Lo leí hasta la mitad y lo dejé cuando vuelve para Estados Unidos a pasar navidad, empieza a contarte de eso y decide saltearse no se cuántos países y parte de México (???) para seguir después en Nicaragua.
Lo vi recomendado como buen libro de viaje pero la verdad que un poco chanta qué decirles.
Enjoyable and interesting but not life-changing or inspiring beyond the obvious concept.
3.5 stars. This book would have benefitted greatly from an epilogue; there were a lot of things I would have loved to hear his perspective on after life returned to normal.
A 30-year decides to take a bike trip from Oregon to Patagonia with only what he can carry and a friend. This may sound like a sequel to Motorcycle Diaries, but it's actually a modern-day adventure with millennials spending time on Intagram.
The drive for travel and adventure gets people moving in different ways. For this author it meant announcing to his friends and coworkers he was going to undertake this adventure - and following trough on it.
While many books of this genre are journeys to “find myself” it felt more as though this were a journey to just do something cool and instagram worthy. To enjoy doing it for sure, but that was more the drive. I felt I could very well empathize with the narrators sometimes controlling behavior and over planning, which can be a hinderance to just enjoying the moment.
