I got into Suriname late in the evening so I wasn’t able to see any part of the city. Driving from the airport can always teach you something about a country and after I got an experience in Guyana it was a fresh change of pace to see the efficiency on my visit to Dutch […]

Chilling With The Fat Guy – Paramaribo, Suriname
How cool would it have been to know this guy? He just oozes cool doesn’t he? His name is Johan Adolf Pengel, a Suriname (Dutch Guyana) born politician that gave back a great deal to his people. I won’t tell you the list of achievements that he has, instead I will tell you the problems I had taking […]
Ohh Argentina…. Keep It In Your Pants
This is my 2nd story of my awkward situations in Argentina. If you would like to read more about these funny stories see the list at the end of the post. All of these stories seem to deal with Argentinians and their.. uhh.. manhood. The men of Buenos Aires are quite different in this respect, […]
The Fruit Cart in Georgetown, Guyana
Being that Guyana is the gateway to the Amazon there is an abundance of fruit everywhere. This is where the hotel I was staying at bought there fruit every morning. There are delicious fruit drinks that you can try from all kinds of fruits including passion fruit, papaya, and pineapple (my favorite). There are a […]
Curious Chinstrap Penguin: Deception Bay, Antarctica
This picture was taken in Deception Bay Antarctica during my trip to the great white continent. This curious guy was one of the penguins that decided to completely surround me while I was in Deception Bay (see pics here) which is where most cruise operators take people to swim in Antarctic waters. There are various […]
Kaieteur Falls, Guyana
This Kaieteur Falls picture could easily be considered one of the best pictures I have taken, not only in Guyana, but of all time. Tourism in Guyana isn’t very developed so in order to get to the falls you have to take a plane into the jungle, or bush as they say in the country. You […]
The Salt Flat Cathedral, Bogota
The salt flat church in Bogota starts off very plainly and then gets quite impressive. The actual church is a salt mine that was converted into a church, in other words a tourist trap. Thats the first impression that you will get when you are walking down the main corridor. Once you get into the […]
Presidential Palace In Asuncion, Paraguay
The Presidential Palace in Paraguay was quite nice. There was an intense amount of security in the area as just a few feet there was a Brazilian Favela. Along the main tourist route you could see a bunch of security guards. Its ironic because in most countries that have this kind of security tourists think […]
Hello Bogota: Its Not Nice To Meet You
I am very glad that I decided to live in Medellin instead of Bogota, especially after my visit to the cosmopolitan capital. When I was first planning to live in Colombia it was between Bogota and Medellin. While being a very popular city Bogota is known for its crime, especially at night. Is Bogota Dangerous I […]
Getting Kidnapped (And Shot At) In Caracas, Venezuela
I never like traveling to Venezuela, especially since the country has turned into the red headed step child of South America. For those of you that didn’t know I was born in a small city in the country called Merida, near the border of Colombia. The last time I traveled to Venezuela was when I […]
