About Trans-Americas Journey

Trans-Americas Journey is the longrunning road-trip blog of writer Karen Catchpole and photographer Eric Mohl, who left New York in 2006 and have traveled the Americas full time ever since. They freelance for major travel publications and publish independent guides, destination features, gear notes and photo essays on their site. The archive is substantial, with more than 1,200 posts in the sitemap and entries dating back to 2009, and the project includes factual pages about miles driven, countries visited and their truck. Posts routinely showcase their own photography alongside practical trip advice for North, Central and South America.

A road-trip chronicle with the feel of a well-reported travel documentary, Trans-Americas Journey reads like two professionals who have been living the story for years. The prose is journalistically crisp, often accompanied by strong photography from Eric and hands-on, usable detail from Karen, so you get both atmosphere and logistics. The site shines for longform destination guides, photo essays and nuts-and-bolts road-trip reporting, and you can see they still publish regularly in 2026 across city guides, park writeups and gear pieces. If you want field-tested, continent-spanning road-trip notes and evocative images, this is a peerless single-resource for travelling the Americas.
