Journey With Jess Jones

It’s hard to believe that one year ago I left Australia on a one way ticket to South America with nothing more than a backpack and an open mind. With no real plans, no expectations, I set foot on my 6th continent arriving first in Santiago, Chile….12 months, 8 countries, thousands of photos, hundreds of amazing people and countless of incredible experiences later, I find myself here in Peru taking some solo time to reflect on one hell of a Read more…

A South American Concept; in fact, a widely accepted concept of doing things for the simple reason that YOU CAN…but really, WHY NOT??? Why Not set out with a backpack, a one way ticket, and open mind? Why Not have another…aguardiente in Colombia, Cana in Ecuador, Pisco in Chile, Fernet in Argentina, Capirinha in Brazil…well, you get the idea.

  Goodbye Rio! I left Brazil bronzed and baffled, sunkissed and full of stories, slightly heart-broken , certainly more broke than ever before, about 100 caipirinhas too many, a beach-bum, an acai, coconut and euro shorts addict, I’ve embraced my afro, wear nothing but havaianas, can feel the samba music inside (dancing is still another story) and have one hell of a desire to remain in Rio as a wannabe Carioca forever!!   See, I am a Carioca…I even have the T-shirt!
