Our Mission Statement

We travel because we found ourselves unsatisfied, the taste of what we were supposed to do had gone sour in our mouths. We wander because we can, because we were no longer comfortable in our comfort zone. We move so that our minds may never turn to stone as we sit and follow orders. We embark because we do not need anything we cannot carry on our backs. We travel to feel the fear of the unknown and the freedom of knowing nothing. We travel to learn, to love, to experience. We Go to taste a little of South America and bite into the unknown.

Female Road Narrative

Where are my female travelers? where is my woman Jack Kerouac? where are the stories of the women who pioneered?  No one has ever told me a story about female Frodo and Sam Wise with a vagina! Where are Lady lewis and Cunty Clark? Where are the stories of the women who decided the man in the shadows wasnt going to scare them into inaction?

I know they are out there, the women who face big snakes and giant cats, who carry everything they own in one bag and depend on the sweat of their brows and the strength of their backs to keep them alive. Where are the women, the women who keep walking when their feet blister and their minds wander. Where is my lady odysseus? The ladies who know that being strong means doing something like a girl. The women who know what it is like to be a female first, and a human second. The ones who say "I have a cunt and you just might have vagina envy!"  

When we go, we go with more things to fight against, when we walk we walk with more things to fear, when we dress, we dress with the knowledge that someone might call our short sleeves an invitation. When we plan, we plan for everything. When we do it, We do it as women! 

Here is the Female Road Narrative, and you can be sure well be even bigger than the Frodos, Well be even better than the Clarks and well be even more iconic than the Kerouacs. Here it is, for i am woman and I am the god damn fucking protagonist!
