Other than some of my Dutch friends, I barely know anyone who has visited Suriname, which is one of the reasons I decided to stop by during my trip around South America.

Located just 3 hours south of Paramaribo, Brownsberg sits atop a forested plateau overlooking the massive Brokopondo Reservoir.

Originally, I didn't plan to visit Suriname at all during my second 5-month trip around South and Central America.

Brazil had been high on my bucket list for years, and when I finally had the chance to visit the country properly, as I had technically been to Brazil 10 years earlier when I crossed the border from Argentina at Iguazu Falls for a day, I decided to dedica…

Belém was one of the biggest surprises of my trip in Brazil.

There are a few reasons why travelers might find themselves in São Luís, the capital of Maranhão State in northeastern Brazil.

When most people think of Brazil, places like Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, and Iguazu Falls often come to mind.

While Rio de Janeiro is known for its iconic beaches and São Paulo for its sprawling urban landscape, Salvador stands out for its colorful colonial streets, rich Afro-Brazilian heritage, lively music scene, and some of the best food in the country.

Out of all the places I visited in Brazil, Chapada Diamantina is hands down my favorite.

If there is one reason to travel all the way to Belo Horizonte in Minas Gerais, it is Inhotim, one of the best art museums in the world that is part contemporary art museum, part botanical garden, and part open-air park.

I initially didn't plan to visit Belo Horizonte, which, unbeknownst to me, is the sixth-largest city in Brazil and the country's third-largest metropolitan area, home to more than 6.4 million people.

I think Ouro Preto might be one of the most beautiful colonial towns in Brazil, and I've spent over a month exploring this vast country.

So, you just got yourself the incredible Sony a7V and are now looking for the perfect lenses to pair with it for your next trip?

Looking to visit Praia do Sono as a day trip from Paraty?

With its beautifully preserved colonial streets, lush rainforest-covered mountains, stunning tropical beaches, island-filled bays, and laid-back atmosphere, Paraty is easily one of the most relaxing destinations in Brazil.

After more than a decade since my last trip to South America, I finally made it to Brazil this time around, starting with Rio de Janeiro, and honestly, I could not have asked for a better city to begin the journey.

It's been years since I last visited Buenos Aires, and I recently had the chance to spend more time here again during my trip to Antarctica.

Sony has one of the best mirrorless camera lineups out there, and with the constant release of their new mirrorless cameras, the Alpha series that combines professional functionality in a smaller compact body, each year, there are more options for you to…

Right at the edge of the world, on the southern tip of the South American continent, you will find a small city called Ushuaia, which is often either the endpoint of many South American trips or the beginning of a trip of a lifetime to Antarctica.

I finally did it!

From the stunning landscapes of Patagonia to the desert northwest and the lush green jungles of the northeast, Argentina, and Chile are two of the most beautiful countries you can visit in South America.

Ok, let's get this out of the way: visiting Antarctica is expensive.

If you’re looking for a China itinerary that takes you to the usual tourist attractions like the Great Wall or the Terracotta Army in Xi’an, then this itinerary is NOT for you.

Out of all the places I visited in China, Yading Scenic Area in the southwestern province of Sichuan is hands down my favorite.

If you are planning to visit Sichuan in China, you are going to want to check out Jiuzhaigou, one of China's most breathtaking natural reserves, famous for its crystal-clear turquoise lakes, multi-tiered waterfalls, and dramatic snow-capped peaks.
