Who We Are & What We’re Doing

Who We Are

We are writer Karen Catchpole and photographer Eric Mohl and we believe travel journalists should travel. In 2006 we left our jobs and apartment in New York City and embarked on our Trans-Americas Journey working road trip through the Americas. We’ve been on the road through North, Central and South America full time ever since. We freelance from the road and we produce the Trans-Americas Journey travel blog.

Meet Us

What We're Doing

In 2006 we got in a truck and started exploring our own vast backyard—the Americas. We wanted to better understand how we fit in with our continental neighbors, all of whom are also American by the way (which explains the “s” after America in our name). Our goal is to make the Trans-Americas Journey the ultimate independent road trip through the Americas and to inspire you to travel in North, Central, and South America too.
