South America and Antarctica
I've quit my job, sold my apartment and most of my belongings, and bought a one-way ticket out of the country. The rough plan is to travel around South America with a detour of a few weeks to visit Antarctica. I'm not sure exactly where I'm going or for how long. All I know is that the first stop is Canada.
Through the Desert
February 20, 2019
Exploring the Salta region with a road trip through the desert, wine tastings, and taking the train to the clouds.
Vacation from Vacation
February 8, 2019
I'm taking a break from constantly moving around and staying in Buenos Aires for a month. But first a stop in one of the wine capitals of the world: Mendoza.
Christmas, Easter, and New Years
January 2, 2019
Spending Christmas on Easter Island looking at moais all over the island and even in the ocean, and New Years in Valparaíso with a lot of street art, getting sunburnt on the beach, and sitting on top of sand dunes.
The Southern Road

Travelling north through Chile along Carretera Austral, the southern road, with stops here and there for some amazing caves, hot springs, and local beer.

A lot of hiking and a lot of great views of glaciers and mountains in Argentinian Patagonia, and eventually crossing the border into Chile, also by hiking.

Wandering around in Uruguay

One week in Uruguay exploring the old town of Colonia and wandering the streets of Montevideo. And, again, eating a lot of meat.
Empty Hostels and Full Hostels
October 16, 2018
Visiting Encarnacion, Paraguay, where I'm almost alone everywhere, and Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I, for the first time this trip, have to book a hostel in advance as they're pretty much fully booked, and for one of the nights even overbooked. I'm visiting, among other things, old ruins, colourful neighbourhoods, and a pretty impressive cemetery.
