Travel • Food • Culture • Community | Singaporean couple backpacking across Central & South America. Find your escape!
Hi there! We are John and Jocelyn, a couple from the sunny (and humid) island of Singapore. We're currently traveling across Latin America and would love to share our adventure with you!
In May 2022, we decided to quit our corporate jobs and booked a one way ticket to explore the world! We will be spending the next few months travelling across Latin America to learn about the culture, taste the foods, and help the communities wherever we can. We hope to gain some new perspectives, connections, and a little bit of creativity.
Our goal is to inspire you to be courageous, to break free of your expectations and chase your dreams. In the end, you only regret the chances you didn't take.

CRAZY FLOATING ISLANDS OF UROS 🇵🇪 (48 hours on LAKE TITICACA)
I spent a year wandering around west AFrica. ATMS were few and far between in 2001. I had to carry a lot of cash. I had a tailor sew secret stash pockets in various items of clothing. I always carried a sacrificial wallet with enough cash in it that if I got mugged I could hand that over and avoid being patted down. Nothing ever happened to me though but I did have a bag stolen out of a hotel room.
Nice.The guaguas are meant to be eaten and you can collect and play whit the little masks.😊
Oh we should have tried it!
Almost all of those street foods sealers ARE NOT FROM CHILE.!!! And they food are also NOT FROM CHiLE.!!! They are so bloody immigrants who are destroying CHILE.!! 🤨😡😡😡
That big dog passed away a couple of months ago 😢 he was a comunitary dog here in Puerto Natales, lived in the streeet but was feeded and was cared for the citizens here, his name was Copito or Cabezon, so sad for it....
Oh no! 😢 I’m sure he was loved by all
Felicitaciones realizaron un hermoso circuito saludos desde puerto natales
Gracias! Thank you for watching our video! 🥰
ghhhhh the statue of the miner, it usted to be in other place but they changed it a few years ago, I was mad because he looked more like he was shooting someone
It still looks like he’s shooting someone 😅
Dear tourist friends welcome to my beloved white city of Arequipa, I am very happy that you have enjoyed the hospitality, the beautiful landscapes of the city and above all that you have enjoyed the typical Arequipa flavor, you are already experts in typical Arequipa foods I send you a big hug
Thank you! We loved Arequipa - beautiful city, friendly people and amazing food!! 🥰🥰
Some of them Empanadas you guys had are definitely not the typical Chilean Empanadas, you definitely tried the Venezuela style Empanadas, the typical Chilean Empanadas are called Empanadas de Pino, de queso, and mariscos, also, most if not all the street food being sold in shopping carts are from any other Latin American country but Chile, all in all it was a good fun video, and i'm glad you liked the mote con Huesillo, which is also my favorite summer time drink, saludos 🙋🏻♂️
Hi! Could you tell me more about your sleeping bag? Brand, quality and secifications. Next summer I am going to El chalten
Gracias por visitar mi ciudad ...
🥰🙋♀️
a dish my mom always made was cazuela and cake mil ojas i miss the chilean food
😋😋😋 sounds delicious!
Hola chicos!, siempre viví en Buenos Aires y desde hace algunos años veo exclusivamente YT, veo muchos vlogs de viajes de turistas extranjeros de muchos países, que vienen a Buenos Aires, pero nunca había escuchado decir que algunas de las comidas porteñas (pizza fugazetta, submarino, etc.) son comida para "niños". Bueno, muy bien, puede ser una opinión genial, viniendo de habitantes de un país donde se come "muy picante" que es algo muy raro de encontrar en Argentina toda !. Ok, espero que disfruten o hayan disfrutado su visita que me alegra mucho !. Un gran saludo desde Buenos Aires !.
Thank you for watching and your comment! We have never eaten Argentina food before, but as you can see from the video, we LOVED IT 🥰😋
Excellent❤🎉
🥰😋☺️
Los queso helados de la calle son feos, me da pena como engañan a los extranjeros.
Finally someone noticing Bolivian food,as an Italian/Bolivian I approve👍🏼
🥰😋
man as a peruvian myself who grew up there (in the US now) you need to try Churros in Lima... those churros are fake af lol
Did you use credit card most of time or cash exchanged on black mkt?
