On an afternoon just like many before it, Brad Van Orden sat at his desk.
With Drive Nacho Drive, the Van Ordens deliver a thoughtful, hilarious, and mouthwatering depiction of adventure and misadventure on the Pan-American highway-one that will leave you simultaneously shaking your head and holding your sides, while asking yourself, isn\'t there more to life than this?.
Whether negotiating cliff-hanging roads in rebel territory, getting caught illegally smuggling a transmission in a suitcase over international lines, mounting a stealth mission to steal Nacho back from a deranged Colombian auto dismantler, or clinging to the side of a vegetable truck while descending a 16,000 foot Andean pass, there seems to be no limit to the predicaments that these two can get themselves into.
As a result of questionable decision-making skills and intermittent bad luck, Brad and Sheena repeatedly find themselves in over their heads.
Drive Nacho Drive tells the hilarious and sometimes harrowing story of what happens when Brad and Sheena Van Orden trade in the American Dream for a year on the roads of Central and South America aboard "Nacho," their quirky and somewhat temperamental Volkswagen van.
What if we just dropped everything and left? Isn\'t there more to life than this? He messaged his wife with a question: "Want to do this?," to which she immediately responded: "Yes " They clearly had no idea what they were getting themselves into.
When a coworker meandered past his window, Brad succumbed to an impulse and blurted out the most outlandish thing he could think of-"Hey Steve, let\'s Drive your hippie bus to Tierra del Fuego." This prompted Steve\'s halfhearted response: "I don\'t think so." But this got Brad thinking.
