a book by Andres Carlstein

What makes a man sell all he owns and ride a motorcycle 22,000 miles from his hometown in upstate New York to the
southernmost tip of South America? Some call it craziness; Latinos call it "cajones." This funny, fast-paced narrative
follows a young man in his search for meaning, adventure, and the best rum in Latin America. Battling rough roads,
careening buses, and bribe-taking cops in 14 countries, he discovers breathtaking beauty as well as what it feels like
to hit a truck head-on. He and his companions for much of the trip-two bikers he met over the Internet-form an unlikely
and amusing trio. In the tradition of Road Fever and Motorcycle Diaries, Odyssey to Ushuaia
is a riot for every reader,
and absolutely essential for those planning a similar trip. Loaded with insider information such as how to bribe cops
and not lose one's savings, how to cross a border without going crazy, how to handle an accident, and much more,
it also features an appendix with the detailed trip lists from all three riders.
