The Mission
At Tales of the Pan American Highway I feel very strongly about learning, exploring, understanding and giving back to the communities I will encounter while on Expedition. Environmental awareness, cultural exchange and volunteering are the three pillar stones of the expedition. Stories of the people met, and how their lives are affected by their environment. I’ll participate in a cultural exchanges to understand their way of living, and also volunteer. Check this page often for updates as I begin the journey to Central and South America.
Mission Statement
Environmental
- We will conduct environmental studies for understanding human relationships, perceptions and policies towards the environment.
- These studies will consist of interviewing , documenting, recording and reporting on environmental issues that affect the local population. Whether it’s air, water or soil quality, we’ll get a true picture of what is happening and what is being done, should be done and can be accomplished for the future.
Cultural exchange
- To understand different cultures such as the Aztec, Mayan, and Inca. I will highlight the similarities and diversity to dispel stereotypes and misunderstanding.
- To foster goodwill, harmony and peace.
Volunteering
- We will volunteer our time and skilled services as we deemed needed.
- Orphanages
- Under privileged Schools
- Endangered animal conservation efforts

We are heading to Central America from here. You are here in the city?
Hi, I saw your post about Mexico City written in December 2012. Are you still on your way south from there, or headed back north? We are in El Tule, Oaxaca and have a small campground that you’d be welcome to stay at! Our website is http://www.overlanderoasis.com check it out!
Thanks, we are back in Georgia and will be leaving again for Belize in March or April. We wold love to check out you place then. do you have a Facebook page?
Sure do! http://www.facebook.com/OverlanderOasis?ref=ts&fref=ts Please “like” us! Also, do you know about the Muskoka Foundation? They are all about volunteering along the overland route, see http://www.themuskokafoundation.org/
Well, now I’m confused. I see further posts in February 2013 from the Yucatan… so have you bypassed us? Or is this your scouting expedition before the main event in March/April? Keep in touch, we’d enjoy meeting like-minded overlanders and hearing about your adventures.
