Around the world itinerary!

Hi,
Me and my amigo Claire have started an epic journey around the world starting in South America. Quit our jobs and living the dream! Here is our very brief itinerary for the next few months, our plans aren't very exact! We started 2 months ago in Argentina,Buenos Aires then travelled to Uruguay,Montevideo by boat then to Iguazu Falls Argentina&Brasil then Rio de Janeiro by bus, Sao Paulo, Paraty, Ilha Grande, Pantanal and Brasilia.

We are now in Colombia and are staying in a hostel in a coffee plantation region for a couple of days. We flew to Cartagena Colombia from Brasil and travelled to Medellin then Bogota. From here tomorrow evening we are going to Cali to do lots of Salsa dancing! then to San Augustin.

We cross the border into Ecuador to go to Quito and visit volcanoes and markets and more colonial buildings and take some spanish lessons! Travel down through Ecuador to Peru.

We then visit Peru, Lima, Cusco where I'm doing voluntary work in art workshops for 2 weeks with children and Claire is going to Easter Island We are meeting friends in Peru and doing Machu Piccu!

We then join a 10 day tour in Bolivia and go to La Paz, Salt flats, Lake Titicaca. Travel then to Chile and Patagonia *speak some welsh! and visit some glaciers. We then fly out of Santiago to New Zealand.

We plan to work in New Zealand for a month or so and then Fiji and Australia, Sydney to Bridbane. From Brisbane we fly to Singapore and travel Thailand. We fly out of Bangkok to London then home! Phew!

We are staying mostly in hostels and occasionally couch surf for free at friends to travel as cheaply as possible!

If you have any tips or travel advice please let us know!
