Sam and I took the bike ride down the most dangerous road in the world that we were supposed to do several days earlier with Rochelle and Gabe before I got sick. We started about an hour outside La Paz and descended more than 3,600m (11,800ft)in about ... Read more >

Upon arriving in La Paz, I immediately hated the city. It is a loud, polluted, crowded city. Sam, Rochelle, Gabe (a newbie to our group from Alaska), and I got settled into a hostel and took a nap because none of us really got much sleep on the overnight ... Read more >

We got to the city of Sucre and Rochelle, Sam and I felt as though we were in some other country. Sucre is the other capital of Bolivia and it is large and busy like any other type of capital city, except that Sucre is completely whitewashed and clean ... Read more >

After Uyuni, Rochelle, Sam, Jesse, Pascale and I all went to Potosi. The bus ride was not so nice, but it gave us a preview of what was to come. Potosi is the highest city in the world at 4 thousand something meters. So, when we got there at about ... Read more >

So, I know that I have missed a whole bunch of my trip... like a month through Argentina and Chile, but I wanted to write about stuff happening now. I´m am currently in La Paz, Bolivia... not for too long though because I´m not such a big fan. I´ve ... Read more >

The next morning, I took a bus to El Calafate and back to some more civilization. Alissa was on the same bus and we ended up talking just about the whole time up. El Calafate is a beautiful, but really touristy and expensive town. I stayed in ... Read more >

From Ushuaia, I went to Punta Arenas, Chile with a couple of people I met from my hostel. There wasn´t a whole lot going on in Punta Arenas, but we made some more friends and increased our traveling group to five. Our group was somewhat eccentric..... Read more >

So, I didn´t realize that it has been about a month since my last entry! I´ve been down to the end of the world and back again in that time and have lots to tell... Ushuaia is a beautiful city with lots to offer. It took me about 30 hours to get there ... Read more >

After my experience in Viedma, which probably wouldn´t have been so bad if I hadn´t had steady company for a little while, I went to Puerto Madryn to check out the sea lions and penguins! The day I got to my hostel, I met a german girl who was going ... Read more >

Now, don´t get me wrong... I really enjoy going off the beaten track a little and experiencing things that other people don´t, but I was sad after Jeff left. I was all by myself again and leaving everything somewhat familiar all over again and I didn´t ... Read more >

Monday, March 17th, we had a flight from Buenos Aires to Mendoza. For some really strange reason, there are no direct flights from Buenos Aires to Mendoza, so we had to fly to Santiago first. We arrived in Santiago and had plenty of time before our ... Read more >

I finally made it back to BsAs at about 8AM to find that my friend Jeff had just arrived before me. His South American adventures had already begun. He lost his passport within an hour of being in Argentina. So, we began the day with some breakfast ... Read more >

I left the next day to go back to Buenos Aires and catch a ferry to Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay. I thought the trip to Iguazu was long, but this one was almost unbearable. The bus ride back to BA was almost 19 hours long. Luckily, the ferry ride ... Read more >

The bus ride to Iguazu was looooooong, but entirely worth every hour. I arrived in Puerto Iguazu in the mid morning and took a taxi ride out to my hostel. I wasn´t too happy about being so far away from the town and the bus station, but EVERYONE told ... Read more >

Alright, I know I have a lot of updating to do. Mom, keeps telling me. :) I've really just been so busy moving all over the place, I don't have too much time to write too much stuff. I think I left off at Cordoba and I have been to so many wonderful ... Read more >

This is only my third time trying to write this entry and it may end up being a whole novel because I have to keep adding things to it! Anyway, I am now in Montevideo, Uruguay. I haven´t checked out the city just yet, but the views from my bus look ... Read more >

So, I´ve covered a little bit of ground since my last entry... hence the long period of time between entries. My last days in Buenos Aires I did a lotta stuff. I took two tango lessons (tango here is different than in the US so that was interesting).... Read more >

So... things are definitely different from my last trip. So far, I love South America. The people seem to be pretty cool, the city is absolutely gorgeous in most parts and I have had some really great experiences so far. I think the greatest difference ... Read more >
