Have you ever wondered how come some of your friends spend most of their time traveling while still keeping up with school or work (not mention without spending all their money while doing so)? Perhaps you’re one of them, and if so, please give us your secret! But let’s go back. Whenever I see pictures on Instagram of them posing on incredible and iconic spots, I feel a bit jealous and picture myself traveling the world while also documenting it on my own profile.
The truth is that most of us have to plan ahead our vacations and think wisely where do we want to spend those precious days. Of course, that doesn’t have to be a negative thing, because this allows you to explore many corners of the world via the Internet to make a wise and informed decision. If you’re actually looking for great and unique places, let me tell you that Latin America can be the best option for you. Encompassing from the northern Mexican border to the last point of the continent, in southern Argentina and Chile, Latin America is as wide as diverse, giving you thousands of options to capture those special moments with breathtaking landscapes.
