Saw your profile today as Featured Traveler. I'm about to move back to Charleston after a 5-year stint in China, but I'm returning home via Barcelona. Do you have any tips/suggestions that I won't find in the guidebooks?

It looks like you've made the rounds of South America...any tips for a poor college student headed to Buenos Aires?

Ahh the summer's I've spent in Charleston, makes me want to run to Norm's for a greasy chicken parmesan sub and pitcher of budlight, or wake up early and run down to 16th st on J.I to feel the gentle breeze and watch the bobble-headed morning runnings before the barbeque and booze arrive haha!

I'm leaving for S.A from Atlanta Sept. 1 and Chile is the second stop. What are you planning to do in Valparaiso? Checked out your blog, very warm and descriptive, feels like I was walking the streets right next to you (haha not in a creepy way). Good luck!

Cheers ~ Tim

Hi, from one SC girl to another! Welcome to Matador-- and have a wonderful time in Chile. I was in Valparaiso last fall and really loved it.

Peace, Julie

Hi there!

Welcome to Matador. I see you're headed to Valpo! That's just a stone's throw (or a long bikeride) from me in Santiago. I hope you'll pick the blog back up, I liked it.

See you around the site!
