First let’s get one thing straight: The food in Argentina is really delicious. I’ve been eating myself into fat pants all month. There’s only one issue: it’s really, really repetitive. Argentineans seem to never tire of the same old favorites, but for me there are only so many steaks, empanadas and milanesas I can eat [...]

eople often think I’m joking when I say that I love the food in Kyrgyzstan. Compared to other Asian countries, I find it an absolute joy to not be confronted with dish after dish of seafood, most likely due to the landlocked nature of the country and poor transportation network. Instead, the traditional cuisine bases [...]

I’ve been having a wonderful time exploring Peru the last 5 months, however I miss the old world charm of Colombia’s pueblos. This photo was taken at an upscale finca hotel in Santa Fe de Antioquia, a pueblo located just an hour from downtown Medellin. The pueblo’s lower elevation means much warmer temps — a [...]

I consider Buenos Aires, Argentina to be my second home. Since I have family here and was raised with the Argentine culture, I have a special connection with this city. I love it here and I plan on continuing to come back often. It feels great to be back but there’s a few things that just never change and still gets to me a little bit. To me, they seem like easy fixes but perhaps there’s more to it than the way I’m understanding it.

I saved twenty thousand dollars in two years, ten thousand of that within an eight month period before my trip. As a result, I’ve become a little bit of an expert on how to save a lot of money quickly. If I pulled this off, you probably can too. I’m not money genius, even now [...]

For many travellers, a trip to Tokyo represents an impossible dream: one they cannot realistically hope to realise until many years into the future when they are financially secure. Its reputation as one of the most intriguing but expensive cities suggests that one cannot afford to consume Tokyo’s exhilarating, complex culture without a sizeable travel budget. This, though, is a myth: with some planning and a bit of cautiousness, one can visit Tokyo and have an incredible time without breaking the bank.

I’m not sure what it says about Buenos Aires that one of it’s biggest tourist attractions is a cemetery. I can’t really think of anywhere else, even London with it’s gorgeous Victorian graveyards, where tourists flock to a cemetery in such high numbers. Of course, I can’t really think of any cemeteries quite like Recoleta: [...]

hen it comes to talking about the hotness of the local population, male travelers tend to take the lead. I can’t tell you how often I have been surrounded in a hostel by male backpackers just going on and on about the women they see on the streets. Fair enough, there are plenty of countries [...]

“I am taking you to see a living saint,” He said

“Sounds boring,” I said

That was how this little adventure began. Apathy on my part and pity in the eyes of my travel companion. Apathy because I didn’t believe in saints. Pity because my friend new more than I did.
