Six months. One backpack. A continent crossed by bus.
Buses and Backpacks is a travel memoir about moving slowly through South America—by overnight buses, shared kitchens, and conversations that don't always land in the right language. Along the way, Mai González navigates the quiet realities of long-term travel: exhaustion and awe, cultural missteps, unexpected kindness, and the strange intimacy of being welcomed into other people's lives.
This isn't a checklist of highlights or a race bet...
