Edit Blog Post
Hello again!
It's been a few years since I last posted on this blog. In the meantime, me and my girlfriend Rachael have somehow managed to scrimp and save enough to do it all over again - this time in South America.
I've always wanted to visit South America. From history and culture to wine and football, so many things seem to draw me towards that part of the world. Over the course of the next six months (money permitting), I'll be exploring all of the above and hopefully a good deal more besides.
The plan as it stands is to visit six countries - Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil - although you can get a more detailed idea of where we're heading by checking out our
South America travel map. I'm limiting myself to one post per country so you don't need to worry about getting swamped with updates. And there'll be plenty of photos in each post too, although they may take a bit longer to upload - backpacking internet cafes are generally atrocious.
Oh, if you found me via an email alert, I should probably explain. Once again, I've invited friends and family based on who's expressed an interest or who I think might be interested. And once again, I'm sure I'll have got this wrong in some cases. So if you'd like to be added or removed from the mailing list, just drop me a message and I'll get it sorted.
Also, feel free to post a comment if you've got any thoughts or travel suggestions over the next few months - all advice gratefully received!
Right, that's all for now. Here's hoping you find the blog interesting.
See you soon,
Richard

Hello, from you first TravelBlog follower! :)
''...if you've got any thoughts or travel suggestions...'' I loved Punta del Diablo, when I was in Uruguay. I recommend it, if you like the idea of a little fishing village by the sea. It has still got what is good about a remote place, but with some fairly recently added backpacker comfort, such as hostels and a few restaurants(or more accurately, shacks that serve food). The hostels are right by the sea and most/all have lovely views from many of their windows. http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/blog-457996.html
