My New Addiction in Bolivia… and My Favorite Dealer

My New Addiction in Bolivia… and My Favorite Dealer

Considering I am in Bolivia, you might have thought I was talking about something else. But the addictive substance I am talking about is totally legal.   I walk 2.5 blocks to get it every day.   It costs 8 Bolivianos (US$1.15) a pop.   I am considering upping it to two per day.   […]

Mountain Biking… For Real!

Mountain Biking… For Real!

When I first got to Sucre, I was amazed at how beautiful the city is.  The colonial architecture, cobblestone streets, and perfectly manicured plazas are great, but the surrounding mountains are my favorite view everyday. I knew I wanted to get out and explore them.  I have a thing for torturous bike rides, so it […]

Have you ever felt like you have discovered the best-kept secret in a city?   Have you ever had a dining experience that made you feel like a famous food critic?   I have.  At El Baqueano.   I do not even remember where I read about El Baqueano during my guide book research, but […]

Tarabuco, Bolivia: More Than a Cheap Sunday Market

Tarabuco, Bolivia:  More Than a Cheap Sunday Market

When I arrived in Sucre, I quickly figured out that the thing to do on Sunday is go to the Tarabuco market. I heard that the fruits and veggies are cheap, and you can buy tejidos (weavings) and those ugly sweaters all the backpackers in Bolivia are wearing. Although it is easy to take a […]

Foto of the Week from Sucre: The Mirador

The neighborhood known as La Recoleta is up on a hill and is one of the best places to get a view of Sucre from above.   There is also a great cafe where you can enjoy tasty pastas and fresh fruit juices.

Eating My Way Through BA Part 9: Cocina de Influencias

Paraje Arévalo: The Vibe Paraje Arévalo has an simple yet elegant decor with a few antique pieces and a black-and-white checkered tile […]

Bolivia Scares the Sh** Out of Me

Bolivia Scares the Sh** Out of Me

Maybe I’ve grown soft traveling in Argentina and Chile for the last year. (Wow, I cannot believe I spent that much time in two countries.  I do like slow travel and enjoy the pseudo-expat life.) I started my travels in poorer countries with less infrastructure, more hassle, and more crime.  I even got robbed the first […]

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.
