Traveling the Americas with a Kid
Join us on the road as our story unfolds…
We have been on the road for 1888 Days. After four years and 79’000miles, we are now traveling through South America! USA, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile and these days in Argentina… :-)) You can read everything about our adventures here and or watch our YouTube videos. Enjoy!

Guatemala is a smaller country than Mexico, small enough to quite possibly traverse the land from one side to the other in just a day- but there is a caveat- the traffic! East to West,…
Antigua- the first of many visits. A guy we had met in Lake Atitlán had said “if you think Lake Atitlán is touristy, wait until you get to Antigua”. He certainly wasn’t wrong. But unlike…
Guatamala- new country, new people and new culture. After a successful border crossing with our friends ’The Simons’, we entered the town of La Mesilla with eyes wide open. What a change to our surroundings.…
