Where do I begin? Bili and I arrived on a Sunday, we met our newfound Chilean amiga, and they both stayed until the next Sunday when we split. I stayed another week. Oh, glorious Cartagena. My days were spent going to various beaches, soaking ... Read more >

Medellin. A city shadowed by a history of drugs and corruption. A city progressing and overcoming, yet still slightly tainted. A city full of life, an exuberant nightlife, beautiful women, implants and epic street food.
We stayed ... Read more >

This is the part of my trip where I fall head over heals in love with the world. Perhaps it's this beautiful country with undertones of dark history and an apparent honesty in the people about their country's past with no attempt to sugarcoat it, yet ... Read more >

After my lovely rejuvination period in the desert I got a bus back to Lima and planned to do absolutely nothing but read, sleep and cuddle with the hostel cat but the universe had other plans for me. :) I stayed in the 4-bed girl's dorm for the third ... Read more >

Another pleasant night bus sitting next to a mother and her small fidgetting, noisy child. Oh night buses. I listened to my instincts this time and went to the desert. The desert is where my heart is. I don´t know what it is about deserts but I ... Read more >

After a few days of rest in Lima, post-fun with Nate, I got myself on a night bus to Arequipa. It was a pleasant 15 hours of windy roads in the mountains, nausea, a tiny Peruvian man sleeping half on top of me and snoring in my ear, and two shitty meals.... Read more >

During the last two days in Santa Cruz, Jen and I went to a water hole where you can jump from a cliff into the water. Unfortunately, it was packed full of people and I nearly sprained my ankle on the rocks. This resulted in a hot limp for a day and ... Read more >

So let me first just say, everyday that I wake up here I think to myself, "How f***ing lucky am I?!" It's that amazing. Whatever visions you have of this place, if you've never been...it's a million times more amazing than that. Truth. If you've been, ... Read more >

Wow it's been a while. So much has happened since I left Argentina. What a life!

Ahhhh Buenos Aires. So week 2 of classes down, and I learned some past tense finally! I think I'm actually starting to kind of get the language in my head...just need to be practicing more. I decided not to do a third week though, because I'm a little ... Read more >
ARGENTINA | Sunday, 24 Feb 2013 | Views [402]
So one week down of classes. My brain hurts a little. I have so much respect for anyone who has managed to learn a second language, and I'm just rediculousloy envious of those who have learned 3 or more. All those Europeans who speak 4 or 5 languages ... Read more >

Back in BA, Jen and I stayed at a hostel that had a wonderful staff but no AC or even a fan, aweful beds that squeak every inch you move and boards that stick in your back, and some rather strange characters. One guy in our room was about 65 years old, ... Read more >

Back to Chile for a week. I flew from chilly La Paz to warm Santiago on a bus plane. We landed two times before finally reaching Santiago and went through customs on the first stop in Chile - Arica. I suppose that´s why you get such a good price.... Read more >
BOLIVIA | Monday, 14 Jan 2013 | Views [999]
Bolivia! So I felt spontaneous and decided to make my way up north. I have been traveling the whole time with an Israeli guy I met at the hostel in Salta. We took the night bus to La Qiaca, were dropped off around 6am in the dark without a clue. We followed ... Read more >
