Patagonia—probably the most challenging and rewarding part of our trip so far! We spent five days trekking through the Torres del Paine National Park, camping every night and living off MREs for lunch and dinner (oatmeal for breakfast, nothing fancy). Surprisingly, the meals were better than we expected! Even though camping isn’t typically Shelly’s thing […]
We spent three days at Valle Nevado, and while the skiing was just okay, the views made it totally worth the trip! Jared hit the slopes while I soaked in the scenery, and we both came away loving the mountain for different reasons. The skiing itself wasn’t the most exciting—Valle Nevado’s a pretty small mountain,

Nestled in the heart of the city, Tango Porteño offers a perfect blend of history, passion, and artistry, making it a must-see for anyone visiting Buenos Aires. The performance was nothing
We recently had the pleasure of experiencing a night of ballet at the legendary Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, and it was absolutely unforgettable.

We recently took a day trip from Buenos Aires to Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay, and it was an absolute delight! The journey across the Río de la Plata was smooth, and before we knew it, we were stepping into the charming, historic streets of Colonia. Colonia del Sacramento is like stepping back in time. The

If there’s one thing we can’t get enough of in Buenos Aires, it’s the beef. Seriously, the beef here is on another level, and we’ve been eating so much of it that we’re starting to wonder if we’ll ever be satisfied with steaks anywhere else! The parrillas (steakhouses) in Buenos Aires are legendary, and for
