Tweet Colonia de Sacramento is one of my favourite places in all of Uruguay, and it’s images like the one above that really make it for me. The city is filled with old, colonial photos just waiting to be taken. The streets are lined with old cars, the houses ooze in the colonial vibe, and [...]

Tweet Off of the coast of Peru there are a series of islands known as the Ballestas Islands. They are quite commonly known as the “poor man’s” Galapagos Islands. However, the truth is that they are completely different. The Ballestas Islands are small bird-filled islands on which people can not walk along. Tours travel to, [...]

Tweet The Chaco region is found in basically the middle of South America. The majority of the region sits within the sometimes obsolete country of Paraguay. However obsolete in the minds of the majority of travellers, the truth is that the Chaco region, and perhaps all of Paraguay, has a lot of potential to develop [...]

Tweet When thinking about South America it is easy to forget about the three tiny little countries in the North-East known as the Guinanas. However, these may be some of the most diverse countries in the region. Not only do they have a rich cultural heritage, which draws from Dutch, English, Portuguese, Spanish, East-Indian and [...]

TweetIf you’ve travelled as long as I have it’s almost impossible to try and pin down your favourite place in the world. In fact, I would argue that my personal favourite place in the world changes almost daily. However, the above photo was taken at a place called the Shangri-La Lodge in Tena, Ecuador, and [...]

TweetBogota gets a bit of a bad reputation. Well, I think the truth is that all of Colombia gets a bad reputation. The truth is, however, that despite the negativity there is a whole lot to love about the country’s capital. Bogota, perhaps, has one of the most powerful set of museums in all of [...]

TweetThere is nothing quite like visiting a market in a foreign country. They ooze with “foreign” feelings, sights, sounds, and smells. The photo above was taken at a market in Valparaiso, Chile, one of my favourites yet. If you’re hoping to get great photos of a market my recommendation is to go nice and early [...]

TweetBrazil is home to some of the most diverse wildlife anywhere on the planet. Not only that, but the amount of wildlife is packed in, and seems to jump from every crevice of the natural playground. In fact, one area of the country known as the Pantanal, which borders both Paraguay and Argentina, is known [...]

Tweet La Paz, Bolivia might be one of my favourite places on the planet to people watch. I would sometimes spend hours straight sitting in Plaza Murillo just watching the daily lives of the local people. Children would laugh as they attempt to feed a flock of pigeons who attack the little people nearly twice [...]

TweetPeople always give seagulls and pigeons a bad rap. They are “stupid” birds, the scavengers of the bird world. However, I’m not sure that there’s a bird that entertains me more than these two species. I think part of it is due to the fact that they are not scared of us, they come close [...]
