Have you ever felt the urge to break free and explore the unknown? In the autumn of 1995, driving to Manchester, I realized my life needed a dramatic change. What should have been a three-hour drive from Leicester turned into a six-hour ordeal, leaving me cold, damp, and frustrated. The thought of enduring another dreary winter, living out of a suitcase, was unbearable.
Just the week before, stranded on a train to London, I had absentmindedly picked up an abandoned travel magazine. As I flipped through its glossy pages, a specific advertisement on page 34 kept capturing my attention: a five-month journey through South and Central America, starting from Ushuaia in Argentina and ending in Mexico City. This itinerary read like a bucket list: Buenos Aires, Ushuaia, the Atacama Desert, Arequipa, Cusco, and the crown jewel?"Machu Picchu.
A Leap into the Unknown
I was 35, single, with no obligations and a healthy bank account. Why let life slip by? The decision was clear. The following Monday, I handed in my notice, the weight of an undesired future slipping away.
Gone were the constraints of endless meetings and dreary commutes. Now, my priorities included buying outdoor gear?"expensive sleeping bags, weatherproof jackets, and sturdy boots?"all for one ultimate destination: Machu Picchu.
The Adventure Begins
Traveling through South America on a converted truck, camping under the stars, was an entirely new experience for me. The journey promised to be a captivating embrace of nature and culture.
If you’re curious to see how my bold decision unfolded, and what the Inca Trail had in store, join me on this incredible journey to Machu Picchu. Your adventure awaits.
