  Although I went to bed late, or early from the next day, I asked for a wake up call at 7:30am in order to go to the gym.   This was our last day in Buenos Aires. We were leaving the country at 4pm in order to fly to Santa Cruz. Happily it was our free day too. Now it was the opportun…

So, I had the deep desire to travel to Iguazu Falls, but none of my friends in Buenos Aires could join me.  Being the adventurous spirit that I am, I decided it was time to finally take my 1st solo trip.  I bought a plane ticket and booked a hotel in Puerto Iguazu for 3 days.  …

Seriously, why aren´t we all living in this city? We love Buenos Aires. We decided to rent out a sexy-arse apartment for a month, to enbrace this cosmopolitan  city that never seems to sleep.  It has been fantastic to shove the backpacks in the back of the wardrobe, and to not have…

Clean and fun crowd hostel, wild pubcrawl in Buenos Aires. Then fly to Uruguay for two nights. Driving around the costal road from Montevideo to Punta Del Este, where jetsetters from Argentina and Brazil come in for summer months and party, party, party. Punta del Este is like a glamorous resort with impressive modern high rise hotels and appartment blocks right on the beach front.

During this warm season, I found some people were just lying on the hotel swimming pool for relaxation. But this was not my travel style. I only wanted to explore more about this amazing city. Finished my breakfast, I was ready to go.   Puerto Madero is a great place. It's a wonde…

Arrived into Buenos Aires very bleery eyed after an early morning flight on three hours sleep. We had a great night last night so I can´t complain too much. We got to the hostel which is a lovely house just out of San Telmo and were immediately told to head down to the Sunday San Telmo markets whi…

Buenos Aires is a city with a lot to offer, as any backpacker you meet will tell you. Ever since Argentina`s economy collapsed in 2000, it`s been a cheap, accessible place to visit with great food, shopping and nightlife. So I was looking forward to this city of wonders (especially for the steak), …

Today while out and about, we stumbled onto Tierra Santa and I was thrilled as this religious themepark was on my list! We stopped to chat with the sheppard and their sheep. It was closed so we took photos from the fence, really that was close enough.For lunch I tried the typical blood sausage and …

In the morning an off road trip starting from Ushuaia. We did have fun :-)) In the afternoon a domestic flight from Ushuaia to Buenos Aires, where we spent a nice, warm evening saying goodbye to part of our group. Not all of us were going to Iguacu - Brasil.

I got out of bed today at 3:00 in the afternoon. Never in my life have I done such a thing. It`s official. I`ve blended into my surroundings. I`ve been hanging with my Argentine friends a good bit lately. The entire time I speak castellano. I think my level has advanced double in the past tw…

Welcome to my Travel Blog. I will be travelling from Vancouver on the 16th of April with a short stopover in Santa Barbara then on to Guatemala on April 19th and then by land south to Argentina and flying out of Rio de Janeiro Brazil on August 27th.

After 2 months travelling through South America, I really haven't picked up many souvenirs.  Partly because I've wanted to travel light, and partly because souvenirs (at least in the little trinket form) seem to just sit in a box or maybe a shelf at home and don't hold a lot of sentimental val…

I'm ready(estoy lista). I can feel that it's time for me to come home. I have definitely enjoyed my time spent here, but I'm ready to see some familiar faces. I think that for my first trip abroad that this was the perfect length. I just got used to everything. I know where I am, what I like here, …

Let's see, I moved in to the residence on the 4th, and it is now the what 19th. Well I have done alot in that time, mainly a lot of drinking...but it was all necessary to do. I have a wonderful roommate, her name is Elise and she's from Tennessee...actually there are quite a few people from my prog…
