    Fred and Emmy are my uncle and auntie. Their power to pick up and leave to chase their dream has inspired me for a long time. Tho i have children/family and traveltime is more limited, i ve tried to see many different countries. Its such an eye opener to meet different cultures and learn of different ways of living. I ve taken my son to Thailand, Took a traintrip around Taiwan with him, took him to Zanzibar,.. I hope someday he catches the same bug as i got from my uncle and auntie. Stil wishing them a good health so they can get those extra 50 years of travel in.

    Happy Sunday folks , thank you for yet another great opportunity to tag along on your journey. Just remember, it's not the destination my friends... It's the journey and memories & people you meet along the path that matters ... The Road Not Taken
    Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
    And sorry I could not travel both
    And be one traveler, long I stood
    And looked down one as far as I could
    To where it bent in the undergrowth;
    Then took the other, as just as fair,
    And having perhaps the better claim,
    Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
    Though as for that the passing there
    Had worn them really about the same,
    And both that morning equally lay
    In leaves no step had trodden black.
    Oh, I kept the first for another day!
    Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
    I doubted if I should ever come back.
    I shall be telling this with a sigh
    Somewhere ages and ages hence:
    Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
    I took the one less traveled by,
    And that has made all the difference.
    - Robert Frost
    P.S. Someday these folks will be you . And a young couple will be interviewing you. ❤

    Best travel interview I've seen in awhile. Awesome couple too, obviously that helps. They started 20 years ago so they really are the OG slow travellers -- "SLLOOOOWWW is the way to GO!" for exactly the reasons they cited.
    It's also much more affordable -- kind of what I'm planning. Of course "plan" in only the most general sense -- specifics are most often impossible to plan in any concrete way.

    Great job on the interview, that was amazing. They say the same thing I do, there are good and bad people in every country, but most people are good people. And I totally agree on the resorts, you'll probably only meet people from your home country there, so why go abroad at all? One fond travel memory I have is from the Greek island of Samos, where my wife and I rented a scooter. We drove around the island, and when we stopped for a little break, someone called us from a vineyard and invited us over, and we had a long and very interesting talk with the owner. And sure, he showed us around, he had a lot of very interesting experiences throughout his life, and we became fast friends. That kind of encounters stick with you, just like you'll remember those two for a very long time. And about subtitles, the ones RUclips automatically generates did a great job, so don't worry about that. Safe travels, have fun.

In Guatemala I was advised to say Canadian if asked where I was from. The USA and Guatemala have had a turbulent history. Best place to learn Spanish is in Mexico. Just basic phrases is a good place to get started. I traveled alone so the only way I could communicate was in Spanish.

    There will be fewer and fewer Americans as you go south. Plenty of Europeans, mostly Germans and many of them are only doing SA. You'll start to see Brazilians, Chileans and Argentineans as well starting around Ecuador and Peru. Everyone you meet in South America will ask if you are going north or south! We do have children and we still chose to live in on the road with them. But what we do is certainly not common.
    You will certainly see plenty of people doing the panam in a year but i think it's insensitive to call them stupid. But more likely just a poor choice of words. Most are doing it because they are not retired and that's the only way they can make the trip happen. They know they are missing a lot but i give them credit for not choosing the alternative which is not going. But i often hear non-native English speakers say that certain behavior is 'so stupid' not knowing it is an insensitive thing to say. 🤷 Sorry but I've heard it enough in these situations that it is kinda triggering every time i hear it. Even if they don't mean it to be that way.
