South America by Motorcycle: From Ottawa to Ushuaia

By: Porter, Terrence

After a health scare, Terrence and his wife Isabelle retired from teaching to travel the Americas on their two motorcycles; South America came first. They planned to ride from Ottawa, Canada to a port on the Antarctic Ocean called Ushuaia, the most southern city on Earth. Argentinians called it Fin Del Mundo, the End of the World. Their friends thought they were crazy, but their adult children called them badass. Once on the road, trepidation they felt about danger in faraway places melted, allowing their hearts to open for the awakening to come. Ride along with them as they embark on a fourteen-month motorcycle odyssey from Canada to the tip of Argentina. Twist the throttle with them up hair-pinned mountain roads, around volcanoes, across deserts, through thick jungles and amid urban mayhem. Overcoming adversities like broken bones and broken plans helped them discover the wonder, healing and kindness brought on by new friendships in distant lands. Mostly though, experience with Isabelle and Terrence the raw beauty of natural wonders and the personal connections they make along the way that help them to learn more about themselves, about each other and about what it means to be human.
