I am alive and well and in Peru

[Above: Rolf in the coastal desert of Peru.]

One again, I am posting to apologize for not posting more — but the good news behind this is that I’ve been having some great experiences on the road in Ecuador and Peru. Indeed, after nearly two months in Mexico and Central America, the Drive Around the World expedition shipped the Land Rovers from Panama to Ecuador, and we have now resumed our driving. I don’t get much Internet cafe exposure in the meantime — and most of my time spent online here in South America is invested into editing and posting the expedition journals of my teammates. Thus, if you really want to know what my expedition is up to on a given day, surf over to the DATW journal page.

No promises, but I hope to post more photos and dispatches — including a gallery of my best pictures from Central America — here soon! In the meantime, I hope to at least pop in a few times a week to post short updates and travel quotes…

    Hey Rolf, we’ve been keeping up with the DATW trip. If you’re ever in town you’ve got a place.

    Hi I stumbled upon your site and was really interested in how you got your car shipped from panama to ecuador and how long it took. I’m driving to chile next fall from santa cruz california on a extended surf and humanitarian trip and am working on trying to find the best and least expensive route, can you give me some quik advise. I hope its not too much trouble. regards, bob

    Please send me any info about driving from California to Peru. How long did it take you, the dangers involved, insurance… Anything you can think of that might help me get this trip planned. I’m travelling with my wife and my son, so I want to make this as safe as possible. Thank you so much.

  5. Dave Says:

    Me too…anything that will help with best practices for safety. I will be bringing some camera and computer equipment…anybody know about the cheapest, easiest way to get satellite/internet?
