Oh! The Places

Lima Life

My time in Lima flew by and now seems like it was ages ago (now finally finishing this post it really was ages ago!). This is where I settled down and spent the longest amount of time in any one place over the past year. Lima became my home away from home as I was surrounded by great people in this awesome…

Investigating the Incas

The Salkantay trek which snaked me through the Andes up to the ancient city was a fantastic experience! I wanted to start off with my favorite picture and give you the abridged version should you want only that; here it is Machu Picchu is magical!

Briefly in Bolivia

I was constantly wavering if I would in fact pass through Bolivia. On certain days I was in for it and others I figured I would avoid this country and head directly to Peru.

Expedition into Patagonia

I departed Buenos Aires heading to the fin del mundo. My first stop would be the Southern most city in the world, Ushuaia, from where I would then make my way North through parts of Patagonia in Argentina and Chile! Uncertain of when and where I would go things kicked off in…

Buenos Aires — Argentina

Back to Buenos Aires! I arrived in the Argentine capital excited to explore more of this city which I visited for a few days back in 2011 before starting at LinkedIn. I had a list of must visit sites that I looked forward to checking off and some top restaurants which I was eager to…

Uruguay

I am back on the road, with the adventure restarting from the South of South America. After a redeye to Miami, a 14 hour layover (Anthony Bourdain style) in the city that never sleeps and another redeye I arrived in Montevideo, Uruguay to start off 2016’s portion of the travels.
