Lost World Expedition (US-Central-South America)

[lostworldexpedition]

Thanks guys. We really appreciate feedback! We've been pretty bad about updating even our blog We try to post a pic every other day on Facebook, so that our respective families and friends know we are all right. I also use Twitter regularly as it is turning out to be a good way to stay in touch (brief) with fellow overlanders.

We are actually in the midst of a crazy decision making time... our trip was originally intended to last one year, that quickly became a year and a half... well, now we consider ourselves nomads . We decided last year to continue the trip from South America to include the rest of the world. We recently found temporary jobs in the U.S. starting mid June. So we are leaving the LandCruiser in Chile and flying to Florida in order to try to add some fuel to our coffers.

During our time in the U.S. we will work on the blog, edit the thousands of photos we have, continue to self teach ourselves photography and photoshop/Lightroom editing and hopefully make enough bank to keep us going at least another year...

So if anyone is in Florida panhandle from mid June until end of September, please let us know. I will be bartending... and if you stop by Apalachicola I'll buy you a drink ("a" as in 1 )

BTW did you see the post when this tiny ***** piranha took a chunk of my thumb?

alternating between work and travel is a great way to go.

That's awesome guys, keep up the dream. Now we know that we'll definitely be able to catch up!

Shannon and I have always been curious, what did you and Lacey do for a living before you left on your trip?

Yep, we are hoping to meet you guys, Home on the Higwhay, The Nacho's and maybe Jeremy (World Apprentice)... There seems to be a whole bunch of north American overlanders coming down! We'll see what speed everyone settles to. Maybe we can have an Ushuaia party!

As far as our prior careers; I was (am?) an environmental /civil engineer and Lacey was(is) an environmental scientist and groundwater remediation specialist. Although for the last couple of years before she left she was a bartender as well (more mulla for the trip ).

BTW have you guys run into the DinoEvo crew? They don't have a blog but they are somewhere near Honduras...

We haven't bumped into them yet, we're still in Central Mexico. We're doing some Muskoka stuff right now in Guanajuato, but we're moving on next week. We've gotta hurry up if we wanna make the Ushuaia party!

Good luck in the US, and if you ever need any advice on LR, don't be shy and just ask.

Oh and did I tell you guys you would better not miss out on Brazil and the little countries in the north eastern corner of the South American continent which almost all the overlanders seem to avoid for no good reason!

Adventurous greetings,
Coen

Luis, when will you be arriving in FLA? Cindy and I are only a short drive from Apalachicola depending on where you are. We need to visit.

Ya'll could come down to Cedar Key and hang out at the tiki bar

Nice updates, since AHEM the blog updates have gotten sparse... Too bad you two will be 3,000mi away when you are back in the US but if it refills the coffers then do what works. And I think I need to lobby my cable TV provider to start carrying the Peruvian news.

Thanks for the pics and details, fun stuff as always.

We may take you up on the offer, my aunt has a place on Isla Morada that we may visit... so we'll definitely stop by if we do!
