mexico and central america on the bus
In and around Central America / Caribbean
i hope you enjoy reading this. this was my first ever trip away alone, the furthest and longest i have ever been away from home, an absolutely terrifying prospect for me but sheer boredom and frustration made me do it. i had a lot of fun, and cried a lot too, but i would tell anybody else to do the same. so i hope this will make you get up out of your chair to go book a flight!
