Couple from Mainz travels Pan-American Highway for a year
© merkurist.de

Markus and Yasmine from Mainz set off on the Pan-American Highway in April last year. They have covered about 63,000 km, visiting the USA, Mexico, Central America, and reaching Panama. Due to inflation, travel costs exceed their budget, so they try to save money without sacrificing enjoyment, occasionally staying in hotels. Key challenges include lack of privacy in their camper van and homesickness for family and friends.
