Vamos Argentina
2022 marked a new milestone in my travel bucket list with my longest flight to date and first trip to South America.

The Inception
It was the summer of 2019 when I decided to plan for another solo trip. This time, I chose to explore Lombardy, the region of Northern Italy, followed by a train trip to Switzerland and last but not least, an exciting journey to Paris. It was challenging to plan for the Swiss part of this trip and select places I'd love to see within three days. Eventually, I picked Zurich as my hub to explore other cities in the country, such as Lucerne and Bern . Switzerland is also very w
