In April 2014 we left New Zealand and set out to travel South America, more about how and why this decision came about will follow later but being a couple, let's just say beyond our 30's, it isn't the standard pre or post university gap year. We hope to see as much of this vast continent as possible with the FIFA world cup in Brazil featuring heavily.
During the planning of our trip my father in law Enzo was the biggest supporter of our trip. He loved the idea of playing by our own rules, not those laid out by standard convention. He loved the idea of the adventure and more than anything he was thrilled that we are going to the FIFA world cup.
Sadly and devastatingly Enzo passed away a few weeks ago just before we were due to depart. As such a strong supporter of our plan we are bringing him along for the ride in the name of our blog and look out for pictures of his Italian flag along the way.
I'm writing principly as a personal journal and if some of our friends and family tune in along the way that will be great, if we provide some useful tips to fellow travellers along the way so much the better.
Welcome.
What a great tribute to Enzo! So happy to have shared a bit of your journey, and I look forward to traveling vicariously with you throughout the adventures yet-to-come. Cheers!
