Hi. I'm Tracy Jo.

In 2023, my marriage ended, my life imploded, and I did what any rational person would do: I bought a 40-foot school bus. I gutted it and converted it into a home with my own two hands, a lot of YouTube tutorials, and a North Carolina winter. I named her Pachamama. Then I pointed her south. The plan: drive from North Carolina to Argentina via the Pan-American Highway. Solo. I'm a surfer, a bass player of questionable skill, a Senior NetSuite Consultant by day, and a firm believer that fear is a compass. This site is the whole story — the build, the breakdowns, the waves, and the long road south.
