Our road trip from Santo Domingo to Cabarete started with a full history of the Dominican Republic given by our friend, Armando. Veronica, another friend of Armando’s who is actually from Quebec, but studying in Chile also joined us and put in corrections about names/dates, since she is a Latin American studies student, trying to… Continue reading Cabarete, Dominican Republic

“Adios” Argentina
We find ourselves staying in Buenos Aires for a third and final time as we prepare to leave the country. We have decided to stay in our favorite neighbourhood in the city, Palermo Soho, which is a large version of our Kensington neighbourhood back home. We fell in love with this area during our first… Continue reading “Adios” Argentina
Punta del Diablo, UY
Well, a week has come and gone here in the small beach village that is Punta del Diablo. It was exactly the type of place we wanted to spend the Christmas holidays at. The village consists of dirt roads, lots of cabañas, one ATM (which won’t be turned on until the high-season starts in January)… Continue reading Punta del Diablo, UY
Iguazú Falls, AR
After a 17 hour bus ride from Buenos Aires, we rolled into Puerto Iguazú, just after 12pm the following day. We were hoping to meet up with Holly, Matas and Anna, our American friends from Eco Yoga Park, but they had arrived a day earlier and were already on their way to Uruguay. At any… Continue reading Iguazú Falls, AR
Eco Yoga Park (week 1), AR
We have found ourselves doing some ‘eco-volunteering’ at the Eco Yoga Park, near the town of General Rodriguez, about an hour away from Buenos Aires. We weren’t too sure what to expect, since it’s a Hari Krishna community, but we were prepared to be vegetarian for the next two weeks and we were also prepared… Continue reading Eco Yoga Park (week 1), AR
Buenos Aires, AR
Once we stepped out off the plane at the international airport in Buenos Aires, I could immediately notice the difference in the air from that of Germany and the impeding winter that was on our tails. With the worries of the European passport controls behind us, Dan was finally able to exhale and take in… Continue reading Buenos Aires, AR
München, DE
Our several days in Munich mainly consisted of wandering the streets, window shopping, stepping into a few bookstores and eating! We also had the privilege of listening to some really talented street musicians. Some of which included a full roster: flute, violin, bass, cello, grand piano – and we still have no idea how they get the… Continue reading München, DE
Berlin, DE
Well, we’ve now entered into our last country in our European leg of the trip. Our journey by train from Prague to Germany was still quite beautiful, despite the overcast weather and threat of rain. For most of the trip, we ran alongside a river and every minute, a charming river town came into view.… Continue reading Berlin, DE
“Dankeschön” Austria
The conclusion for our Austria leg had us enjoying the city of Vienna. While it’s hard to deny the bigger city feel from Salzburg, and even more so from Innsbruck, we found ourselves really having fun and taking in some of the cool local activities. On our first evening we had joined another couple from… Continue reading “Dankeschön” Austria
“Servus” Austria
Well, we’re in Innsbruck, Austria and I can’t get the ‘Sound of Music’ soundtrack out of my head – and it’s only going to get worse as we head towards Salzburg. A couple of days ago we had found ourselves leaving the Santa Lucia station in Venice, sharing a 6 chair cabin with a German… Continue reading “Servus” Austria
