Trip of a lifeline

I have always wanted to trek the inca trail to Machu Pichu and decided to go for it this summer. Whilst looking at the costings I noticed that you could get longer trips than the three week ones I was looking into. Then Steph mentioned overlanding to me. I couldn't put the brochures down. Deciding to take a year off work was easy, the hard part was deciding on the length and destination of this initial journey. It was always going to encompass Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador and at times the jouney was simply Ecuador to Brazil. Then I thought about carring on from Brazil to Venezuala and Colombia. Next I was contemplating flying from Brazil stright into another overland adventure centering around Egypt and Jordan. Finally I have ended up with an intinery I am really excited about. I'm still going to do the trip around Eqypt and Jordan but perhaps I'll wait until next year.