We used cash as much as possible! Exchanged at the “blue market” rate 😅🤔
@jjescapes isnt the visa MEP rate pretty close to blue mkt rate now. Im very confused as some say thi gs have changed and visa rate pretty close now as opposed to 1 yr ago where changing cash on street much better. They say you must pay Vat tax if paying hotel by cash which is 21%.
Shit country
FRISBY IS VERY GOOD.
😋😋😋😋
When I was a little kid my brother offered 2 Soles for eating and entire rocoto, and I accepted. My head was burning guys, but it sounds funny now. BTW you two are so lovely.
😂 even eating half we almost died 🥵 thanks for watching!
Did we miss anything? Let us know! We’ve purposely left out one very special Argentinian food which will be in our video next week! 🇦🇷 See if you can guess what it is! 🐮
Guys - this is the best video out there!! We are going next year so thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching! You’ll have an amazing time ☺️
When did you go? What month
This was in the month of September! Technically the start of the rainy season, but as you can see we still got pretty good weather!
@jjescapes awesome..we'll go in late April hopefully we get good weather! Thanks for reply..all the best
@brianardon1370 enjoy your trip!
My advice is if you go to Santiago be careful with your smartphones and cameras there're so many thief from Venezuela, Colombia and Haiti. The local people are very quiet, warm and friendly but, for an average tourist who goes without any information it is difficult to distinguish the difference between one and the other and sometimes because of them we look very bad to the tourists.
Thank you for showing the food name clearly plus the explanation of what it is. That makes those foods much easier to find and ask for.
Thanks for watching! Glad we could help! The food in Arequipa is amazing 🥰😋

Can you imagine that you only taste 1% of tipically dishes that we have here? I'm Happy you have enjoyed your visit. Saludos desde Arequipa - Perú. 🫡🌋
Amazing place 🥰🥰😋😋
Thanks for coming to Peru. I have a question for you. How many peruvians have you seen at the line of Al Toke Pez? When i was there. I was the only one and few latinos that went there because of Netflix. I tried it and I give it a 5/10 to the fried "calamari" and a 4/10 to the "paella", and a 2/10 to the ceviche. Don't believe Netflix guys. Ask real locals.
Hi, this was a prefect opening ! With all the shots at 2:49 wow wow wow you captured this so well ! The water, snow and kayak! We are really impressed well done all the best Chelsea and Mike
Thanks so much for watching! 🥰🥰 Antarctica is basically cheating, everywhere you point your camera is beautiful ☺️
Great video! We just booked our O Circuit hike!
Congrats! Hope this video was helpful 🥰
Bro hope that penguin gets accepted
Careful with ROCOTO, looks like bell pepper but it taste nothing like pepper, it can very spicy for some tourist with low tolerance
Wish you warned us earlier 😅🥵
Thank you for visit, I’m from Arequipa really enjoyed your video eating arequipean food
Thanks for watching! We loved Arequipa 🥰
Brave travelers!
Thank you ☺️☺️
Thank you ☺️☺️
Good review 😊
Thanks for watching! 🥰
Do you have some tips about poincenot camping?
It’s the perfect place to camp if you want to get to Laguna de Los Tres at sunrise! Free campsite, no reservations required, water nearby. Bring your own tent or rent one from El Chalten. Let me know if u have any other questions!
Hi !!!! Very good vídeo…. Where did you buy freeze dried food? Is there at supermarket in Elchalten?
Thanks for watching! We brought the freeze dried food from home - difficult to find in South America. But there is a full supermarket in El Chalten 👍
Why i have the feeling i saw exactly the same as Netflix
Tártara sauce for the cheese tequeños
Que rica la comida chilena 😍💯🇨🇱
😋😋😋
Amazing
Hey nice video, it reminds me when I did the O + W in april of last year. About the Flies, during my trekking I didn't see any insect of any kind, maybe is a seasonal thing!
Thanks for watching! Probably seasonal, we were there in the month of November 🪰
