You could say that the book is an unnecessary act of self-indulgence by an egotist who shirks life’s responsibilities, drinks too much and thinks too little. He seems like the kind of guy who visits a morgue afterhours to peel apart chilled corpses and sew the skin together into human pyjamas, which he later sells online with the tagline: 'The Epidermis You Want to Be In.

Our Spanish was patchy at best and we travelled with a backpacker from Andorra for part of the trip who helped us navigate our way through El Salvador. Paul wrote this book for the people who want to experience something different, who drink because they enjoy it, and whose life plans begin as incoherent scrawls on the back of a dive bar napkin.We had originally planned to visit Cuba and travel along the Caribbean coast of central America but due to some massive hurricanes, we ditched that idea and instead travelled along more of the Pacific coast which attracts less tourists. Today, you can often find Paul with bags under his eyes, scrolling through his phone absently looking for international flight sales as his young children test the boundaries of physical and personal safety on playground equipment in Melbourne’s inner-west.

So I guess it was inevitable that I would eventually end up writing a book about the consequences of those choices. We travelled for days to an out-of-the way beachside town in Costa Rica to visit a friend who was studying Spanish.There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
