I really like them… my Speedos. I mean they have an American Flag on the front! I won’t dare to share what they have on the back (you really shouldn’t judge people). But now that I have your attention I will share that the main problem with an around the world trip is that you […]
Bull Fighting Ring in Uruguay
What you are seeing is the interior of an abandoned bull fighting ring in Uruguay. The Plaza de Toros Real de San Carlos is currently blocked off because the building is crumbling. How often do tourist obey do not enter signs? I’m an avid fan of architecture and as you can see above at the right […]
Buenos Aires is Changing – Visit before its too late
You remember that vacation, the time you visited the place (that is pronounced theeee place, not the place). The (theee again) kind of place that you couldn’t stop yourself from dreaming about until you have actually been there. Then once you are there it’s everything you expected. You sit on the plane or the train […]
Buenos Aires Sightseeing: The Thinker
This is one of the original statues by Rodin properly titled The Thinker. Situated in the picturesque Plaza de Congresso square near the center of the city, this is one of the most popular things to do in Argentina. From the plaza de Congresso you can walk down Rivadavia avenue and see some of the […]
The time I climbed a Greek Temple (and didn’t get caught)
One of the things I love about Sicily is that it’s nowhere near as packed as the other major tourist attractions in Sicily. I was able to see the entire island over the course of a year just travelling on weekends. By actually living overseas I am able to see more things and save money […]
Sunset at the CN Tower: Toronto, Canada
This picture was extremely hard to take since the CN Tower has glass windows that cause glares at this time of the day. I took over 30 pictures because many of them have glares or even cables in the way, as the sun was going down the effect is magnified as the lights from the interior shine […]
Trapped in-between cultures: Who am I?
First let me tell you a little about my history: I was born in a South American country and grew up in a part American/part Latin culture. My first language was Spanish but I also speak English, Italian, and conversational French and Portuguese. I by no means look Spanish with pale white skin and green […]
REVIEW OF THE BLUE LAGOON ICELAND
The Blue Lagoon is one of Iceland’s most popular attractions drawing the attention of hundreds of thousands of tourists every year. The lagoon is actually a geothermal spa fed by water from a nearby geothermal plant. The water originates near a lava flow from 6,000 feet at its deepest level (2,000 meters). The actual lagoon […]
Buenos Aires sightseeing: Mausoleum at Recoleta Cemetery
One of the most popular things to do in Buenos Aires, the Recoleta cemetery is where the most influential Argentinian figures rest in peace. Many of the mausoleums in the cemetery are intricately detailed with marble statues through a wide rane of architectural styles. The most prominent figures buried here are Eva Peron and Raul […]
What I’m most excited about living in South America
The reason why I chose South America first is because there are so many things to see in the east that once I leave this part of the world I don’t plan on coming back (at least not to the United States). I’ve been planning my trip for some time and currently have an overall draft of […]
