BMT 88: The End of the Pan-American Highway with Ford Quarterman (Part 2) Mar 29, 2018

Show notes

We first met Ford back in episode 81 when he came on the show to talk about his solo journey from the US down the Pan-American Highway. He was in Colombia at the time, and now, after 2.5 years on the road, he is back home. He joins us today to reflect on the journey and give tons of great advice for anyone considering driving the Pan-American Highway.

I actually met up with Ford in person last fall and we drove through Chilean Patagonia together (the Carretera Austral) for about five weeks. We will continue this conversation in the next episode to talk about that specific part of his journey as well.

Check out my ultimate guide to the Carretera Austral, which Ford and I drove together in December of 2017.

Check out my first interview with Ford about the top half of his journey down the Pan-American Highway.

Back by popular demand: another travel game show! Join me today as I catch up with two female bloggers: Gloria Atanmo from The Blog Abroad and Leah Davis from The Sweetest Way. While we are usually all traveling in different parts of the world, the three of us have all been in the same place together for one random holiday, you’ll have to listen to hear that story.

Grab a drink and get ready to laugh as we ask each other questions about our travels, our habits, our preferences, and more. These questions are randomly selected from a list of generic travel questions as well as from a list provided by our own BMT Community.

BMT 82: South America by Motorcycle with Casey Wong Jul 31, 2017

Show notes

Casey Wong bought a motorcycle and shipped it to South America, where he proceeded to ride it from Colombia to Argentina, on his own. In Ecuador he ran into a friend of mine, which prompted an introduction to me and eventually a few beers in person as he passed through Bariloche, where I happened to be living in Argentina. With the notorious Patagonian winds, questionable roads, and oncoming winter, I worried about his safety as he continued south. A year later, we get to hear the complete story of Casey's motorcycle adventures through South America, including best resources for traveling motorcyclists, how to ship a bike to South America, logistics and advice for the road, and what Casey always, always kept in stock on his bike, no matter what sort of challenges he faced.

BMT 81: Exploring the Americas by Car with Ford Quarterman Jul 19, 2017

Show notes

Ford pulled out of his driveway in Georgia in October 2015 to start driving his truck down the Pan-American Highway, all the way to the end of the world in Patagonia, Argentina. He is on a mission to break stereotypes between Latinos and Gringos (Americans), live & experience first-hand cultural experiences, find the best adventures, learn Spanish, and show that America is a continent and not a country. His journey is meant to be shared, through the internet or if he has a seat available in his car, in real life!
