In 2002, with nothing but 2000 miles of ocean and 22,000 miles of ground between himself and New York, Christoph Bangert started the trip of his life.Flying from Dortmund, Germany to Buenos Aires, Argentina was the first step in the sixmonth journey that took Bangert over two continents, across the borders of 14 countries, through numerous mountain ranges and over countless bodies of water, and finally to his new home in Brooklyn. He made this astounding trip with little more than a camera and a Land Rover, his wits and perseverance. The result, Travel Notes: 22 Thousand Miles Across the Americas, is an astounding compendium of visual and written documentation of his remarkable expedition.We travel with Bangert through the political upheaval in Argentinas capital, drive with him across the seemingly endless landscapes of Patagonia, spend a freezing cold night at the southernmost tip of the Americas on Tierra del Fuego, and climb the snowcapped Andes. After crossing the Atacama desert, we get stuck with him in the deep mud of a Bolivian salt flat, where after two days he is rescued from a hopeless situation by a freight train. We are at his side as he almost drowns inside his Land Rover while crossing Lake Titikaka on a wooden barge, and stand breathless with him in front of the Inca ruins of Machu Picchu. In Peru and Ecuador, we follow him up the famed PanAmerican Highway, doing what he loves to do the most: drive. We visit every single country in Central America, discovering great poverty and an equal amount of beauty. In Mexico we find Aztec ruins and American tourists. In the United States, we experience the shock of reentry into a developed economy and the majesty of the countrys vast landscape, and finally, after an exhausting journey, we feel the joy and triumph of arrival in New York City. Cataloging Bangerts trials, tribulations, and wild successes, Travel Notes is the ultimate road trip.
