The paranoia files (Drive Day 1 minus 14 years and 33 days)

Posted on May 29, 2017 Updated on May 3, 2017

 I’m nerdly proud of my official researcher’s card at the Library of Congress. It’s where I go after work to look up everything ever written about each country along the route of my upcoming road trip down the Pan-American highway. Why? Because my parents did the same trip with no preparation and I became a seven-year-old stowaway through revolutions, coups and civil wars.

I’m dividing my findings into scary shit that happened 1973 and just-as-scary files for 2003. I won’t be caught off guard again.

Follow this bonus-material blog and ride along on a one-year road trip that inspired the memoir The Drive: Searching for Lost Memories on the Pan American Highway. On sale June 13th.
