One Year World nomad experiment in South America

I decided to experiment living in a different country for a month (more or less). The challenge was to stick to my usual monthly budget from Montreal for rent, food, and all the rest. Of course, this didn’t account for the necessary tourist activities that can drain your bank account.

Departure from Montreal

It all began on a stormy day of July...

Crossing the East Coast of the USA by Bus and Train

Something I swore not to do again.

Arrival at Miami

I reach the tip of the North Hemisphere, ready to do the 'jump' to the South

Cartagena, Colombia

Crossing the Caribbean by plane, from Miami to Cartagena, Colombia.

Medellin, in the Aburrá Valley

The strangest city

Brazilian side

Argentina

Mar del Plata and Rosario

The fertile desert town, and the crossing of the Andes to Santiago

The dreamy towns of Bariloche, El Calafate, and El Chalten

Visit to the mysterious pinguin island

The Northern part of Argentina, all the way to Bolivia

Chile

One massive, over-populated ghetto

With Vina del mar next door, and the fire coming

Puerto Montt, Puerto Natales and Torres del Paine, and Punta Arenas

Visit to the mysterious pinguin island

Bolivia

The great salt flats

Las minas del diablo

The ideal cities

A unique city with El Alto

Paraguay

And the full journey from Santa Cruz

The city of shopping malls and the mission ruins

Shopping warehouse madness and the crossing to Brazil

Suriname & Guyana

Little visited Dutch-soaked colonial town 

Caribbean flavors and chaos that drifted onto the continent.
