Once again, I found myself looking back at all the incredible memories I had made within such a short time…

• • • Argentina: 

      • • Best: If I were to choose just one highlight, I guess it’d have to be the Vinciguerra Glacier trek. As much as I loved everything else the country had to offer, this was my first solo trek up a mountain – something that seemed to open a whole new world of possibilities to me. As I hiked and got lost and went wherever the hell I wanted, I felt a sense of freedom unlike any other. The Big Ice trek on Perito Moreno would win this competition if only I could have roamed freely as well!

        • Worst: I’m having quite a hard time thinking about bad times in my new favourite country. I guess it could be the hostel I was staying at in Puerto Iguazu. Yeah, that part definitely sucked.

• • • Antarctica: 

      • • Best: Okay, okay, I know it’s not part of Latin America but I’m not gonna create another section just for a short paragraph, so please bear with me. Okay, where was I? Ah yes, right. How the hell could I choose one highlight when every single thing we saw was a highlight in and of itself? But, gun to my head, I guess it’d be the moment we spotted the leopard seal as we cruised around the icebergs on the Zodiacs. That was cool as hell.

        • Worst: Josh. Need I say more?

• • • Chile: 

      • • Best: Hmm… I could either go with trekking in Patagonia once again – which, to me, had become somewhat of a safe haven (quite ironically given the harsh conditions of the region), or experiencing the Atacama Desert and salt flats – something I’d never seen before.

        • Worst: This time round, it’d be quite easy for me to choose a negative – a perfect tie between my sleep deprivation and having to face the end of my trip.
