It was a lifelong dream born from reading a book and finally realised 15 years later. A trip that started as a solo mission to reach Machu Picchu, which almost turned a mini reunion with friends from university and eventually turned into a solo journey of quasi self discovery with a pit stop in Miami to reunite with the Guat Squad.
In Miami, I was reunited with two members of the Guat Squad and together we relived some good memories from the past. Adventure Pants Leo came in from Dominican Republic to make it FIVE countries and three continents we’ve met in. To read more about the Miami pit stop, click on the links below:

In Peru, I realised the importance of having multiple sources of money; That Australians really are the human equivalent of sand, as you find them everywhere but most importantly I realised I like travelling on my own. To read more about the trip:
