Continue reading →: I’m back!
After a long silence I figured it’s about time I start writing again. I’ve been away for a couple of weeks, traveled to the first world. It had been a while since I was there, more then a year actually. I didn’t really miss it I must say, but when…

Iguazù is defenitely a top 3 “to visit” in Argentina. We went for the 2nd time. It’s only a 1:20 min flight up north, and you can go for 2 days. Although this period (january) is defenitely not the best if you don’t like the heat : compared to that…

The name has changed a bit : they omited the “Paris” but kept the Dakar. The race that used to go from Paris to Dakar has, since 3 years already, moved to Argentina. It starts in Buenos Aires and goes to Chili and back. The first year it was quite…
