My semi last dinner in Santa Cruz, about 2 weeks ago, I was with Dom, Miguel (Doms friend from home who was here traveling for 2 weeks) and Liza, the girl from Ireland who came on the road trip with us. We were all talking on the way to dinner and somehow the topic of […]

After returning from Rurenbarque to La Paz I met up with Dominic 2 days later and we set out on another car trip from La Paz to Santa Cruz, through Cochabamba (Bolivia). Because I dont have many photos with my broken camera and I have been writing for some five hours today, […]

We got to La Paz and all went out for a night out.  We hadn´t booked flights to Rurenbarque but we knew Nick and Jess they were there about a day ahead of us so we booked a flight and when we arrived I talked to a number of different tour agencies and found which one […]

Skipping a day now…we went from Uyuni to Oruro which is just a town that is basically one big market (the pictures messed up while uploading and now the battery on my camera is dead….and Its dead becuase I cant take pictures with it anymore for some reason so I havn´t been charging the battery) […]

After walking around in Uyuni for a little bit looking for a place to stay, we ran into someone we met in Salta, Argentina who gave us a good reccomendation of a hostel to stay in. We were relieved to be back paying $3 or $4 USD a night as opposed to the $20 - […]

When we were waiting for the bus to Bolivia we met Celine, from France, and Bosh, from England, who were both traveling alone. Celine barely spoke any English but she was fluent in Spanish so over the next 4 or 5 days of traveling together we frequently found ourselves having conversations in Spanish which helped […]

I havn´t written for a while mostly becuase of a combination of things. Sometimes I have just been moving to quickly to spend a few hours uploading photos and writing and other times I have just been in places that were just simply too hot to sit at a computer for more than five minutes. […]

Our bus from Purmamarca to Chile involved climbing from about 6000 feet to a little over 12000 feet in just about an hour.  The rapid increase in altitude caused extreme nausea and the best way to soothe the pain is to partake in the local tradition of chewing coca leaves.  The effects of the leaves […]

Purmamarca is a completely sureal town who is reffered to in our guide book with nothing more than a few sentences. It is known for the ¨Hills of Seven Colors¨ which surrounds it. The pueblo is no bigger than a half a mile by a half a mile. The next morning we woke up early […]

Equipo internacional is now reduced to three. Dakin, Dominic, and me. We would have been hot on Jess and Nick´s trail, but we ended up finding a way to get to Chile without waiting too long.

North of Salta is the province of Jujuy. Humahuaca is one of the northern pueblos in the Jujuy region. We […]

Ok. I am still trying to catch up however am still trailing by about a week. But i have recorded everything as they happen in my journal and just tranfer to the net when we stop somewhere that has it.
Our first day in Salta we spent most of the time just relaxing, catching up […]

When our bus from the mountain finally made it back to the bus station (on Fiday the 19th), we all took some time to look around the station to see what company went where and how much everything cost. After talking to a few different companies we became frustrated becuase there was no comapany […]

I must give credit where credit is due, and the only reason this website works and all the bells and whistles seem to never break down is all because of the efforts of my friend Ben Hanna, for i had no clue how to set up anything on here.  Ben just recently set out for […]

The following post was written by both Zach and Dakin: 
We have a new addition to our crew. Dominic is from Switzerland and was teaching snowboarding in Bariloche but has set out to travel for a few months before returning home.
We were all very intent on doing a multi-day trek in the Andes, so we checked […]

¨I distrust summaries, any kind of gliding through time, any too great a claim that one is in control of what one recounts; I think someone who claims to understand but is obviously calm, someone who claims to write with emotion recollected in tranquillity, is a fool and a liar. To understand is to […]

Mendoza is a small mountain metropolitan town. The surrounding mountains cannot not be viewed from within the city, although buildings exceeding five sotries are few and far between, but from about an hour outside you can view many snow capped mountains, one of which is Aconcagua, the highest peak outside of the Asia (around 22,000 […]

Okay, until recently I have been hesitant to speak about my plans because I was waiting to here about an opportunity doing some video work for Nike. A friend of a friend was kind enough to, after learning of my editing abilities, put me in contact with a Brand Coordinator at Nike with a […]

Sunday we went to the biggest futbol game of the year. This time we decided to sit on the side of the stadium with all of the houligans. Being the biggest game of the year, there was was much more chaos during the whole length of the game including thousands of balloons floating […]

Friday night we went to a party with some of Emily friends who were all Argentine. Although they were all Argentine, they all spoke English exceptionally well. One of her friends, Simon, had learned English by watching American movies and picking out phrases that would work well to express what he wanted to […]

Yesterday, after making a decision to get out of the big city for a few days, Dakin and I went down to the bus station and got on a bus to Mar Del Plata.  We also have a friend here, Emily, who was kind enough to invite us and offer a free place to stay.  The bus […]
