My boyfriend, new boyfriend mind you, and I have decided that in a year and a half we are going to quit our jobs, relocated to southern CA and drive the Pan American highway all the way from Mexico to Panama then make our way through South America to his home in Brazil. We must be absolutely nuts....stark raving mad.
I am so excited I can hardly stand it...and I just don't know where to begin. So I thought I would start a blog of my journey to get to my journey. My plan is to blog each step of the way, offer solutions I find, lament about problems I run into, pass on suggestions and just basically share my path to what I hope will be a turning point in my otherwise mundane sort of life.
I have nothing tying me down so why not venture off to the great unknown and suck up all the life I can while I have the chance.
I hope you enjoy my journey as much as I enjoy sharing it with you.
Mellissa
PS Juliano, the other half, is at work, but this is his adventure too, so I post for both of us.

Our second date
The journey of a lifetime...California to Brazil...in a truck...7,000 miles on a budget...in the summer season. Just what does it take to get there? Is it possible without some trouble along the way?
Stay tuned to see if this couple makes it to the end!

About Us
Our second date
- Mellissa and Juliano
- Cambridge, MA
- Mellissa - Grew up in small town Tennessee but knew she’d never stay. Her parents traveled the world for two years before she was conceived, so the world is in her blood. A former documentary producer and non-profit junkie, she paid off all her credit cards and free from that burden, decided to quit her good job and go have the adventure that would not take no for an answer. She speaks a little Spanish, just enough to get by.
Juliano – Grew up in Santa Catarina, Brazil with a love of punk music, long skateboards and the beach. An avid photographer and soccer fan, he came to the U.S. for an adventure and now it seems he has found one...or two. Funny thing, he had to leave Brazil in order to find himself. He is taking the long way home, driving through Central and South America. He is also a very good driver.
The Couple – Mellissa and Juliano knew each other for a little over three years before they got together. She says he always had a crush on her…sometimes he agrees…with a grin. After five months of wooing and many date offers, Mellissa finally accepted. They soon discovered that they are the best thing to happen in the each other's life.
