    Default World Apprentice: Volunteer Overlander

    After several months of planning, I’m just days away from crossing south into Mexico on my drive from Arizona to Argentina. I decided to take a year-or-so extended leave of absence from my office duties in order to head out on a grand adventure. The idea is to not only volunteer at various places along the way, but also to document master craftsmen of their trade. Thus is born World Apprentice.




    This first leg will focus on just Latin America (which I've nicknamed 'Aprendiz Américas'). During the past few months of preparations, I’ve written several articles appearing on the main page of ExPo – with many more to come. This post will serve as a place to catalog each of those, and this thread will serve as an active discussion about my travels.

    I'm in northern Mexico now, finishing up some "preparations" articles, and will have some travel stories posted next. I also have the beginnings of my website live, along with a SPOT page.

    Sneak preview: one of the first photos taken on the trip in Mexico, at a campsite I rolled into just at sunset. Just enough time to whip out the tripod before it got too dark!

    Just wanted to keep you up-to-date, I'm still working on those boats for you. Recently received a few no's, but I'm still waiting on a few boats and other contacts to reply back to me.
