Our intention for this website is to provide free help for people coming to South America either on a short trip, a long journey, or to live here for a while.
It is a collection of useful information and tips about this fascinating continent that many times you won't be able to find in the your typical guide book. It is a compilation of my own experience of living here and travelling around the continent over the last 13 years as well as the experience of others.
Being in a totally foreign country where they speak a different language can be daunting, especially if you don't know a single thing about the place or its people. That's where we hope to be able to help you by giving you some tips and general advice so that your experience here in South America will be more rewarding.
