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 […]
Interacting With Penguins In Antarctica
Everyone loves Penguins and anyone who doesn’t is just weird :P. One of the main reasons that people go to the great white continent is to see them and interact with them. The location was Deception Bay which is part of the South Shetland Islands. One of the things that you can be sure about […]
FIRST NIGHT OUT WITH CHILEANS part 2: FOOD IN CHILE
Part 2 of my night out with Chileans involved Chilean Food. I have yet to taste any Chilean food out in the countryside but I can tell you that the rise of the American culture has certainly influenced the country. Much of the world is in a love and hate relationship with American culture, they hate rap but […]
The Blonde Penguin – Antarctica
Found at the massive Gentoo penguin colony in Port Lockroy, Antarctica, this penguin is not a victim of being Albino. It just has a loss of pigment in its skin. It was quite unique and we were very lucky to have a world renown biologist and penguin expert, Frank Todd, on board the ship. Don’t forget to check out other […]
FIRST NIGHT OUT WITH CHILEANS part 1
I not only tried a typical Chilean dish but also tried a delicious Chilean drink. If you haven’t read my post on living in Chile then I should inform you that there are two things that are constant in Chile, endless amounts of delicious ice cream and women wearing ugly jeans. I have now confirmed […]
The Lemaire Channel – Antaractica
The Lemaire Channel in Antarctica is a strait between the mainland continent and an island. On a calm day you will have calm blue water that reflects the amazing snow capped mountains. The first time we tried to cross the channel it was blocked with a straight line of icebergs due to the winds. When we tried […]
PENGUINS IN ARGENTINA-PENGUIN ATTACK IN PUNTA TOMBO
Punta Tombo is one of the largest Magellan Penguin Colonies in the world. Your able to get very close to the penguins and take pictures of them while you are literally inches away. The best part is that since they have been around humans for so long they are not afraid and will stay perfectly still when […]
TRIP OF A LIFETIME: ANTARCTICA COMPLETE
Itinerary for my Antarctica Classic Cruise Living in 4 countries and visiting 6 could not have been the better in 2010. I ended it with a bang and now officially have a memory that roughly 37,000 had last year, visiting Antarctica. It was truly amazing and trying to describe the beauty of this place would […]
