South America! Why?

 

This is often the reaction I hear when I tell people that I will be travelling around South America on my own for the next 8 months. Yes, South America does have more than it's fair share of problems, crime and corruption but what country doesn't? I would prefer to focus on what this incredible continent has to offer. The passionate people, the vibrant culture, and the love for music, dance, fiestas and food. Home to the Andes, the Amazon and Angel Falls. Machu Picchu, the Galapagos Islands, Iguazu Falls amoung hundreds of hidden gems and wonders of the world. The birthplace of samba, salsa, tango, caipirinhas, carnival and more importantly, Che Guevara. 

 

So in response to everyones question... South America. Why not?!
