Really interested in your journey, adventures, tips – great write ups and superb photos. You met my son Ashley from Sussex, in Ushuaia when he had just sailed round Cape Horn. He has also been to and enjoyed many of the same places and journeys as you by motorbike, bus and boat. He is currently in the Amazon! Keep safe – and continue to enjoy 😊

Hola Ashley’s mum, lovely of you to get in touch. What a nice surprise. We both loved meeting Ashley, I wrote about him in one of the Ushuaia posts as he made a great lasting impression on us. Think I described him as a gentle soul, I was very taken with him as he seemed very unruffled by life and didn’t have an aggressive bone in him. It’d be great to see him again and pick up where we left off. I’m looking forward to spending time in the Amazon, it would be rude not to go for a few weeks. My mum is close-ish to you in Surrey and regularly pops into Sussex to walk, both beautiful counties in that corner of the world. She’s a keen rambler. Lots of long distance and Latin American love, Lisa (& Jason) xxx
