South America Surprised Me, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil

Three countries. Three completely different experiences. Come with me through Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil as I explore South America—from the streets and history of Buenos Aires, across to Uruguay, and into Rio de Janeiro and some of the most memorable experiences of the entire journey. There were iconic places like Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain and Iguazú Falls, but this trip also brought unexpected moments, powerful history, incredible people and a few things I definitely didn't plan for. That's what I love about travel. You can plan where you're going—but you never really know what a place is going to give you until you get there. Welcome to another adventure with Life in Purple. If you're building a life filled with travel, discovery and new experiences—at any age—subscribe and come along.
