We're going to South America!!!

Surprise! We're heading to South America! When we booked our flights for Lima, Peru in late Autumn of last year we decided to keep quiet about our plans until the day we boarded our plane. Well friends, that day has arrived!
Last year we were fortunate enough to visit Lima, Peru and stay with Audrey's relatives while finishing off our alternative teaching practicum abroad. This time around, our nearly 5 month adventure, will be focused entirely on travel. That means we'll be cranking out more food and travel videos from a part of the world we're very keen on showcasing.
Audrey has a lot of roots in South America (both of her parents are from the region) and one of my favorite backpacking trips of all-time was my South America trip I took back in 2010 well before we met each other and stated making videos.
Anyhow, getting back on subject, we plan to visit Peru, Chile, Bolivia, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil although our itinerary is flexible and nothing is set in stone as of now. We would love to hear your suggestions of places we should visit, things we should do and foods we should try.
We're going to South America!!! Travel Video Transcript:
Well, well where are we going today? Ah, it's a surprise that we will reveal a little bit later on.
Ciao Canada! Bonhomme de neige.
Who is Bonhomme de neige? It's our favorite. It's our best friend. Our best snowman friend. From carnival in Quebec City? Yeah. Yeah.
This is Sam's serious face because he doesn't like airports. I don't like airports.
Art! We are going to walk through art right now.
I got yelled at by. Woah! There is echoes.
Hahaha. Who yelled at you? I got yelled at by a lady at the airport for having too much - what is the word? I forgot the word. Too much pep in my step. To much bounce in your step. You're ridiculous. It echoes in there. That was scary. That's embarrassing.
So my Mom gave me homemade prosciutto pizza to take to the airport in case I got hungry. Thank you Mummy!
Mmmm. It's like a flaky pastry pizza.
So what up? Why are we at the airport? Again! So all silliness aside, we have some really exciting news. About 10 months ago we went to Peru for a teaching practicum and we're heading back. But this time not to teach - to travel! And we're going to be in South America for 4 and half months. But not just Peru. Not just Peru. We're going to be going to a lot of different countries and this is so exciting. We've been at home in Canada for 2 months just kind of like feasting and resting up. And now we're ready to hit the road for a good solid almost half a year.
So where are we going exactly? Alright, so the plan is to start out in Peru and then head down to Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and probably finish off in Brazil. But to be honest we haven't booked anything aside from like the first two weeks in Peru so we're kind of just winging it and we'll see where we end up. Oh, and Easter Island! We're going to Easter Island. How could I forget that.
T.O.!
And...
And, we'd love to hear your suggestions for places to go, things to do and foods to eat. Please let us know what we should be doing on our South America trip.
So the Toronto Airport has gotten really fancy and now they have free ipads that you can play with so I'm doing tic-tac-toe for one player.
Medium.
So this is our first flight of two. And we're going to El Savador. We're not actually staying there. We're just transferring.
So can you walk and talk? Yeah! I think I'm that coordinated. How many glasses of whiskey and wine did you have on that super bumpy flight. I probably had three glasses of wine. 4! You had four! No, I didn't have four. I'm going to correct you on that. Are you sure? Yes. And then I had a glass of whisky. And you survived. Because you know what - even though I've flown a lot I still find it terrifying - especially when it is turbulent. So you're a little tipsy now but. We're boarding on our next flight. So let's go catch our flight to Lima.
And I think this is where we're going to wrap up the video. We finally made it to Peru at 2 in the morning. We're a little tired but it is good to be back and we're excited to start filming this week.
This is part of our Travel in South America series. We're making a series of videos showcasing South American culture, South American arts, South American foods, South American religion, South American cuisine and South American people.
