César and friends, buenos Aires, Argentina, Aug 18, 2018

Buenos Aires was my last major destination in the Americas. By giving up on other smaller regions of interest, I could manage to spend a week in Buenos Aires. Aside from the light sickness for the first couple days, there were logistical things to get done to migrate from South America to Europe for both …

Parrilla Libre El Fogón, Gualeguaychú, Entre Rios, Argentina, August 19, 2018

On my birthday, I spent the whole day with my best travel companion, my car. I drove from Gualeguaychú to Montevideo, about 350 kilometers or 6 hours. It might just be the tradition of my family, but we do not have a strong culture of celebrating birthdays. So I did not feel particularly lonely being …

A Spontaneous Bike Ride @Corrientes, Argentina, May 27, 2018

To me, Corrientes seemed quite similar to Asuncion. Not only did the streets look alike, but people used some Guarani words and ate Chipa. I tried but it was a bit hard to appreciate Corrientes as Corrientes because I was already overwhelmed the excitement about getting to Paraguay in a couple days. But I was …

Hitchhikers @Tilcara, Jujuy, Argentina, May 22, 2018

Now you know that I’m driving but when I was preparing for this trip, I was reviewing different modes of transportation and hitchhiking was actually one of the options. I remember reading several posts by hitchhiking travelers and thinking about the pros and cons. I haven’t done much hitchhiking but I assume it’s usually a …
