South America

A look back at my travels from NYC to Colombia – the start of my annual winter escape! Colombia has been amazing, but also difficult (a break-in & food poisoning!)

We did one of the most insane things this past week: We cycled down the world’s most dangerous road – Bolivia’s Death Road. Luckily, we survived the trip!

Winds of up to 100km on average?! And they say Chicago is the windy city…This week’s Polaroid is dedicated to Marcela Romagnoli’s sculpture in Puerto Natales, Chile – ‘Amor al Viento’.

This week’s Polaroid of the Week captures the snow caps and city views over Santiago in the summer.

We spent the last week in Sucre, Bolivia’s capital, where we discovered dozens of types of potatoes in the market. Did you know that potatoes were Bolivia’s main staple?

While some markets in Latin America can be overwhelming thanks to their smells and craziness, we found Cuzco’s San Pedro Market to be wonderfully organized and clean!

In my monthly round-ups, I share the best and the worst of the past four weeks, where I’ve been, and what’s next for me! February 2016 was all about Colombia.

We finally ticked a huge item off our travel wishlist – the Uyuni Salt Flats in Bolivia. The best surprise was that the 3-day jeep tour through the Altiplano was about way more natural beauty and adventure than we had expected.

This week’s Polaroid features one of the most imposing peaks of the Andes mountains: Cerro Fitz Roy in Patagonia, Argentina. Check out this spectacular mountain!

This is the fourth year in a row we reflect on another year as nomads and 2013 was an incredible mix of city-hopping and time spent in some of the most wide-open, underpopulated, breathtaking places on the planet! Find out why!
