I am leaving in may to satart backpacking the world on a 3 year tour. its just me and a friend, maybe 2. i was wondering, can i bring my machete across the borders or should i purchase a new one each time i cross a border? most of our travel will be by foot, or by ship, no air travel. can i bring my survival knife, fillet knife and machete with me, or will it cause problems? and which crossings do you suggest we stay away from?

Wow congratulations! I’m desperately wanting to travel to South American in April. I’m nervous though and still weighing my decision. Lots of peers and friends think it’s better to get grounded and financially stable, ie. “getting a real job” but I still feel like the road is calling my name. Besides life is much more than working in a stable office job a lot of life is who we meet, what experiences we have, and other mysteries. I’m 26 years old and have travelled throughout Asia. However, I’ve always wanted to go to South America and Spain, and I’m asking myself , “if not now, when?” We only live once, enjoy your travels!

Oh I’m excited! I just found your blog and love Latin America and can’t wait to hear all you have to say about your travels through the different countries! And to hear that you were unhappy with your job and have gone out doing what you love instead gives me so much more fuel to do the same, only b/c I too feel the same way.

Nancy! Thank you so much for your kind words. Yep, I’m out here on a shoestring, trying to gain more traffic and visibility for the blog (aren’t we all), so it means a lot when someone with your writing success says this. Count me a friend as well as a blogger fan.

Wow! I’m catching up on reading blogs and this is a whopper, Barbara! I’ve learned so much more about you in this blog post. Thanks for sharing.

As GotPassport said, “all of the comments from various bloggers” has been powerful. While I haven’t had the chance to meet a lot of these bloggers, I, too feel inspired when I read of people following their passion!

Safe travels to you! What a Trip. Sign me another travel blogging fan.

Got Passport: Thanks for sharing that. It makes me feel that what I do has value. If I can help just one person to find their true path, then it’s worth everything I’ve given up to get to this point.

Barbara,

This post and all the comments from various bloggers have been so powerful for me (us) as a rookie(s) aching to leave the everyday trappings. Thank you for being a source of inspiration and strength that we too can make it happen!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
