The video clips of the whales were amazing

Hi! I'm thinking of taking the Peru trip with EF. What month did you go and how was the weather?

they are so close to humans.........amazing experience.😃😃

Hello, how's your dog now? Mine is a senior dog too, 11yrs old. 😊

The room is such a generous size 🤩

Thank you for sharing this.

Now week 2, my skin has exploded. I am hoping for a good end result.

Doing the Best of Spain in August, it's nice to hear someone's insight into the realities of a Contiki trip 😊

Fennec foxes. Did you get to hold one? They're SO soft!

The light brown creature with a stripe down its back? That's a klnkajou, a member of the raccoon family.. They're found all over Central America.

EF is very expensive now and doesn’t offer much in return. You have to pay extra for added basic excursions that other tours can include. Thx

Your baby will feel your emotional status. Please please project positive vibes and loving ness to help them 🙏 ❤️

It's OK. Your baby will be fine when it's done with Darling. ❤🎉

😢 I came to this video through Lola’s cataract surgery video. I was hoping to hear she was still doing well in her senior years. I am deeply sorry to hear that she passed and I hope one year out, you are feeling some sort of peace.❤🙏

what an amazing experience - thanks for documenting

Hey, are you still on Spiro?

Do you think it’s good to go on a contiki at 28? Would I be too old for it?

Is it true that the people who do Contiki specifically are Australian?

You're so gorgeous and thank you!!!!! <3

EF is now 18-35! That's a big age difference. Like you don't want a single 19 year old girl with some 35 year old men. IDK. My concerns

I'm from Jordan 🇯🇴 and your lucky you get to go anywhere i wish i can go to tanzania and Kenya, 🦓🦒 your vlog is so entertaining to watch its very enjoyable i love your vlog and god bless 🙌 💖

I love kenya 🇰🇪 i wish i can go there its just like the lion king its my favorite movie and i love african animals 🦓🦓🐘🐘🦒🦒🐃🐃🦏🦏🦛🦛

The idea of taking the medication once or twice after a course comes from you or a doctors ,and if it’s came from you did the doctor minds? cause iam like you I don’t wanna take a life long daily spironolactone 🥲 pls answer 😔😔😔

Did you get the Yellow Fever vaccine? I'm leaving in a couple weeks and keep hearing mixed messaged. Sounds like it's not required for US citizens so I'm really hoping that's true. Thank you for this video, it's relaly helpful to hear a confirmation the last day is a free day so I can in fact plan for that.

I love my Nordace Siena backpack too! I have the classic/original in light pink and then the 15-inch Pro in blue.

Thank you for sharing. Happy I found this. I am trying to make a decision on whether to proceed or not with cataract surgery on my almost 15 year Shih-tzu. She has a mature cataract in her right eye and a middle sized one in her left. Doctor said due to her age, if I choose surgery, best to do both eyes. I was wondering how to feed her with the cone of shame, you answered that one. Hope all went well with you dog.

This was so helpful. Watching this before we leave tomorrow and I’m making some last second small changes. Thank you!

Did I miss this. But how old is she when she had it?

Hey Katherine! Was waiting to see this post trip report. Sounds like you had your ups, downs and in-betweens on your EF Ultimate Break Patagonia tour. But overall, a very fun experience! Glad you enjoyed your trip. I agree on your comparison with Europe: some parts of the world have way more English speakers and are easier to plan yourself than others. That phone story does sound shocking. I remember you mentioning it during your series. Glad you didn't lose it. Note to self, get a strap or pop socket for my own phone before vacations! Argentina is one of my bucket list destinations, and I've been reading the inflation rate issues they've been dealing with. Cash is still king it seems, so American and maybe exchanging some money before you arrive might be the way to go. I've also heard that Western Union is pretty popular to use in South America. Did you see them in Chile and your other South America trips as well, or was it more obviously visible in Argentina? Thanks for giving your thoughts, Katherine. Looking forward to seeing your adventures in Argentina, including the Uruguay boat ride you mentioned, and your Antarctica cruise. Take care and have a great week! 👍😀

Hey Katherine. You finally made it to Buenos Aires! ... Was that Minecraft on your TV in the hotel? That's amazing Sounds like you had a great time seeing the beautiful bookstore and going on the bike and cemetery tours, minus the mosquitoes. That tango/musical performance looked fun too. I can imagine having those insects biting all the time was absolutely nerve-wracking and painful. Luckily you (hopefully) got some relief in that cream you bought. I'd love to see a video on what are your favorite websites/companies to book day tours on when you solo travel. If you're up for a challenge, there's loads of group tour companies who offer biking trips across countries. G Adventures and Intrepid come to mind, although I believe Contiki has a few as well. Hope you have fun on the Uruguay boat tour! Enjoy the rest of your time in Argentina and see you in the next one! 😃👍

Are you riding in the bus more in contiki or ef ultimate travel?I get car sick I can't stay in a vechicle to much.

