Coby and Alita, the Wander With Me globetrotting duo, transmitted another dispatch from their South American adventures. While cajoling their trusted Land Cruiser along dirt thoroughfares and trekking through Columbian mountains, Colby and Alita focused on the simple joys of the traveler. Active Junky’s paired their photographs with quotes from literature’s most adventurous, bizarre and well-traveled authors.

"I felt like lying down by the side of the trail and remembering it all. The woods do that to you, they always look familiar, long lost, like the face of a long-dead relative, like an old dream, like a piece of forgotten song drifting across the water, most of all like golden eternities of past childhood or past manhood and all the living and the dying and the heartbreak that went on a million years ago and the clouds as they pass overhead seem to testify (by their own lonesome familiarity) to this feeling." - Jack Kerouac
"He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature." - Socrates
