Many people dream of going on a great USA travel adventure. Most of us keep dreaming; others ____▲____.

Gregg Bleakney’s dream was to travel the Americas from top to bottom. He got the idea after he finished a 1,600-kilometer bike ride. Gregg’s friend, Brooks Allen, was also a cyclist. The two friends talked and decided their goal (目标): they would travel from Alaska to Argentina by bike.

To pay for the journey, Gregg and Brooks worked and saved money for years. Once they were on road, they often camped outdoors or stayed in rest houses. In many places along their journey, local people opened their homes to the two friends and gave them food.

During their trip, Gregg and Brooks cycled through desert, rainforest, and mountains. Two years, twelve countries, and over 30, 500 km later—Gregg finally reached Ushuaia, Argentina, at the top of South America.(Near Guatemala, Brooks had to return to the U.S. and Gregg continued without him.)

Gregg and Brooks kept a record of their adventures in an online blog. The trip taught both men a lot about travelling.

Here is some of Gregg’s advice:

Travel light. The fewer things you have, the less you’ll worry about.

Be flexible. Don’t plan everything, then you’ll be more relaxed and happy.

Be polite. As one traveler told Gregg, “Always remember that nobody wants to fight, cheat, or rob a nice guy.”
