planthelper Posted September 17, 2009 i would like to find out if any of you would be interessted to join me in peru or somewher similar and to explore and research south america together. i have been there once, many years ago and forgot most of my spanish. i guess i would not like to travell there alone, we could try to bring back diplos and other stuff if your country allowes this. australien members are wellcommed to join, but should not attempt to bring back any veg matter into there country. any members with a wish list please let us know what we should hunt down, one of my top plants would be, Urmenetea atacamnensis ~ "Coca del Suri". anyway, whats your thoughts? i am quite serious and got the money saved up already.

Yawning Man Posted September 19, 2009 Hmm at the moment the earliest i could get overseas will be roughly this time next year. So doubt you'd wanna wait a whole year lole. How long are you going to be over there? What countries ya gonna go to? Will you be backpacking? Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GingaNinja Posted September 19, 2009 Im hoping things come together in December and I make it to Sth America, but if so I will be focusing on ecuador this time round. however is someone is over that way at that time it would be cool to meet up with other plant freaks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Illustro Posted September 19, 2009 Coca del Suri? Have you managed to find out any more info on this plant? Sounds interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FancyPants Posted September 19, 2009 (edited) and a Kukri machete! If I were a dude I'd be getting a full on chubby at the picture of that machete. I really badly want to go to South America. I have a good friend whose family emigrated to Australia from Argentina in the eighties so she'd be the person I'd want to do that with, alas we're rebuilding a friendship and trips to SA aren't on the agenda just yet.

planthelper Posted September 19, 2009 well one advantage is that i have been there already once and know how to play it save over there. forget the fancy machete teotz as by carrying nice stuff one makes onselfe right away the target of crimes. yes i would backpack. fancypants with your connections in argentina and my motivation to help a person in a chair to see the world, we might be able to work something out. i guess everything needs good planing and once we have a plan with good structure, the feeling of now we should go will pull us all thru. i would not attempt to track down too many different things teotz, but rather just try to track down a few of them. there are quite a few members here who have been travelling to sa not too long ago and there are maybe a few even living there. a good source for ethnos would be aswell the shaman markets like for example the mercado de modello in chiclayo (all from long memory, i might be wrong) but i saw once there an 11 or 12 ripped pedro for sale. anyway there is no rush, tranquillo hombres.

Teotzlcoatl Posted September 19, 2009 i would not attempt to track down too many different things teotz, but rather just try to track down a few of them. Ya I know, I'd only focus on 2-3 of those plants if I went. Just make sure you get Virola and Diplopterys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devance Posted September 20, 2009 http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2009-08...alth-care_N.htm I brought back 12 teeth capped and well done. [20years ago] Well done, as silver not gold but doing well. Thinking of moving permanently South of the U.S. border as a with enough money. Was thinking of Canada. But I can buy alot of desert for the sames money[no water]. If I do its 20$ a liter for water, the gasoline is free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thelema Posted September 21, 2009 Hmm being in the middle of an unknown continent with you and your machete, rabidly waving around your "purpose" list sounds like it would be a little...stressful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
