From May 2024 we will be embarking on a journey to travel the Panamerican highway from Alaska (Prudhoe Bay) to Ushuaia (Argentina). We intend to reach Argentina by December 2025.

Description

Thanks for looking at our profile!

We are a travelling couple currently based in Whitehorse, Canada. We came here for a workaway in May 2021 and fell in love with the wild open spaces and beauty of the Yukon and made it our home for several years. After a lot of consideration, we've decided that it's now time to move on and seek new experiences.

We plan to travel south in May 2024, with our ultimate goal to eventually transit the entire Pan-American highway and reach the most southern point in South America accessible by road in Argentina. We do not have a timeline but will be looking for workaway opportunities along the road to meet local people, experience new cultures, practice our Spanish and generally have some great experiences.

We are looking for some interesting workaways that fit with our travel plans. Our experience with workaways and house sitting has always been hugely positive and we often find that we become great friends with those we connect with.
