It was time to leave the comfort of Sue and Roy and join my Tucan tour group.
Meeting at the Karcama hotel in Lima city, we sat around a large oak table and had to do the whole ‘who are you’, ‘what did you do back home’ and ‘where are you heading in South America’ introduction.
As I heard from the other 20 new tour members, I realised that these people, most of who had quit their jobs to be apart of this journey, were just like me in their sense of adventure and direction – we were a busload of bums heading to Rio! (woot woot)
