Yes, a lot of times I do wonder what all the fuss is about. But, I'm already a really experienced traveler, and have been since I was a teen. I've now ridden in Latin America for 17,000km, and as a soon to be solo-female motorcyclist on this trip, things are different than for a man... I was nearly kidnapped in Guatemala at 17, and sexually assaulted there at 21 (thank god I got away both times, unscathed except for some psychological trauma), and held at gunpoint in Brazil at 20, where I was born- and I'm a really careful traveler. I love Guatemala, but I hear Honduras is even worse!
I'll check out the northern routes. Any more info on that? Thanks!
