A quick newsletter this week
Dear Friends and Family,
This week's newsletter looks a little different!
Real-time update: We're currently somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean on the very final leg of our trip around the world to all seven continents. We can't wait to tell you about this portion of our travels, but for now, we're still covering South America.
And unfortunately for this newsletter, we have extremely limited (and slow) data service.
I was able to upload some photos to our website before we left, so we published a couple of articles to round out our coverage of Patagonia and Antarctica this week.
We covered information that we frankly found hard to find when planning our trip to Patagonia and Torres del Paine. I hope you enjoy the behind-the-scenes detail, and I hope another traveler on the internet is able to use our information to make their lives a bit easier.
Here are some quick links. Click through and read away!
- A Review of Camping at Refugio Chileno in Torres Del Paine, Chile
- A Review of Camping at Refugio Torre Central in Torres Del Paine, Chile
- How to Use Points & Miles to Fly to Ushuaia, Argentina
We'll be back next week with a regular newsletter about Santiago, Chile!
All our love,
Perry and Pete

Perhaps the number one reason why Machu Picchu has captured international attention is because no one really knows why this small city was abandoned. After...
Dear friends and family, You might remember that our trip to Peru didn’t exactly end the way we hoped it would. Yet despite our misadventures with political turmoil here, Peru was Perry’s favorite part of our travels through South America. (Pete’s was the cruise to Antarctica, which, fair.) Peru was amazing. It had the travel trifecta: fantastic food, amazing ancient ruins and culture, and cheap prices. What more could you want? We hope to return to the Sacred Valley in the future, and yes,...
Dear Friends and Famdamily, Chile was a delight! We weren’t sure how much more beauty we could find after the stunning Torres del Paine, but Chile had something to offer around every corner. We had about one week left to explore Chile, so we (begrudgingly) left Patagonia and headed to Santiago, the capital city, to explore vineyards, dormant volcanoes, and our favorite part, the colorful seaside towns of Valparaíso and Viña del Mar. In the vein that catastrophe seemingly follows us to places...
