Looking Back And Seeking Ahead: Contributor Brittany Weaver Shares Her Travels

Brit is holding down South America for TheExped, specifically Buenos Aires, and maybe eating some of the very best beef imaginable. She shares her thoughts of ’09 and achievable destinations for 2010 with us.

2010 Destinations

2010 will begin, for me, out of want. I have to renew my tourist visa, thus Uruguay, becoming a common choice, is my destination for February. In the meantime, I hope to be looking for adventure in Cordoba or Rio Negro, districts in Argentina. I obtain it tough to plan ahead, you in no way know what you’ll stumble across, but since I have Canadian winters, I know I will be eye-balling the south of Spain or France maybe back to Argentina, Cordoba or Rio Negro. When I get back household, Durango, Mexico, and Chicago are on the short-stays list, as well as a revisit to the city of my heart, New York.

Lessons learned in 2009:

1. Do not travel to Buenos Aires on a Friday if you have nowhere to remain. This will  leave you stranded at the airport for three hours with two uncomfortable travel-mates, one truly cranky cat, and waiting for a
   “Katrine” to call back.
2. Every expertise is subjective to the culture’s time frame. For example, new-released movies are still new releases, even when that’s a month later than back house.
3. Sometimes the greatest location to see a good, independent, North American film is to go to a cultural center and watch their “foreign films” for absolutely free “Life Aquatic” — I couldn’t remain away from Bill Murray.
4. The finest place is here, the finest time is now (her mom told her that one).
