Western Europe was officially upon me, along with the inevitable price hike that comes with being in Europe in the summertime. Living like a king and basking in the affordability of Latin America was over, made evident by my first pint purchase in Montmarte: $16:50 AUD. This was my fourth time in Paris—a city …
I only spent 1 night in Sao Paulo on my way to Rio due to many people highly recommending it as a place to skip. Exhausted from the night bus, I barely did anything there. The next day, I finally arrived in Rio, where I planned to spend five nights before jetting off to Paris. …
My new Australian friend and I caught an early flight to Iguazu, eager to see the famous falls that same day. After a quick check-in at our hostel and a short taxi ride, we were off to witness one of the great natural wonders of the world. Iguazu Falls, straddling the border between Argentina …
I think I could live in Buenos Aires. I’ve visited some amazing places in the last 6 months but there’s very few I think I could say that to. Buenos Aires had everything: amazing food, a nightlife for any day of the week, an incredible football culture and warm, welcoming locals. This was it …
*Some shorter entries as I try to complete the series before Paris. At Rio airport right now as I write this. Got to give the people what they want!!!* Argentina was one of my most anticipated countries to visit prior to this trip. Steak, wine, football – you can’t really go wrong. Salta …
A majority of the day was spent on the bus to Chile. Chile is the only place in South America where Australians need a visa to enter which for whatever reason is an unnecessarily expensive and complicated task. I arrived at the border and got stamped out of Bolivia on my Australian passport before …
Its true that some of the best stories and experiences are the ones that come unexpectedly. I arrived in La Paz, the highest capital city in the world at 3640m, and embarked on exploring the city. I ventured the streets and cable cars before heading to San Pedro prison, a place made famous by …
The last few days in Cusco, after completing the Inca Trail, were predictably spent enjoying the revels of having completed such a trek and rewarding myself with some beers. It was nice to relax and rest for a little bit before venturing onto Bolivia. The day before my Bolivia adventure, the news filtered through …
This post is dedicated to my 2 American friends that I met on the Inca trail: Ralph Jnr and Helena. After an introductory meeting the night before—an event I was later informed I’d unintentionally left early at—the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu was finally upon me. With only 500 permits issued per day (including …
After an extended stay in Colombia due to being sick, my dash through Peru to reach Cusco in time for the Inca Trail was on. Lima: Lima, Peru’s capital, is often just an airport stopover for many as they venture on to other parts of the country. I spent 2 nights here and really …
