When I was travelling through South America, part of my plan included visiting Paraguay. For me it was a no brainer. It was on my route, so why wouldn’t I visit a new country? However, it wasn’t until I arrived that I found out it’s not a popular country among other travellers. Most miss it due to either visa issues or they simply don’t think there’s much to see.

When I travelled to Africa last year the one thing I desperately wanted to see was the wildlife. So much so that the only real planning I did was to Google search ‘best places to see lions in southern Africa’. In my three months in and around South Africa I visited several national parks, including four incredible safari experiences.

During my travels I’ve seen some of the best waterfalls in the world. Niagara Falls, Victoria Falls (the world’s largest waterfall) and Gullfoss in Iceland. As stunning as Victoria Falls was, for me Iguazu Falls in South America was even better.
