Posts/Entries

All posts/entries, for now, from over two decades of global travel. And a few colourful tags, too.

Torres del Paine National Park, Chile

Torres del Paine National Park, Chile

A 2,400 km² protected wilderness of mountains, lakes, rivers and glaciers deep in Patagonia, a magnet for the outdoorsy type & the undisputed highlight of South America’s Southern Cone for many.

Chile (& Easter Island)

Chile (& Easter Island)

An exploration of the 4,300-kilometre-long, laid-back, colourful, hospitable, straitlaced, isolated & largely remote South American anomaly.

Argentina

Argentina

Dual exchange rates, European influence, Che & Messi, border two-stepping, Lake District splendour, Patagonia steppe, the end of the world & tango. Criss-crossing Argentina before reaching the (very) bottom.

Easter Island

Easter Island

An exploration of Enchanting Easter Island, one of the most remote inhabited islands on the planet & universally famous as the home of the massive monolithic moai statues.

Paraguay

Paraguay

UNESCO-listed Jesuit Missions, quirky Asuncion, a mighty big dam & Illegal border crossings. Paraguay, the so-called Heart of South America, the landlocked republic that’s somewhat off the region’s well-trodden Gringo Trail.

Bolivia

Bolivia

The Tibet of the Americas, the highest, most isolated, most rugged & most indigenous country in South America.

Peru

Peru

A pictorial recap of north to south travels through Peru, one of the world’s richest heritages topped by the legacy of the Inca Empire.

Galapagos Islands

Galapagos Islands

The volcanic Galapagos archipelago off the Ecuadorian coast. Darwin’s natural laboratory of evolution and probably the world’s premier wildlife destination famed for its unrivaled array of wondrous endemic birds, mammals, reptiles & plants.

Ecuador (& Galapagos)

Ecuador (& Galapagos)

The Equator. The Galapagos. The Rain Forest. The Avenue Of Volcanoes. Some Of South America’s Best Colonial Architecture. Ecuador has it all, and then some.

Colombia

Colombia

Twenty-eight images from a north-south, 2,000 kilometre, 10-day, 6-stop jaunt through Colombia, one of South America’s most photogenic countries.

Maracaibo, Venezuela

Maracaibo, Venezuela

“A lot about Venezuela seems questionable, the exchange rate of the struggling currency, the bolivar, being the obvious example. Investigating it online before arrival raised more questions than it answered. I really had no idea what to expect when I landed, a financial flummox the likes of which I’ve never before had to deal with on all of my travels. Suffice it to say, this was the first topic I broached with Nixon, my new Venezuelan bestie & chauffeur cum financial advisor.”

Goodbye To The Caribbean

Goodbye To The Caribbean

Fifty-nine days, nine countries & (only) three missed inter-island flights. Saying goodbye to the sun, sea & sand after two months of Lesser & Greater Antilles island-hoppin’.

Curacao

Curacao

“Curacao’s capital of Willemstad is a gorgeous UNESCO-listed architectural treat that’s awash with pastel-coloured colonial buildings. Needless to say, it’s a rather photogenic location, no matter where you look.”

Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago

Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago

”Good for a day (or two at most) of exploration and the capital of the twin-island southern Caribbean nation of Trinidad & Tobago, Port of Spain is hot, green, bustling & world-renowned for its region-best Carnival, but somewhat aesthetically challenged & short on must-see sights.”
