Gossip On My Travel Companions

  • Michelle is the tour leader. I´ll have a separate blog entry just on her. Not a great tour leader.
  • Adi is the training tour leader for this trip. She has worked for Gap for about 4 months in Peru. Loves her job. A Jewish American, raised in California. Psychology degree....but wanted to travel before she started applying her degree and applied to Gap on a whim and got the job.
  • Erica. My roommate. Late 20´s. Irish, but living in London. Criminal Lawyer, who just got accepted into the British Air Force.... she has to sign up for 6 years, and seeing as she loves her boyfriend Warwick of 3 years (never spent a day apart, other than this trip...she has been gone for about 2 months so far...she did the Peru trip and climbed the Inca Trail) and they want to have babies, she will not be signing up.
  • Gabrielle. My roommate for the first night. Mid 30´s. Part Italian and Irish, and third generation Australian. In the music industry....has been travelling for a few months already....South America.
  • Claire. Mid 30´s. British. Social Worker.....quit her job, divorced her husband and has been travelling for over 6 months so far.
  • Tracy. Early 30´s. Canadian (New Brunswick). Took 2 months off her consulting job and is travelling all the way to Mexico with Gap and then hanging out with her parents at some resort.
  • Petria. Late 30´s. Eastern Germany. Nurse. Travelling forever.
  • Wayne & Katrina. Early 30´s. Australian. Coppers (Police Officers for us Canadians)
  • Steven & Herbie. Late 20´s. Irish. Pharmacists. Travelling for almost 1 year. Herbie is East Indian. Her parents are very strict and have no idea she is going out with an Irish Catholic and is also travelling with him. They are Hindu.
  • Emma and Martika. Mid 30´s. Australian. HR Manager and Accountant. Both quit their jobs to travel..boyfriends back home and just having fun.

I´ll update this blog at the end of the trip.
