How to Stay Fit on a Diet of Goat Cheese and Wine in Cafayate

Cerrillos, Argentina:  A Small Town, A King Size Bed, and Real Coffee

I have to be honest. The shared dorm in a hostel thing is getting a little old. After my Roomorama apartment in Santiago, I realized I need to treat myself to some privacy and nicer accommodations every once in a while so as not to get myself to the point that I scream at 20-something […]

Foto of the Week from … The Middle of the Andes:  Lines

I escaped the flooding desert after a rather miserable bus ride that inexplicably took about 6 hours longer than it should have. It is good to be back in Argentina. When the bus crossed the Andes in the north of Argentina, it was after dark, so I could not see much.  I just felt the […]

Hola! I'm Stephanie. At the age of 29, I started my solo travel sabbatical through Latin America, and this site is where I share my experiences with friends, family, and you.

I write about independent travel and my attempt to live simpler, consume less, and experience more. I hope to introduce you to new places and experiences, inspire you to go out and explore the world, and perhaps provide a little entertainment.
