    Gregg Blakey and Brooks Menken biked from Alaska to Argentina over a period of two years, traveling over 30,500 kilometers (19,000 miles) through 12 countries. They saved money for years to fund the trip, during which they camped outdoors or stayed in hostels, relying on local people's hospitality for food and lodging along the way. After reaching Ushuaia, Argentina, the southernmost city in the world, Brooks returned to the US while Gregg continued solo. The trip taught them valuable lessons about travel, including to pack light and travel politely while immersed in other cultures.
