| Find out how we got Charlotte and how she got her name! "Saving Charlotte" Fumbling Across America with a Reluctant VW Bus Available at major booksellers like Barnes & Noble or Amazon.com |
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  |
After months of preparation, we hopped in Charlotte (our beloved 4x4 Vanagon Syncro)
and drove to the southern-most tip of South America, spending fourteen extraordinary
months camping and living on the road. Then, in April 2016, a keen desire to finish our
North-South tour of the Americas led to two months exploring western Canada and
Alaska, eventually arriving at the top of the world...Prudhoe Bay, Alaska.
As with all of our adventures, our biggest plan for the Americas was to have no plan at
all. Feeling extremely fortunate, however, to be in a position to travel, we are strongly
motivated to share our experiences and adventures through continuing blog posts and
books. We love having you along for the ride!
We still intend to ship Charlotte to Europe for a year or more of wandering (our July 2020
departure was derailed by CoVid!), but for now, life at home has been rich and
rewarding. We will also continue to post blogs on our shorter-term adventures, like our
more recent trips to Israel, Paris and New Zealand, so stay tuned! If you are not already

Now for the Big Announcement!
Our entire blog, all 2,187 pages and 2,300 color photos, has been published as an
eBook (it was too big to produce in paper!) called, Charlottamiles South and North -
Nevada to Argentina to Alaska - A Circuitous Sojourn in a VW Syncro. See below for a full
book description or go to Amazon Kindle or iBooks.
Whether having adventures of your own or enjoying life at home, we wish the best for all
of you!
Cheers,
Ned and Kat

“At 6am, December 21st, right on schedule, Ned and I looked at
each other in the pre-dawn dark of the bus, gulped a couple of
times and said goodbye to all the comforts of home. The future
was now an immense unknown. I felt this crazy fluctuation of
feelings bouncing around somewhere between the
anticipation of elated excitement and the apprehension of
sheer terror. But how incredibly fortunate we were; the road
ahead was not so much a black hole as a blank canvas.”
