I had the pleasure to meet this guy again in Rosario. I met Nahuel for the first time in Panama City back in February. I was glad to catch up with him in his home country, Argentina, and almost in his hometown, Rosario, while getting to meet his sister and aunt as well. When I …
The first people that I met in Uruguay were actually a couple from Argentina but I couldn’t tell the difference in accents. They’ve been living in Uruguay for years. As much as they love traveling themselves, they have a son who is a world traveler. He’s traveling abroad now and he is almost my age, …

I ran into Giovani in a corridor as I was checking in to an airbnb in Curitiba. It was brief but the initial connection with a lot of curiosity led us to get to know each other better the following day.
