Santiago, Chile – Sydney, Australia Finally, after three months, six countries, numerous friendly faces, and countless hours of bus rides, I had to leave South America. Even though I was sad to leave the continent, I knew one day I’d return. So much more to […]

Day 232: End With a Tremor
Mendoza, Argentina – Santiago, Chile The ride from Mendoza to Santiago brought us through a scenic route across the Andean mountains. I saw earlier at the hostel that skydiving costs less than USD 200 in the area. It’s probably not a bad place to do […]
Day 205: Ladies of the Flower
Santiago – Puerto Montt, Chile My bus to Puerto Montt wasn’t going to be until late in the afternoon. Technically I had time to go round town during the day. However, the thought of carrying my giant backpack around deterred me. I chose to just […]
Day 204: Y Hoy, Por Que No?
Santiago, Chile Slow relaxing day visiting a park, a coffeeshop, a library and a supermarket with Eddie. We cooked broccoli and pork for dinner. On the top floor of Eddie’s apartment is a swimming pool and an incredible view of Santiago during sunset. I spent […]
Day 203: A Weak Link
La Serena – Santiago, Chile It’s a big blur of a day. Can’t even remember what I did in the morning. But I caught an afternoon bus ride arriving at night in Santiago. Here’s a couple attempted photographs. They’re weak: Eddie from Couchsurfing was kind […]
Day 198: Ruta 68
Santiago – Vina del Mar, Chile Sometimes I questioned my own logic. So, the bus from Santiago to Vina del Mar only costs $8. Yet, I chose to take the metro and walk to meet up with Bruno at his CS host’s apartment. Then we […]
Day 197: Coca Cola Chicken
Santiago, Chile I woke up at 10:30 this morning. It’s probably the latest I ever woke up since I got to South America. Got my internet fix before I decided to head out. Eddie didn’t get back from his party until 5:30am so he was […]
Day 196: What’s Your Game?
Santiago, Chile Ever since I embarked on my trip this time around to South America, I hadn’t done any couchsurfing at all. Not sure why. When I logged into the Couchsurfing site a couple of days ago, I found out about a picnic that local […]
Day 195: Ozoneless
Santiago, Chile I backtracked my way through the places that the walking tour guide showed us yesterday. A few sites that I found interesting were the GAM cultural center, the neighbourhood Lastarria, and the famous Emporio La Rosa ice cream place. I also visited a […]
Day 194: The Beat Kids
Santiago, Chile Sooooooo, I managed to get hold of an ISIC card. An hour of tinkering on the computer, a visit to an agency, $18.5 later, I had the card in my hands Remember how I said it wasn’t worth the hassle to get the […]
Day 193: Reach A Bit Further
Lima, Peru – Santiago, Chile I think I’ll miss Peru. I had a wonderful time there but the big part of it was the people that I met. Anyway, it’s time to move on. Chile’s next. The flight from Lima to Santiago was my third […]
Day 234: Trans-Pacific
Santiago, Chile – Sydney, Australia I don’t get it… I have not the slightest problem sleeping on buses. In fact, I have problem keeping awake and be productive on bus rides. But on planes, I can’t sleep for more than half an hour. My guess […]