The UN did not create a tourist area. When i was statione in the DMZ there was one bridge over the Imjin, with one place where tourist to go. The could not see N. Korea. Since we patrolled in the winter, spring thru fall we would go south of the river to train.

Physical books ... No contest.

Scheduled our surgery for next week!!!! Thanks for documenting this.

Please, the current Application fee waiver

I noticed you're on the same trip as Elizabeth Clem. It's so good to have 2 different perspectives of the same trip 🤗

I know this is a 2 month old video, but regardless I wanted to leave a comment here. I can't believe you've already been to so many countries! I've traveled a bit and I've only been to like, 13 outside of the US. Would love to double that list by 2030! (giving myself a little bit of leeway on the years there lol) I do hope that eventually that Russia will be safe to come back to again. I've been there several times (Russian background here as well, have family there, used to go frequently to see them and took some tours with some American friends a few times who wanted to see it years ago, though it wasn't anything special - Moscow and St. Petersburg only. But for first timers, it's beautiful and the white nights are gorgeous in St.Petersburg) and I can't go back now due to the unfortunate ongoing current situation, though I'd like to when it stops and places (tour agencies, etc) and people are open to going there again. It is beautiful, despite the government and how they act. Outside of that, do you have any recommendations for people who don't quality for Ultimate Break or Contiki because they might not be in that advertised age range? / have you taken tours with any other companies?

A friend sent me to Contiki website.Then I find out I’m to old.What other companies are there for older folks like myself?

Great job, Katherine! 11 miles and 1500 calories, uphill and downhill, is no joke! Kudos to the achievement. You definitely earned that Coke Zero! FOMO has such a negative impact on people's enjoyment of their trips, and can make any trip feel lesser. But listening to your body and knowing your limits is so much more important. And there's nothing to feel bad about after hiking for that long through multiple terrains and beautiful sights with a big, albeit tired, smile 👍 Just a question: do you have an arm strap for your phone when you're filming? I think you mentioned that your camera comes with a neck strap, but I can imagine filming in 1 hand on uneven terrain while keeping your balance can be a struggle. Can't wait for part 6 in Buenos Aires. Hope you're having fun in Argentina and that you have fun on your Antarctica cruise! Take care 😃

Absolutely loved this video! Please do more Europe tips and tricks ❤

Hey Katherine. Great new video. Short and sweet, showing the small town vibes of El Chalten. I can imagine having what amounts to 3 days of hiking in Patagonia in a row would be both exhilarating and exhausting. 1 more video for the series finale! You've done a great job showing your EF Ultimate Break Patagonia tour. Looking forward to seeing your large hike and adventures in Bueno Aires! Keep up the great work Katherine! Happy travels 😃👍

What is the night life like with the group did the people you were with want to party? I’m looking at going to coasta rica

Hey Katherine. And here we are in Argentina, country #60 of your travel journey. Wow- a nice dinner, Tango show and secret musical performance all rolled into one. Talk about a welcome to El Calafate, Argentina for you and your group. We switch over to Perito Moreno glacier in the national park. Very beautiful. Most people don't think of glaciers as anything but white and translucent, and yet you've shown 2 with that distinct Arctic/Antarctic ice colour during your trip. Also, those gripons were quite something. Up here in CAN we have ones similar to the pair you've bought, but never one that give you an extra 2 inches in height. I can imagine trying to hike around in them, on a glacier, in fear of falling, getting wet or slipping while going downhill would be quite an ordeal. I suppose it would make the most sense to have a travel day followed by an activity day. ANd to top it off, ice cream and memorabilia shopping. Keep up the great work, Katherine! Looking forward to seeing what other adventures you get up to in Argentina 😃👍 Enjoy the rest of your trip!

hi i want to know which ef tour you go on and recommend??

I’m going on my first Contiki trip this October to Italy and I’m so excited!

Hi Katherine, Thank you for this video! Your doggie is so adorable & sweet! My SO & I rescue senior pups so we are learning quite a lot about older dogs and a variety of illnesses (our last little angel had CKD), but we haven't yet dealt with cataracts surgery & blindness. We have an appointment with a surgeon in a couple of weeks & hoping for the best. This video helps. Thanks again :)

beautiful video 😊❤

is that the XXL or 45 liters? '
