The First Steps

 We quit our jobs and sold our house!

Our adventure is just beginning but it has been years in the making.

We are tying up some loose ends in Quesnel, BC before driving the first thousand kilometres of our trip along the Pan-American Highway.

On July 5th we plan to depart and slowly make our way to Tuktoyaktuk in the Northwest Territories.  We will officially begin our trip to the Arctic Ocean before driving south for 1 1/2 -2 years to Ushuaia, Argentina to end up at the Antarctic Ocean.

We will be living in approximately 30 square feet of living space in Bearry, our trusty Dodge Grand Caravan.


Bearry, our noble stead for our adventure.

We are glad you have found our blog and hope you are able to follow the ups and downs of our adventure into minivan life.  If you're looking for more photos and fewer words, check us out on Instagram @gogogauthiers.

Take care and stay safe,

Paul, Kendra and Rupert

Will our van be the death of us!?

Issues with our van seem to be a trend we have to keep overcoming in southern South America.  Unfortunately this blog is more about the same...
