This was my last night in Asuncion. My 3 week long stay in Asuncion was sweet and it’s finally over. These friends made it very special. I’m happy to remember that I’ve known them for 10-11 years. Raquel – Nora Mabel – Roberto – Nora Mercedes @paseo Carmelita’s, Asuncion, Paraguay, June 18, 2018
In Paraguay, I spent the first two weeks in Asuncion, the capital city.

Copacabana was the second town where I got to appreciate the Lake Titikaka, after Puno in Peru. Some travelers later asked me how the two places compare. As for the towns, Puno seemed bigger with more activities going on, but in Copacabana, the Lake Titikaka seemed more like a sea. It is probably because of …

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 …
Crossed the border in Clorinda, Argentina and arrived in Paraguay. After a decade, I’m happy to explore and rediscover this familiar country for a month, while catching up with old friends. @Asuncion, Paraguay, May 28, 2018
After days of the repetitive routine -drive, eat and sleep- since Uyuni, I was happy to meet some like-minded travelers. This was taken when we were enjoying the strong sunlight during the day, after surviving the cold together the night before.

Argentina! It’s still the northernmost part of Argentina but when I think about it, it is definitely not insignificant that I made it up to this far, to the Southern Cone region. After 8 months and almost 40,000 kilometers, my company(car) and I are still healthy without having hurt anyone. I can only be grateful …
