Many people dream of going on a great travel adventure.

Most of us keep dreaming; others make it happen . . . ���

Gregg Bleakney’s dream was to travel the Americas from top

to bottom. He got the idea after he finished a 1,600 kilometer

(1,000 mile) bike ride. Gregg’s friend, Brooks Allen, was also a

cyclist.1 The two friends talked and slowly formed a plan: they

would travel from Alaska to Argentina—by bike.

To pay for the trip, Gregg and Brooks worked and saved

their money for years. Once they were on the road, they

often camped outdoors or stayed in hostels.2 In many places,

local people opened their homes to the two friends and gave

them food.

During their trip, Gregg and Brooks cycled through deserts,

rainforests, and mountains. They visited modern cities and

ancient ruins3 such as Machu Picchu in Peru. And everywhere

they went, they met other cyclists from all over the world.

In May 2007—two years, twelve countries, and over

30,500 km (19,000 miles) later—Gregg eventually reached

Ushuaia, Argentina, the southernmost city in the world. (Near

Guatemala, Brooks had to return to the U.S., and Gregg

continued without him.)

The trip taught both men a lot about traveling,

especially if you travel abroad. What did they learn?

Here is some of Gregg’s advice:

Travel light. The less baggage you have, the less

you’ll worry about.

Be flexible. Don’t plan everything. Then you’ll

be more relaxed and happy, especially if there

are problems.

Be polite. As one traveller told Gregg, “Always

remember that nobody wants to fight, cheat, or

rob4 a nice guy.”

Gregg and Brooks (right)

cycle past ruins in Tikal

National Park, Guatemala.

1 A cyclist is someone who rides a bicycle.

2 A hostel is a cheap place to stay and sleep when traveling.

3 The ruins of something are the parts of it that remain after it has been broken.

4 If someone is robbed, they have money or property stolen from them.
