After arriving last friday in Sao Paolo, the girl I met back in Buenos Aires came to pick me up from the busstation. We went to her house where I met her family and showed me my room. She was only in Sao Paolo for the weekend as during the week she happens to work somewhere outside of Sao Paolo. I refreshed myself and then we went out to a discobar somewhere in the...
The last few days up here in Rio have been great! The day after the footbal match I went on this tour with the guy working here at the hostel to the favelas, aka the ghetto´s of Rio. It was an amazing experience. The favela we went to was considered quite safe so that was good. The guy doing the tour had been working as a volunteer down there for a year, so he knew...
After a 21 hour busride from Iguazu, I finally made it to Brasil! We arrived in Rio in the late morning on friday. Weather was really nice. I met a guy from Amsterdam on the bus. I decided to join him and find a hostel together with him. We shared a taxi with an american guy and two girls from Israel. We went to look for a hostel in the surroundings of the beach near...
So after moving hostels I went to buy a new camera in Paraguay. I went together with a guy I met from Buenos Aires. His friend happened to be a local here, and knows his way around. We caught a bus from Puerto Iguazu, Argentina to Brasil. The bus terminated right in front of the border with Paraguay. From there we had to walk across a big bridge where we crossed the...
Sooo.. A lot has happend eversince I arrived last thursday in Iguazu. I caught a bus from Buenos Aires on wednesday afternoon. The ride took 15 hours to Iguazu.

After arriving I met a guy from Australia in...
After almost 2 weeks having a good time, relaxing in Mar del Plata, I really thought it was time to move on and start traveling again. It´s so easy to get stuck in places and I felt like that was about to happen if I was staying much longer at the beach. I had a great time with my friends and it was good to see them again. After clubbing one more night on...
After arriving in Mar del Plata, I obviously couldn´t do much else than go to the beach with the temperatures I am being confronted with. I asked the niece of my ex, Antonella, to join me to the beach. She went there with her whole family. I met up with them at a beach called Playa Grande, which i already knew as I had been there 2 years before as well...
After the BBQ I had in my hostel, I went to a nightclub with a few guys I met during dinner. The hostel arranged a transfer, so we all went together. Once I got there I met a few other people I met the night before in another disco. It was a fun night. The next day I woke up in the early afternoon. As it happened to be sunday, all the shops were closed. Even...
The first few days have been excellent. I´ve already met so many new people from all over the world, it´s incredible. The day I arrived I went to have dinner with three brasilians I met in my room. Obviously I went for a big Argentine steak. Later on we went for a walk along the river which was nice too. The day after I went with them...
So there I was, early morning on january 15th, waiting for my airplane to depart. After a stern security check at the gate, asking me questions about the contents of my bags I was allowed to enter the airplane. The airplane departed on time and there the 10 hour journey to Atlanta started. While in the airplane – looking annoyed around me, I noticed a girl a...
