Dear Carry Dries:

This site, and others as well, are so helpful when you are planning on doing a long trip, as yours. Personally, I think a year is too short for the journey you have in mind. Perhaps, a year would be enough for the Americas, but including half Asia……….humm……..it needs another full year, or much more.

Although places and roads are the same for everyone, traveling is different, because everybody wants different goals, different experiences, different pace. Many travelers could give you general advices, but not particular ones, they depend of you. Particular tips should be extracted from others experiences and filtrated by one self. Somebody recommends you a certain road, but you will miss the other one; some place, you’ll miss another, etc., etc. While reading tales and stories from others, you are going to make your own library, your own archives, this way you could decide by yourself, not by others.

And is not friendly to ask for “everything and anything…..”, that is not possible. You could ask about precise topics, ask about some stretch of road, ask about weather is some month, etc, but…….about everything and anything? It’s too much.

Respect of buying a motorcycle in Chile, here there is a long post about that.

Sintaxis and grammar mistakes are standard for all of us using a language different of our mother tongue. But in order of not disrespecting the countries we are considering, we should try to write historic and geographical names, as nationals do. It is Chile, not Chili, as it is Ecuador -the country- and equator -the imaginary line-, not Equador, and it is the Netherlands, not Nederland, right? I’m sorry for pulling out your pretty little ears, but in the long, you will win.

Good look reading wonderful stories, here!!
