No worries, I&#x27;m more than happy to answer questions. I love showing and helping others get out there. My site, <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;theroadchoseme.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;theroadchoseme.com</a> has a lot of details on my Alaska-&gt;Argentina drive, and now my trip around Africa.<p>I&#x27;ll answer those questions as they apply to Alaksa-&gt;Argentina. Let me know if you meant something else, or want me to expand.<p>&gt;<i>1) What did you eat and drink?</i><p>I bought bottled water for the entire trip - it was easy to get 20L of filter water everywhere and fill up my container. I tried to cook all my own food on my little camp stove, rice, beans, pasta. etc. Then cooked food was very cheap in South America, so I was buying it at markets, etc. It was around $1USD for a huge plate.<p>&gt;<i>2) Where did you sleep?</i><p>In my ground tent about 3&#x2F;4 of the nights, the rest in hostels or cheaper hotels. I always tried to &quot;wild camp&quot; for free - off the side of gravel roads, etc. I never had a single problem or bad encounter doing that.<p>&gt;<i>3) What was an average day like?</i>
Wake up with the sun, eat breakfast, exercise, break camp, drive about 1-2 hours, then find something to do for the rest of the day - swimming, hiking, markets, cities, reading, chatting to people, walking on the beach etc. then find somewhere to camp (free, hopefully!)<p>&gt; <i>4) How did you deal with days like christmas day, new years eve, your birthday, the solstice and any other special day to you.</i><p>A couple were lonely and I was a bit sad, for others I had friends fly in, and even my whole family came to Buenos Aires for Christmas.<p>&gt; <i>5) Did you see or find anything curious? Something that made you pause and wonder?</i><p>Yep. The energy at the magic bus is something I still wonder about. It should be a sad place, but it&#x27;s actually an extremely energizing, happy place. Something is going on there I don&#x27;t understand. (I&#x27;m not religious... but... I dunno)<p>&gt; <i>6) Is that sort of adventure a man thing? Did you ever hear of a woman doing something similar by choice?</i><p>Absolutely women do it too! A female friend just drove AK-&gt;Argentina solo, and another is setting out in the next couple of years. I met hundreds of solo female backpackers too, having the time of their lives.
