It's hard to believe that we've been in South America for almost 3 months now (!!), but the best may be yet to come. We have just arrived in Rio de Janeiro for ...
Travelling through South America on an American passport has caused me endless annoyance, mostly because my travel partner is using his Finnish passport to eith...
