The expedition is officially over. This post, one of the most emotive I have written in a while, addresses the change from PanAmerican adventurer to a new encounter with my birthplace. Deciding to...

The journey continues, no doubt... this time, on different grounds. I am blessed and thankful for this second chance at life! ;)

Well, now I will use the remainder of the money to start up my 4x4 export company. I will write a post about it; you will certainly hear about this! I honestly have no idea how I did not break a...

I am okay... but I mean "okay" as in "Tony Stark surviving massive explosion" okay.

I was involved in a dreadful accident with the car, I came out unscathed but the poor wagon is not even suitable as a parts car. I took some time yesterday to write a detailed account of the accident...

A recapitulation about the last few months from the start of the expedition, in 8-bit video game form. 50% complete, now let's go for the other 50%!


THIS EUROPEAN LIFE: HALFWAY THROUGH
...

The inevitable crossing of the Darien Gap via Panama, in a short and sweet format. Not the most exciting thing in the world... but just wait what I have ready for you when I reach Venezuela.

THIS...

When someone mentions Costa Rica to you, perhaps the first thing you think about are lush landscapes, beautiful scenery and paradise-like coastlines. Do you think I am going to write about these?...

Truckeez, my man! I am sending you an email like, right now!

Nicaragua is a truly stunning country! From its colonial towns to its fresh water shores, it has become one of my...

In this episode of This European Life, Miguel whines about the GMAT, drives through a forest fire and crosses the sketchiest border in Central America. Stay tuned for an adventure that will twist...

Well, for my dearest automotive fans I have compiled over 20 cool finds in this article on the funky machinery rolling the streets of Guatemala!

THIS EUROPEAN LIFE: Cars of Guatemala
...

A week-long visit to one of Guatemala's most scenic natural wonders, Lake Atitlán! The expedition will continue on the 1st of March, down through Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama....

As painful to watch as it is, I thought to myself that it's part of the car's life cycle. I have never seen a 300SL in such shape, and it is beautiful to see something so radically different to the...

Life is busy! I am currently studying for the GMAT, so I am not having too much time to spend in sightseeing. Someone has to compensate for six years without math!

In the meanwhile, here's the...

Well, this is it! December 31st, 2012. And here I am, narrating the move from Cancún to Guatemala, which will be followed by two articles on this gorgeous country with photography to match! Everyone...

New delivery! A few short stories aside from the quest of the sad, sad Gullwing, the last of the Cuban trilogy. Some factual, some just plain funny: from an unsuspectingly good-hearted mechanic to a...

Now it's time to make history. This European Life proudly presents one of the longest, most exciting articles of the whole saga: the story on how I went to Cuba to find the lost Mercedes 300SL...

Now, it's time for the long-waited Cuban adventure. This is the first part out of a trilogy on my experience in Havana, starting with a general intro, continuing on the quest of the Gullwing, and...

It is likely that we will meet by a short margin of time. I will zoom past Belize and be working near Antigua. I also have a potential girlfriend there :wings:

At long last! I am back from Cuba...

I am currently writing from a hostel from the overly humid town of Cancún. Today concludes my visit to the Yucatán Peninsula, so I will start writing an article very soon on that. However, for now, I...

...and now for some shameless self-promotion...

I actually shot a little video today in the food market I like to go to. It's 37 seconds long but it has some cool goodies!

Please take a minute...

I finally got around to writing the entry for the glorious Day of the Dead. Much against what we Westerners do, it's a day full of celebration, joy, food and music! I really makes you rethink how one...

Hahahahaha! I wish! Maybe if ExpeditionPortal hires me, I will get myself a G diesel. Same excellent engine!

Now, this is a question for everybody following the adventure: would anyone be...

I got those pesky springs changed at the Mercedes truck dealership! I thought they would be the only ones with the right tools. Amazing low rates, too. The old springs, unfortunately, were from a...
