in any way, shape or form. Please check out my fan page, “Like” it, share it, donate through Paypal/FundRazr App or if you’re feeling extra generous, you can do all of the above. I also have a website: ¿Donde Esta Victor? that chronicles my journey. With your help, I should be back on the road in no time. Rest assured, I'll make sure all your support will go the distance - in helping others through volunteer work.

Muchas Gracias and best wishes,
