All the other birds are migrating south My life of excess has come to a halt. I’m making my own yellow brick road in The Americas. Here’s hoping The Wizard of Oz has a better answer for me than a pair of shiny red slippers

An image says....

BRAZIL | Wednesday, 2 Mar 2011 | Views [458] | Comments [4]

Blogging can become very tedious on a hot sunny day. I find myself constantly distracted from the task at hand and have decided today it would be alot easier to take photos instead. Obiovously I'm not gonna post all of my photos but here's a few that ... Read more >

Words from the wise

BRAZIL | Monday, 28 Feb 2011 | Views [408]

Seems like I'm on a bit of a writing streak. Which is a nice change from being hungover. Before I left I did all my research about South America, travelling alone, the dangers and annoyances etc. Now I've been doing it for a few weeks I think I'm getting ... Read more >


Sunday roast

BRAZIL | Monday, 28 Feb 2011 | Views [400]

Okay it wasn't a roast and it wasn't Sunday. But I had a home cooked meal and sat around the family dinner table with my new rainbow family; two Argentinians, two Chileans, two Australians, an Italian and me (beat that Branglina). We had tuna pasta ... Read more >


Boys, boys, boys

BRAZIL | Friday, 25 Feb 2011 | Views [722] | Comments [5]

Okay the last story was a bit random. Guess I just needed to get it off my chest. Everyone's been asking about sexcapades. Touchy subject as my parents and grandmother are reading this. But, hey, I'll try my best. After all, I am a single, 26 year ... Read more >


Sticky situation

ARGENTINA | Wednesday, 23 Feb 2011 | Views [363] | Comments [4]

So after nearly three weeks I'm finally getting my head around this toilet situation. See, I got used to the Thai way quickly but something disturbs me about the S.A way. See, you can't flush anything down the loo. I always like to have a barrier between ... Read more >


The honeymoon is over

ARGENTINA | Wednesday, 23 Feb 2011 | Views [408] | Comments [2]

What a downer day. Firstly, the 19-hour bus ride was shit. No food, drinks, pillow, blanket or anything. And dirty. It was freezing and I didn't get any sleep. Then while I was on my way to saving $45 by catching the local bus instead of a taxi I left ... Read more >


The early bird always gets its worm

ARGENTINA | Sunday, 20 Feb 2011 | Views [614] | Comments [3]

Firstly WOW, OMG & WTF. Foz de Iguazu was everything I hoped for and more. I got some good photos and footage. One day I´m sure someone else will get to see them. I´m off to the Argentina side today. And am planning to jump on a speed boat to the ... Read more >


1/4 way mark

ARGENTINA | Sunday, 20 Feb 2011 | Views [370] | Comments [2]

There´s not much else to do on a 21-hour bus ride than sleep, daydream and eat, and I've realised I´m at the 1/4 way mark (of my South American trip, anyway). Sheesh, time has really flown. Anyway, I made it to my 3-star resort in Igauzu. This is ... Read more >


Roaring Iguazu

ARGENTINA | Saturday, 19 Feb 2011 | Views [375] | Comments [1]

The time has arrived for the highlight of my Argentinian trip. Iguazu Falls, one of the natural wonders of the world. The first time I saw a picture of the falls I thought they were some CGI image from a movie. Now I´m here I´ve heard some many great ... Read more >


A blog a day keeps the oles happy

ARGENTINA | Friday, 18 Feb 2011 | Views [390]

Here goes. I´m gonna try writing a little every day. Of course it´ll be impossible some days, but I do tend to miss alot of details if I write only every few days. At the moment I have two published writers reading my blog. No pressure or anything.... Read more >


Argentina 101

ARGENTINA | Thursday, 17 Feb 2011 | Views [794] | Comments [5]

I have a few things to say. 1. When people say Agentinians love their steak it's an understatement. I´ve never eaten so much meat in my life! And because I don't want to be rude I say 'si' every time I´m asked if I want any more. It is really good ... Read more >


I left my heart in Mendoza

ARGENTINA | Tuesday, 15 Feb 2011 | Views [393]

Happy one week aniversary to me. I havent been doing this travel thing very long but it's getting harder to say goodbye to people. I guess because we´re all away from home it's easier to form bonds. Mendoza's been great. It's right beside the Andes ... Read more >


Life´s tough

ARGENTINA | Friday, 11 Feb 2011 | Views [371]

I´m in a constant state of drunkenness and hung-overness, and passed on the Spanish lessons because I´m too hungover to learn anything. I´ll regret this decision very much. This lifestyle can´t last very long! We dont go out til 2am around here ... Read more >


Round one. Ding ding

ARGENTINA | Tuesday, 8 Feb 2011 | Views [406]

Well it was a terrible start to the trip. Delayed by two days and, to my amazement, I had nothing to do. I was completely organised. The Palmy weather obviously didn´t want me to go. The fog around the airport refused to shift which caused me to ... Read more >
