Yesterday I had a really interesting conversation with a friend about how to be representatives of the United States abroad. I understand that this is an extremely valid thing to disagree with me on, but personally I feel that when outside the US, it's my job to give the US a good face. Of course I mean that in the sense that I should be a nice ...

Saludos from Chile,
Well once again Independence Day marked my departure from the United States and summertime and my arrival to the Southern Hemisphere and winter. Each time it amazes me how I can wake up to an Andean sunrise and in 1 night travel from summer to winter.

Left Pucon and the volcano behind me and jumped on Tur Bus to Santiago. 10 hours pleasant journey actually, despite not having a flat bed ;-) Arrived at La Chimba hostel, which turned out to be one of the best hostels I have stayed at on this trip. Check their rating at www.hostelworld.com. Met Dolores and Robin at La Chimba, so we decided to wa...

We left early Sunday morning from Mendoza. We had bought our ticket in advance to make sure we had good seats. Front row, on the second story of a panoramic bus, and good thing too. 1 hour out of Mendoza, we reached the mountains. The first row was still brown and green, but the inner, larger mountains were massive with snow covered peaks. The n...

19.4. Zaradi centralne lokacije se nama ne mudi prevec iz hostla, za preveritev vzdusja v centru zadostuje ze, ce pokukava cez balkon. Okrog poldneva obisceva muzej cilske narodne zgodovine, ki se nahaja na drugi strani Plaze de Armas, in se slikava pred parlamentom nekaj ulic juzneje.

Our original plan was to spend a couple of days here, but thanks to my hospital stay and delayed departure we only spent a day. So to cram as much as we could into the day we just hired a cab driver to show us the highlights before our late flight to Buenos Aires. He took us to a pedestrian mall first, we saw some locals dancing. He took us to...

Atacama Desert, San Pedro, La Serena, Santiago, Pucon Chile, strange Christmas and 22 days before I come home. How am I feeling? Christmas was incredibly different as you will read further on. Hot, hot, hot but a white Christmas in an unconventional way. Coming home? Apprehensive, excited and sad to be leaving these fantastic memories and places...
