South America completely changed what I thought I enjoyed about travel. Before this trip, I chased packed itineraries and tried to maximize every day. Somewhere between colonial cities, glaciers, wine country, and mountain towns, I realized I enjoyed slowing down just as much as checking off landmarks. These guides are organized by country so you can explore each destination, compare regions, and find realistic itineraries based on my own experience.
🇨🇴 Colombia
Colombia surprised me with just how different each destination felt. Medellín, Guatapé, and Cartagena each offered a completely different experience, making it one of the easiest countries to build into a varied itinerary.

🇵🇪 Peru (Publishing throughout Fall 2026)
Peru is much more than Machu Picchu. Across multiple trips, I’ve explored everything from the Sacred Valley and Cusco to Lima, Arequipa, Lake Titicaca, and the Peruvian coast. These guides focus on balancing the country’s iconic highlights with places that deserve more attention.

🇦🇷 Argentina
Argentina gave me some of the biggest contrasts of the trip, from the energy and neighborhoods of Buenos Aires to the glaciers and mountain landscapes of Patagonia. These guides cover both sides of the experience, with realistic itineraries and what I’d prioritize when planning each destination.

Uruguay gave us a slower change of pace after some of South America’s bigger cities. These guides cover my time in Montevideo and Colonia del Sacramento, including what stood out, how the destinations differed, and where I’d spend my time on another visit.
