Day 43 and 44 We were lucky - a hotel gave us a rental car for 50 euros a day. Was there insurance? I have no idea, I don't understand Spanish. But everything went without any...

After a mixed night on the bus, we arrived in Antofagasta early in the morning feeling a bit tired. We took a taxi to the airport to pick up our rental car because we had...

The best news of the day was that we didn't have to be at the port until nine o'clock instead of 8:00 am. But it didn't really matter because our neighbors were playing loud...

Getting up was hard. Our first thought was about the poor people at home who have to get up so early every day. Our second thought was: Oh no, we'll experience that again...

Strong coffee for breakfast... Let's go! Rain all day. ...fool around a bit for good mood ...and suddenly the...

It's not that easy to get to Patagonia. If you look at the map, it looks quite isolated and rugged. That's why you don't have many options, either by plane or ferry. I chose the...

There is so much on the list of things to do, see, and try. It's best not to start Googling what to do here, but to ask around and do what is recommended. Due to the...

The South America adventure starts in Santiago, Chile, with super nice people, plenty of sunshine, and a language course.

Finally, I'm heading to Valparaíso, about 100 km away from Santiago de Chile, the capital city. The port city on the Pacific Ocean is known for its hills, with over three dozen...

Yayyy! A travel blog! I'll give it a try since quite a few people in Germany are excited and it will make it easier for them to send me individual messages. Maybe it will also...

With a flight from Punta Arenas to Puerto Montt and a short bus ride, I now go to the middle of the country (or to the small south) to Puerto Varas. Fantastic weather welcomes...
