Expedition Trip Details

This is the story of a Latin woman her gringo husband and the whole wide world. Amanda & Richard Ligato decided to leave their hum-drum everyday routine and set out beyond their world where life felt a little too guaranteed insured and sealed for their own protection.Leaving behind all the mind numbing comforts of home and the security of the familiar they embarked on a three year overland trip in their 1970s hippie-van with the goal of discovering first-hand how others find joy in life. The experience changed them forever.Upon completing their expedition the couple settled in Southern Africa where they compiled a book chronicling their most outrageous travel tales and the lessons learned on this incredible journey.
