Trip Kickoff & Travel Days
The beginning of the journey. Flights, arrivals, first impressions, and those early moments that set the tone for the rest of the trip.
Every big trip seems to start the same way. A mix of excitement, a bit of chaos, and that feeling that once you leave, everything just unfolds from there. This time, our first stop is Mexico City before heading further south into Argentina, Uruguay, ...
Starting Our South America Trip | First Stop Mexico City (CDMX)
Day one of travel and… absolutely nothing to report. Which honestly, is sometimes exactly what you need. Our flight somehow boarded early, which never happens, but we made it just in time so we’ll call that a win. From there it was a simple reset day...
CDMX Layover | A Slow Travel Day Before the Long Flight
Day two of travel and we decided to actually use our layover in Mexico City in the most us way possible. There are two things the kids consider completely non-negotiable here. First, stopping at El Califa for their beloved jugo de carne and tacos. Se... https://www.instagram.com/p/DMB64R1u4rG/?img_index=1
CDMX Travel Day: Parks, Tacos & 3AM Flight
Day three of travel and we found ourselves in Medellín with a nine hour layover and very little energy after a 3:00am flight out of Mexico City. The original plan was simple. Head into the city, meet up with our friend Juan, grab lunch, and make the ...
Medellín Layover | When a Travel Delay Turns Into an Air Show
Day three, part two, and we were finally on the last stretch into Argentina. We were definitely disappointed to miss seeing our friend Juan during our Medellín layover. The boys were so excited to practice their Spanish with him again, but it just gi...

Day four of travel and we finally had a full day to explore Buenos Aires. We’re staying in Palermo, one of the city’s most vibrant neighborhoods, and it feels like the perfect place to land. Cafes, shops, tree-lined streets, and a steady energy that ... https://www.instagram.com/p/DMHL4L3OhHR/?img_index=1
Buenos Aires Argentina | First Day Exploring Palermo & City Culture
Day five in Buenos Aires ended up being less about exploring and more about figuring things out, which is honestly part of travel too. We started the day dropping off my laptop for repair, which thankfully was fixed quickly, but paying for it was a w...
Buenos Aires Travel Tips | Money, SIM Cards & Daily Life
Day ten and we found ourselves back in Buenos Aires, arriving just before sunrise after another overnight flight. Those early arrivals always feel a bit disorienting. You’re technically in a new day, but your body hasn’t caught up yet. Immigration wa...

Paraguay | First Impressions & City Life
Exploring Paraguay for the first time. Daily life, culture, and honest impressions from one of South America’s least-visited countries.
Day six and we arrived in Asunción, Paraguay, our fourth country in five days, which still feels a little wild to say. Leaving behind the cold, rainy weather in Buenos Aires, we landed to a completely different pace. The flight was short and easy, an... https://www.instagram.com/p/DMMHA6NPAxb/?img_index=1
Asunción Paraguay | First Impressions of the Historic City Center
Day seven in Asunción and the jet lag finally caught up to us. We didn’t get out the door until noon, which meant we had a shorter window to explore, especially since the area we’re staying in is best experienced during the day. The historic center f...
Asunción Paraguay | A City of Contrasts Between Old & New
Day eight in Asunción and we set out with a simple goal… find something to do. We started by walking to Loma San Jerónimo, one of the more colorful parts of the city, known for its painted steps and murals. It had that quiet, almost still feeling you...
Asunción Paraguay | A Slow Day Exploring Loma San Jerónimo & the City
Our final day in Asunción ended up being the most eventful in the most unexpected way. After a week of quiet streets and the constant question of “is this open?”, the city finally showed a different side. We started with lunch at Bolsi, a long-standi...

Buenos Aires | Neighborhoods, Food & Daily Life
Exploring Buenos Aires beyond the highlights. Neighborhoods, food, culture, and everyday moments that shape what the city actually feels like over multiple days.
Day eleven was all about staying local and letting the city unfold at its own pace. We spent most of the day wandering around our neighborhood near Congreso, which is full of beautiful architecture and that old-world feel Buenos Aires is known for. I... https://www.instagram.com/p/DMZNLaDukzk/?img_index=1
Buenos Aires Near Congreso | Cafés, History & a Slow City Day
La Boca was one of those places that immediately feels different the second you arrive. Color everywhere. Buildings, benches, balconies, it all feels bold and a little chaotic in the best way. Walking through Caminito feels less like sightseeing and ... https://www.instagram.com/p/DMbkbzWPcZV/?img_index=1
La Boca Buenos Aires | Caminito, Street Life & Local Flavor
Day thirteen and the weather made the plan for us. With temperatures hovering around 7°C, it turned into a full indoor day. We headed to Abasto Shopping, which is actually more interesting than it first appears. Before it was a mall, this building wa...
Abasto Shopping Buenos Aires | Indoor Day, History & Family Fun
Day fourteen started simple. Drop off laundry. That was the plan. Somehow that turned into walking across a huge stretch of Buenos Aires. We made our way to Barrio Chino, which felt packed and chaotic in a way that completely shifted the energy of th...
Barrio Chino to Recoleta | Walking Across Buenos Aires
Day fifteen had a bit of everything. Culture, food, and one very expensive walk among Argentina’s most notable residents… past and present. We started at El Ateneo Grand Splendid, a former theatre turned bookstore, and it really does live up to the h... https://www.instagram.com/p/DMjdsiaumLH/?img_index=1
