    Argentina, here i am.

    3 ottobre 2019, Argentina ⋅ 🌙 8 °C

    First night was absolutely amazing. My roommates Flo and Cucu invited me downstairs for a pizza and wine party. Wine was shit, so was the pizza 😂, but the company was awesome.

    There were about 15 of us from Chile, America, Sweden, Germany, Cuba all hanging out together, drinking Fernet (disgusting) and laughing and dancing.

    I took over the music because my ears were beginning to bleed lool. Then it became EPIC. WE WENT TO A DRAG QUEEN SHOW!!!! I felt like this was my destiny, I felt so happy. Daya got in stage and won us a free bottle of prosecco! I didn't crawl in to bed until 5.30, over 24 hours since my last sleep but well worth it. I knew the rest of my travels would be amazing!

    Cucu and Nicole day out

    3 ottobre 2019, Argentina ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    Cucu is from Buenos Aires but she showed me around the area and taught me about the local history. It was also Cucu and Flo's last night, so we went out for a steak dinner. Yum yum!

    Vineyards, Distilleries and Steak

    4 ottobre 2019, Argentina ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    Today, was an epic day. I visited 4 wineries, an olive oil vineyard and a cachaça factory. The wine was amazing and I definitely got my moneys worth. Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile used to be my favourite but now it's definitely an Argentinian Malbec. I'll be making the parents try it for sure.

    Also, afterwards I had the best steak I've ever had in my life and it was so CHEAP. Never paying top dollar for steak again although, I may have to ease off the red meat soon. Fatty fatty boom boom.

    Zip lining and White water rafting

    5 ottobre 2019, Argentina ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Today I took to the water and met up with some people from the hostel. We battled the rocky waters and some people got stuck #notme!.

    The instructor only spoke little English so I had to concentrate extra hard and it was a success. I then did the zip line which was amazing until the dog tried to bite my bum 😂Leggi altro

    Horse whisperer.. NOT

    6 ottobre 2019, Argentina ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    So I went horse riding through the Mendozan wild one my horse (Mule) and was met with an awesome Sunset and delicious traditional asado and red wine, I'm living the dream literally.

    Now my horse, I named her mocha because she was beautiful and chocolate. She was also a right Madame. Didn't follow rules, kept on going off for good, was rude and reminded me of a certain person.. me 😒.

    So, I treated her how I would like to be treated. Just let her go off and eat and do her thing and we had a much better experience.

    I loved every single second.

    Bike riding through Buenos Aires.

    8 ottobre 2019, Argentina ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    With some of the group we went on a bike ride exploring the counties history and the Influences from Europe, specifically France.

    My favourite is the middle finger building which was erected our of revenge. The family that built the cathedral had old money and the new money family wanted their daughter to marry old moneys son. They said no, so they built a huge building in the shape of a middle finger, blocking old moneys view of the Cathedral. The only way to see it, is to go down a little alley named after the daughter they rejected! What a perfect revenge 😂😂.

    Later that night, I met up with Flo one last time and she took me to a traditional BBQ. Delicious!

    9 ottobre 2019, Uruguay ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    The group took an early morning couch from Buenos Aires into Uruguay, Colonia. The town is tiny! But we did a walking tour and Lyds and I proceeded to get very drunk in the local bar. Couldn't have asked for better company!Leggi altro

    13 ottobre 2019, Uruguay ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    Can you believe I went fishing and oh so nearly caught some fish. Unfortunately, the buggers never actually stayed on and I destroyed my boots in the process. It was a great time and I may even go fishing again!Leggi altro

    What a long arse day

    15 ottobre 2019, Brasile ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

    So, after a VERY long drive, we had a quick turnaround and went to the Brazilian side of the Iguassu Falls which was stunning and awesome.

    We then had to rush and go sky diving which was such an adrenaline filled experience but I was running on empty. Then, we went to a family BBQ where there were dancers in traditional carnival costume, delicious food and of course, CAIPIRINHA!Leggi altro

    Waterfalls, Pasta and Cachaça!

    18 ottobre 2019, Brasile ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    So today Lydia and I ventured out on our own and did a 4x4 Jeep tour with Paraty tours. We visited 5 waterfalls; Pedra Branca Waterfall, White Stone Stills, Gold Path Landmark, Tobogã Waterfall, Tarzan's Well and Cassava Flour House, and was able to swim in at least three. We had to hike through the middle of the Atlantic forest, where we saw Pedra Branca waterfall. We also went to Vila de Penha where we saw the Tobogã waterfalls. We had the BEST homemade osso bouco and pasta in Villa Verde whilst watching Ru Paul. What could be better! We also went to two Caçhaca distilleries and got rather tipsy. Definitely one of my favourite days of this trip.Leggi altro

    The group and I TREKKED through a forest to get to Lopes Mendes beach. It was gorge but not worth brukking my back. I could have killed everyone but thankfully, Lydia was there to save me. I owe her my life lol. It was a good evening but it was the CHURROS that made it special. Lydia got it for me, during rainfall.. talk about romance 🥰Leggi altro

    Be a Local

    29 ottobre 2019, Brasile ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    Today, Lyds and I did a Be a local tour and was able to see some sights.

    Christ the Redeemer was amazing and I was able to say a prayer at the feet of the statue and felt very grounded in that moment.

    Santa Teresa was so beautiful and awesome I felt the faith all around me.

    Sugar loaf is where you go for those gorgeous views, being able to see Christ the redeemer by sunset was just amazing.

    Last but not least, Lapa steps. Beautiful, I just want you to know, you're my favourite girl.... ❤️

    I'd been looking forward to this day for ages. Chef Simone is amazing, we made Caiprinhas, Cheese and Guava, smoked sausage, Moqueca fish stew with banana farofa.

    Did you know that in Brasil, they eat fish with bananas. It's delicious!Leggi altro
