A great and enjoyable trip across North and South America. A trip I absolutely want to do myself. A very fun look at some different parts of the world, especially the interesting difference in views from across the borders.

Lang geleden gelezen maar om niet te vergeten. Ik houd van waargebeurde reisverhalen.

It was okay. It wasn't the greatest bit of escapist travel writing. Clearly, she couldn't relate everything from her travels, but I felt that she skipped over things that would have been interesting. She writes honestly, though not really self-reflexively. I was content that at least she criticized Westerners traveling through Central and South America as much as she did the locals she encountered. I think it would have been more interesting to keep up with the blog/website that she did while [b:on the road|6288|The Road|Cormac McCarthy|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21E8H3D1JSL._SL75_.jpg|3355573], rather than reading the book, which really felt like the condensed version.

Mildly entertaining autobiographical account of one woman's motorcycle tour of North and South America. Through mechanical troubles, relationships troubles, and self-imposed troubles, she emerges having had a wonderful experience, and (hopefully) having grown and matured a bit.
