CURRENT MISSION

Yo!

My name´s Ross Logan and I´m on a cycle adventure through South America, north to south. I’m set off from Medellin, Colombia, and have been through Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Chile. I'm now spending 2 weeks in Uruguay before ending my trip in Buenos Aires.

I’d been dreaming of doing a cross-continental bike trip for a long time and, after finishing up my contract teaching English in Bogota last December I thought what the hell, bought a bike and hit the road. It's been tough but I've had without doubt the best year of my life, met some incredible people and seen a lot of stuff I'll never forget.

Cheers!

ABOUT ME

- I'm tall and lanky, like an orangutan after a punishing session on the rack.
- Over the last few years I've lived in Germany, South Korea and Colombia
- I like to play guitar and sing. Am I any good? Uh..you can decide.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
