Telegram is a messenger where I post short travel notes. This page is a self-hosted backup of that channel.

So I just realized I have a Telegram channel, and I haven't posted anything here in forever. I'm going to skip a couple of quick trips I took through Bosnia and Serbia for now—I'll tell you about those later. I've got some more interesting stuff to share.

I ended up in this charming province called Jujuy way up in the north of Argentina. In the Southern Hemisphere, everything's backwards—the north is warm and the south is freezing. I even asked some locals about it, and they told me that when they think of the south, they don't picture beaches and warmth, but frost and glaciers. It's definitely noticeably warmer here than in the rest of the country. And the views are absolutely breathtaking literally at every turn. It feels like someone once held a nature exhibition here and just forgot to take the exhibits away.

Everything is concentrated along Argentina's most famous and longest route—Route 40. I drove about 300 kilometers of the over 5,000 total, but the landscape kept changing so dramatically I barely recognized it. You could stop and take pictures every hundred meters or so.
