Raquel – Nora Mabel – Roberto – Nora Mercedes @paseo Carmelita’s, Asuncion, Paraguay, June 18, 2018
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
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...
Border crossing into Paraguay @asuncion, paraguay, may 28, 2018
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
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...
Johanna (Germany), Sven(Germany), and Maria (Serbia)
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.
