Foto of the Week from … El Bolson – Patagonian Lamb

I was told by Jeff from Career Break Secrets that I had to try the lamb when I got to Patagonia. So I did. Cordero Patagónico I am not sure that I have ever had lamb before. This was pretty good (one of the few things you can get in Argentina that is not fried […]

Foto of the Week from … Peninsula Valdes – Lines and Contrast

I took a tour of Peninsula Valdes (near Puerto Madryn).  I was here to see the wildlife, but I was amazed by the landscape. I like the lines of this photo and the contrast between the bright blue sky and the white, dry rock and sand. More to come on my incredible experience at Peninsula […]

Foto of the Week from … Buenos Aires

Whoever did the city planning in Buenos Aires was a genius.  In many neighborhoods (at least the nicer and wealthier ones), there are lots of tall, beautiful trees.  I was lucky to experience the Jacaranda trees blooming this Spring. I had to share two photos this week because there are just too many Jacaranda trees […]

Foto of the Week from … Buenos Aires

This photo was taken in the courtyard of Manzana de las Luces, an historical landmark in Buenos Aires. This is quite different than most of the historical architecture you see in the city. I took this photo because I really liked the natural light coming in from the courtyard on the left and the lines […]

When people say that Buenos Aires looks like Europe, this is what they are talking about. This is the Standard Bank building downtown on Florida near the Catedral Subte D stop. Check out previous Fotos of the Week!

Foto of the Week from …. Buenos Aires

I took this photo in Plaza de Mayo. This is a busy area with lots of symbols of Buenos Aires.  I looked for a unique angle to capture some of the symbols.  The focus is on the white shawl painted on the ground, which symbolizes the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo.  These white shawls are […]

Foto of the Week from …. Buenos Aires

This is a simple photo, but for some reason, I was really drawn to this building. I was in Chacarita on a rooftop terrace enjoying a birthday party.  Chacarita is a quiet, residential neighborhood.  This building across the street stood out because it was the only tall building around.  The white exterior contrasted nicely with […]

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.
