This mosque in Paramaribo is no regular mosque. What’s so unique about the mosque is how it sits right next to a Jewish synagogue. Around the world there are synagogues and mosques within a block of each other and maybe even on the same block. But there is no other place in the world where you can […]
Chaos at Carnival in Salvador, Brazil
This is the beginning of Carnival parade on the coast of Salvador de Bahia, Brazil. Carnival in Brazil is not for the faint of heart! Its a full week of walking in the parade for miles on end while drinking and dancing at the same time. By the third day I was completely exhausted while […]
Visiting Cali, Colombia-2nd Impressions of the Salsa Capital
Visiting Cali, Colombia certainly got better on day 2. If you haven’t read part one of my visit to Cali the click here to read it. On the 2nd day I contracted the coolest taxi driver in the city to drive us around to all the main sites including Cristo Rey and the historical sites. […]
Visiting Cali, Colombia for the first time
I never felt at home more than I have in Medellin, Colombia. Even when I first arrived I kind of felt like I was home. I had to visit the city of Cali, Colombia because I kept hearing rants and raves about it. Everyone told me that it’s a bit like Medellin only warmer and […]
Driving The Atacama Desert & Chilean Coast
I decided to spend roughly 5 days in the Atacama Desert to see all of the region. I honestly didn’t know much about all the things to do in Chile until I started living there and talking to locals. Once I arrived I was blown away by all of the unique things to see and […]
Tucan in the Amazon-Galibi Nature Reserve, Suriname

Normally people come for the sea turtles and if you have read my post on why environmentalists are the enemy you would see that this tour would have been completely wasted if it wasn’t for the zoo. […]
Shining Peacock at Devil’s Island, French Guiana
This little guy was in the small zoo that they have on one of the three islands that culminate the Devil’s Island. This was the only male that we found in the small zoo and the rest of the birds were female. One of the cool things that I saw were the iguanas. Devil’s island […]
Crossing The Border Between French Guiana-Suriname
One of the things that amused me the most about traveling to The Guianas was the border in-between Suriname and French Guyana. French Guyana is easily the most developed of the three and Suriname has it’s business together however. The actual border is a complete joke, I could seriously smuggle an entire family through the […]
Welcome to the Sushi Hangover: Team Medellin Style
I have about a month left in Colombia and I will remember nothing more than the sushi hangovers every Tuesday. I am not only a fanatic of Sushi but I have become quite accustomed to a sushi hangover. Sushi Hangover – When your stomach is about to explode from eating too much sushi At Sushi […]
Environmentalists Are The Enemy: Sea Turtle Edition
Put down your fat burger and swallow that carbonated sugar drink and hear me out for a second. I am not saying that we shouldn’t have environmentalists in the world but sometimes they take it to extremes. I experienced just this on my trip to French Guyana when trying to see the massive leather back […]
