My name is Amelie, I am 18 years old and about to do something- as my family describes it- crazy... I am going to attempt the Panamericana with a backpack. After I graduated in 2017 I realised that I need to explore the world rather than start university directly. It took me one year to save enough money, I am truly happy to finally quit my full-time job as a waitress, and to work out this plan which basically just consists of the starting point-Seattle and Buenos Aires - the city from which I will hopefully fly back home. In the meantime I hope to learn as much as possible about myself, the people and the country's I am going to visit. So far so good- that's what I do.
