This is an uplifting book that takes you to an amazing journey thru South America. I enjoyed Andy's humor and his love for travelling becomes contagious when you are reading the book. I’ve been to South America but after reading this book, I want to go again and again. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a funny easy to read story for your next holiday or to read on the tube in the way to work.
