Last country before home.. South Korea + recommendations
Seoul Accommodation: Time Travelers Party Hostel. This hostel wasn’t the greatest. Definitely in the lower ratings side out of the year. The bunk beds seem to be fragile. The people we met were cool. I have a vivid memory of the bathroom door lock not being stable (literally the nails came out) and someone walking…

the “everybody’s favorite” – Thailand
When meeting people in America who have traveled to Southeast Asia, the highest vote for favorite country is typically “Thailand.” Even with that being the most popular vote, I never felt a high urgency to visit, but I’m glad I got to see what it is all about.

Beach life in Floripa, Brasil
Crossing the boarder to Brasil was easy and interesting. The bus we hopped on in Uruguay does not cross the border. They had a pit stop on the road, which you then have to walk across. The main street had you standing between Uruguay and Brasil. You’d see two different languages on one side— there…

Just a Ferry Ride Away to Uruguay
From Buenos Aires to Colonia del Sacramento, the ferry ride is about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Uruguay was not originally a part of the South America plan. But because it’s so close, why miss it? We visited 3 different towns in 1 week The first city, Colonia De Sacaramento, was such a sleepy town..…

Buenos Aires, Argentina
Late post** due to a spending an amazing time at a retreat where I became one with nature and avoided all apps/social devices. — After Iguazu Falls and Patagonia, I was excited to be back in a big city. It’s crazy to think that the Perito Moreno Glacier is slightly larger than Buenos Aires city..…

Patagonia — Fitz Roy
Everyday, I am still surprised about what I am able to experience. I feel really happy with how I have been spending it this year. After the city, El Calafete, a short 3 hour bus ride took us to our next destination, El Chalten. The ride there was scenic: lakes, mountains, and countless lamas. The…
