Random things you need to budget for while traveling
Even if your efforts to pack light, you still need a few things here and there when you backpack. This post is meant for ultra-budget backpackers. I’m talking the people who can afford a plane ticket but have to volunteer at hostels and pinch pennies when they go somewhere else. You have a bunch of…

Just wanted to write about how LATAM overcharged me
A lot of people assume that travelling the world is an exciting experience, and for the most part it’s very rewarding. However, it also means dealing with inconveniences such as this one. I’m posting about this negative experience with #LATAM so that fellow travelers are aware. On 9 April (this Tuesday) I flew out of La Paz,…

I couldn’t use my debit card in Bolivia
… but here’s what I learned. I always wanted to visit Bolivia. It just seemed cool and so different from Argentina. I got to hang out there for 17 days but as a digital nomad, it doesn’t mean everything was 100% fun. For one, I worked super-hard and barely got to see La Paz. But…

Even worse when you’re being a digital nomad with a precarious budget and almost…

fusiones culinarias
Cuando has crecido con la cocina de varias culturas te acostumbras a las fusiones. Ahorita me estoy preguntando cómo sabría un lomo saltado pero con un poco de kimchi al lado. También me pregunto cómo serían las pupusas con kimchi encima… O me pregunto qué pasa si uso bulgogi en una empanada de…

Know your history…
Every day, in every town I’ve been ever since leaving Argentina, whiteness lets me know that people who have its color only see me as a servant and free Spanish teacher. People will literally see me walk in with my heavy backpack and hiking boots and STILL think I’m an expert on Chile and…
