Background: So about 4 years ago I moved from NY to London for work. Well now I am thinking its time to move on and head somewhere else. Job has been getting on my nerves and I could use a break. So...time for more advice!
Anyways, I've traveled a lot of Europe over the 4 years and wanted to try to go to South America before I decide where I am going to settle next. Might head to Asia, Aus or even just back to London or NY. However, I do want to travel. I plan on doing this sometime in November as I have to give notice for a few things in London as well as sort out a few things.
So figured I'd ask if anyone has done it before. Or anyone that lives in SA can give some advice?
What are the must sees in every country? I want to hit them all
Is there any places I should avoid? An area that isn't safe?
Any must eats? or hotels worth staying at?
Hows the transport system between countries?
I know Brazil and Argentina are going to be the most expensive, any cheap towns or cities I should go to?
Any good dive sites? I am going to hit the Galapagos when I am there.
Any must do tours? I know there are some 10 day hikes that I want to do.
Any travel essentials that would be appropriate for South America?
I'll expand on this as I plan more. Right now its been in the back of my head and I've decided to take action. Over the next few months I'll be selling most of my possessions again (did the same when I moved to London). I'll probably start a blog or something as I get going.
Look forward to hearing all the advice and I am sure I will have plenty of questions as things keep going.
Right now I have the following booked:
November 13th -> Train to Paris
November 17th -> Flight to Estonia
November 17th-27th -> Drive from Estonia to Lithuania
November 27th -> Flight to NY from Lithuania ... To go home for Thanksgiving
