As with most international adventures, a trip through South America should include copious amounts of eating. This continent is certain not to disappoint no matter what your tastes (but it would hopefully include a fondness for red meat and wine). Buenos Aires, Argentina is one of the most metropolitan and beautiful cities in the world. Not only is it full of incredible museums, parks, street art, and cafes but the food is fantastic.

Five Great Drives Around the World
Just like a garden is only as good as its soil, or a place is only as good as it’s people, a car is only as good as the road underneath it and whether you’re into grand tourers, sporty hatchbacks or just bundling the family into the back of the MPV, seeking out great roads can make a long drive into an epic adventure! The only real question is where to find these fabulous drives, and to help you get on your way, here’s GoMotorTrade’s guide to the … [Read more...]
Destination: Buenos Aires, Argentina
I could see myself, watching myself. An “out of body experience,” they call it. I was naked, wallowing hysterically in the crisp, clean, white sheets of the king-sized bed in my Marriott hotel room.

Abundant bodegas were filled to the brim with candy brands foreign and domestic; chocolate … [Read more...]

The Power & Beauty of Sub Saharan Africa
Upon finalizing my flights to South Africa from Bangkok, I told a good friend who has traveled extensively in Africa that I would kiss the African soil for him. He replied, "Kiss Africa's ground for me, but remember: Africa always wins. No matter how much you try to make sense of all the nonsense, it'll never make sense. Thus Africa wins." Winning or not, the unpredictability of adventure travel in Sub Saharan Africa has always appealed to me … [Read more...]
Enjoying Victoria Falls…as in the Waterfalls
Just like with the Iquazu Falls in South America where you can enjoy views from two countries (Brazil & Argentina), its the same here between Zimbabwe and Zambia. We entered the Falls National Park on the Zimbabwe side and surprisingly had the trails and viewpoints all to ourselves for the better part of 3 hours.

Iguazu Falls – March 2011
