Latin America is over, but the gap year continues. Four months left to process 252 days of adventure before the stethoscope returns to stay.
Reflections: After Chile
A final goodbye to Chile and Latin America. Reflecting on Torres del Paine, the Atacama, and the end of an eight-month nomadic lifestyle.
Santiago de Chile – Day 3: The Sunset of a Thousand Miles
Walking the streets of Santiago as a transitory ghost. Reflecting on an 8-month journey that came full circle, from Mexico City to the end.
Santiago de Chile – Day 2: The Full 360
From the steam of El Tatio geysers to floating in the Salar de Atacama. A final pisco sour as the sun sets on an epic eight-month Latin American journey.
Santiago de Chile – Day 1: The Luxury of Loneliness
After six months of shared dorms and weird smells, I finally treated myself to a hotel in Santiago. Then I accidentally opened the door while naked.
San Pedro de Atacama – Day 3: Steam and Salt
From 40 hours of sleep deprivation to the stars of the Atacama. A journey through the Valley of the Moon, pisco sours, and the secrets of the Milky Way.
San Pedro de Atacama – Day 1 & 2: The Desert Inferno and the Lunar Sea
I explore San Pedro de Atacama, hike the Valley of the Moon sip pisco sours at sunset and stargaze beneath its vast desert skies after dark.
Torres del Paine – Day 6: Conquering the Blue Giant
I trek across Grey Glacier, exploring blue crevasses and icy caves before racing back to finish the Torres del Paine W Trek in Patagonia on time.
Torres del Paine – Day 5: At the Glacier’s Edge
I hike beside Lago Grey, battle fierce Patagonian winds, cross swaying bridges and stand before the vast blue face of Glacier Grey with awe.
Torres del Paine – Day 4: Scorched Earth and High Spires
I hike to Mirador Británico, cross a fire-scarred forest and reach Paine Grande before facing the final days of my Patagonian journey alone.
