Hanoi

A whole new country. A whole new continent, literally on the other side of the world. A whole new set of adventures. We shared a cab to our Hostel with Astrid and Helena, two gals Cam had met in the Doha airport doing yoga. It turned out we all had the exact same destination, making …

South American Thoughts

As I write this, we are in a curtesy hotel in Doha, Qatar. Major complications (flight cancellation’s) with our travel to Vietnam put us here, where we’ve just had a delightful complimentary Arabian buffet. This surprise pause in the trip gives us time to reflect on the five months we spent in South America. It …

Sao Paulo

This mega-city is the largest in South America. And somewhat fitting, as it is our final stop in the continent. It was a bittersweet time here, saying goodbye to the land we spent just over 5 months on. Getting here was a bit of a challenge. The 6 hour bus from Rio de Janiero took …

Rio de Janiero: 2024

The last night of 2023 was spent at the hotel for New Year’s Eve. In Brazil, it is custom to wear white on the evening, to honor a water goddess, Lemanja.

Argentina & Chile Recap

Between these two countries, we spent a wild 7 weeks in the southern section of the continent. These two countries had a very distinct feel compared to the Andean countries we had been visiting previous. Historically, Chile and Argentina have a much more European population compared to Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia, which is probably the …

Porto Iguazu

One of the most powerful waterfalls in the world are the Iguazu falls, a massive cascade that sits on the Argentine-Brazilian border. We decided to check them out from Argentina first. Our first day in Porto Iguazu was supposed to be a relaxation one, but it ended up being somewhat nonsensical. We needed to get …

Buenos Aires (Again)

Short and sweet, we had two quick nights in Buenos Aires. We spent them relaxing and recovering as much as possible, and running a couple quick errands. The vibe was different this time though. Last time we were in BA, Javier Milei had just been elected as the new president of Argentina. He promised sweeping …
