Hello

My name is Amber and next year I'm strating my Charity project in South Amerika.

I'm looking for people to help me out with some info. I'm from Europe so it's really difficult to find all the information online. I'm thinking of buying a bus or mobilehome to drive around SouthAmerica. I hear Chile is the best option to buy a car but I also heard that buying it in North America and let it ship to South America. 

What is the easiest when it comes to paperwork?
What is the cheapest, or does anybody have another idea?
