The Americas
South and Central America made their entrance into our story in the most unexpected way. We kicked things off in Antarctica of all places, which still feels a little surreal to even type. Since we were already on that side of the planet, we did what any dedicated travellers do when an opportunity presents itself. We stepped through that door, transforming one remarkable arrival into months of exploration across the Americas.
“From ice to jungle, the Americas feel like a book with a thousand chapters”
There’s a beautiful rawness to travelling in this part that makes you fully appreciate just how small you are. Patagonia in Argentina was filled with wild winds and sweeping horizons. La Paz in Bolivia had you seeing the spilling down the mountainside in every direction, vibrant and chaotic. I remember the altitude both there and in Cusco turning even a simple walk into an exciting, albeit breathless, adventure.
Above all, the place that touched my heart the most was Peru. We spent an entire month in Cusco, and it gave us some of our most cherished memories from the continent. Those local experiences that make it feel so personal – walking alongside alpacas, spending quality time with a local family, all that good stuff.
