Rovers: To the End of the Road


One of my favorite things about traveling is the people you meet. It is so inspirational and educational sharing thoughts and experiences with others who have made the world their neighborhood. We have come across all walks including, but not limited to, solo men and women, couples (some also with dogs!), and babies!

This installment of Rovers, we feature Genn and Seb. A French Canadian couple who early in their dating decided to spend a long weekend together. With no set plan, they decided to drive to the end of the road near where they lived, which would take them two days each way. Fast-forward, and they set their sights on a longer road, The Pan-American Highway. So with a ten month “schedule” and an economical hatchback, they began south to conquer Mexico and Central America. We crossed paths with them in El Salvador as they were on their way north. Genn taught me how to make woven bracelets, so if we ever decide to become full on vagabonds we have a source of income. A card game was shared that has spurred our competitive sides, as well as websites to help find free accommodations  along the way. The greatest gift from Genn and Seb was introducing us to the choco-banano. A frozen banana, dipped in chocolate that forms a shell over it, and sometimes served rolled in peanuts. At 15 cents a pop, these quickly became a regular part of our diet.

Gracias Genn and Seb!
