South America 6 months ago

I have just finished travelling South East Asia, New Zealand, Australia, South Pacific and US and I would really love to travel to South America in the next year.I want to see Brazil, Argentina and Peru and do the Inca Trail, see the Andes, Patagonia, Rio etc.



Looking to volunteer 6 months ago

Looking to do volunteering in south america – brazil and elsewhere.

I found a really good volunteer site (idealist.org), which will help cut down on travel costs.



Doing it! 9 months ago

What seemed like a far off dream is now a close reality. I found a traveling companion, and if all goes well, we will be hitting up (in succession) : Paraguay, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Brazil. It will be a 2 month excursion costing around $4000.

This is something I really want to do!!

I think backpacking around South America would be an awesome experience!... meeting new ppl.. trying new food.. knowing new cultures..=)

Even though I live in South America… most ppl that want to travel, they dont even think about latin american countries.. maybe this happens because we think we have those countries so close that we shouldnt spend time going there if we can go further.. however, I think South American countries are really beautiful and they have a lot to offer.. In my case, I will take advantage of where I live to start traveling around and get to know all of them if possible!



titinede found a job and is hoping to go on like this and enjoy life the most !

Discover the continent 13 months ago

After having lived in Ecuador for a month I am absolutely hooked on South America. I want to go back in 2009 or 2010 and spend a few months backpacking. I want to (finally!) be trilingual and converse fluently in Spanish and meet people and really learn about a different lifestyle and ways of thinking.

Let’s go together, okay?

Slow start 19 months ago

Something is finally starting to move. Ticket hunting’s begun and I’ve started initial planning. First destination will be Argentina sometime in late April 2008. If money goes as planned, it’ll last for 100 days…maybe. Oh and depending on final ticket price.



Cashing in Airline Miles 2 years ago

I have enough airline mile to get me to Lima Peru round trip and want to see as much of South America as possible. That being said if I could just hit Peru and Chile that would be fine. I want to go for about a month. Does anyone have any good advice? I’ll prbably be traveling alone and need to beef up on my spanish. I need to get out of dodge. Let me know….
