NEAR DEATH TRAVEL EXPERIENCE Back in March 2009, I was a grad student at the London School of Economics and my friends, KK and Jessica, came to visit me for a week. During their stay, we decided to hop on a Ryanair flight to Tenerife in the Canary Islands. On the morning that we left, […]
BEST TRAVEL TALE – FINALIST #4 – ARGENTINE CON ARTIST
My First Encounter with an Argentine Con Artist Today, glorious Friday. I only had a few pesos on me so Julieta (a girl I work with) and I decided to go get a sandwich. As we turn the corner something organish-brown catches my eye. To my horror, a dog is lying on the street – […]
THE ARGENTINE PINOCCHIO
One must be careful upon close contact because you could lose an eye in simple conversation with this Argentine. As he moved his nasal appendage you could feel the wind change direction. This I tell you was great because it was a bit nippy on the boat. So for you who do not believe in […]

Where You Should Go If You Can’t Afford Antarctica
Its a dream to make it to the white continent but with prices starting off at $3,000 its no wonder why only about 37,000 people made it to Antarctica last year. It is by no means a cheap adventure and that doesn’t include the costs of getting to the port where you leave. Last minute […]

In the center of the plaza you will find a monument depicted the great General Artigas. Once you snap a few pictures and continue walking you will find a set of stairs that lead you under the monument. Its […]
SALAR DE TARA – ATACAMA DESERT, CHILE
This was on one of the tours that I took in the Atacama desert that I would highly recommend to anyone. The roads are so rough that you are not able to go yourself and need to take a 4×4. A max of 4 people are also allowed on the tour and they even feed […]
THE TERMINATOR – PARAGUAY
Not many people go to Paraguay and the main is reason is because the country is overlooked with the likes of Argentina, Peru, and even Brazil. First I would like you to guess what the vehicle was carrying. Rice. Why would you need so much security for rice? I honestly dont know because I was […]
GIANT CHESS AT THE FESTIVAL OF LAUGHS
Canada in the summer turns into the land of festivals and Montreal in particular. I use to love playing chess while I was younger and to find this was a welcomed surprise. I was invited to Montreal by Todd & Lauren from Globetrooper and got to meet up with Dave & Deb from ThePlanetD, we […]
