Preparing for the Pan American Highway - ALONE | Driving South EP1

Like many others, driving from North America to South America has always been a dream of mine. the ultimate overland adventure. A few years ago I started asking myself if this is something I would actually do. Well, 4 months ago I decided to stop making excuses for myself made the decision to start seriously preparing myself and my vehicle for the 30,000km+ journey from North to South.

It's the last night before I start the drive and I find myself thinking all the familiar thoughts I've had making this decision. "What if something happens to the truck? What if something goes wrong? What if my things get stolen? Should I have quit my job to do this? What if I have no money when I come back?". They're all questions I've had for myself, and questions friends and family have had for me. Letting fears and worries and "what if's" stop me from living my life the way I want to is a far bigger fear of mine than some financial losses. We should be more worried about losing the short amount of time we have than money that can be made back. I'd rather try and fail than wonder if it's something that could've happened for me, like too many others.

This video covers a small part of those last 4 months preparing to be on the road full time. It's my attempt at putting something together. Learning to edit, learning to film, and learning to work on my vehicle and become as self reliant as possible. This is a leap of faith.

This is to new beginnings.
