We’re Jared and Carra and this is our blog about our experiences and impressions while traveling through South America. In all, we’ll be visiting Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia.

Our plan is fairly open with the general timeframe of being on the road for 6-12 months. We hope to remain open to opportunities that present themselves during travel, whether that means a side trip or an extended stay in a particular city, town, village or region. We love food, we love wine, we enjoy meeting new people and we truly believe everybody has a story to tell. While we travel, we hope to meet new people and better understand different cultures and traditions and bring light to our readers through writing and photography.

By the end of our trip, we hope to have covered much of South America (preferably from Ushuaia up to Cartegena), learn a fair amount of Spanish, understand the people and cultures we encounter, and to still be best friends.

Regardless of what happens on the road, this should be a fun adventure and we will keep you updated on the highs, lows, successes and failures as we go. We hope you enjoy our photos and find our blog entertaining and informative.
