Daily NotesMoments Together (Friends)Paraguay

Finding an old friend, San Ignacio, Paraguay, June 9, 2018

In Paraguay, I spent the first two weeks in Asuncion, the capital city. Time flew while I was indulging in re-living my life from ten years ago, which involved getting used to the size of the currency, street names, bus routes, particular word choices etc. As much as I enjoyed living in Asuncion, I was itching to visit the town I actually lived, San Ignacio. As the modification work on the car was taking longer in Asuncion, I took a bus to visit the town on...

Cerro Calvario, Copacabana, Bolivia, May 7, 2018

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 the wider view of the lake there. One of many good things about traveling around the world is that you eventually get to visit (almost) everywhere that people talk about when...

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 happy to get to know Mr. Angel Augusto. In his 70s, he travels with his bike all around Argentina. He had just ridden 1,000km to get to Corrientes from Buenos Aires....

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 physically demanding process. So I try to help when I see hitchhikers but especially because I’m traveling solo, it’s not easy to stop and open up my car to strangers. In...
- LISTENING TO MYSELF

Listening to myself- Revisiting an initial question, Lima, Peru, April 18, 2018

As much as I see interesting things out there on a daily basis, I try to maintain a dialogue with myself. That is because, although I put “listening to the world” as the title, I believe this whole experience will eventually come down to “listening to myself and understand myself better”. This one was shot more than a month ago in Lima, Peru. Although the primary audience is the future me and my future offspring, you can watch it too 🙂 Structure: 1.Some stats and updates...
