Hi guys,

We’ve been wanting to go Patagonia in January in campervan, and we only have 14 days.

Do we just do Argentina side for the whole 14 days (like will it be already worth it for the long travel);

Or combine Argentina and Chile? But wouldn’t it be rushed for the latter?

Please let me know what you think with the 2 itineraries below. Or let me know what you think overall 🙏

Hello everyone!

We’re planning to travel to Argentina this January for 2 weeks covering mostly Patagonia. Too bad because of visa, I won’t be able to go to Chile😭

We’re going to rent a campervan. I would like to know which one of this 2 itinerary is better?

Or should I move our plan months after to accommodate my Chile visa application? Is it worth that extra trouble for me to be able to do both countries?

Appreciate your insights🙏

Hi guys,

I managed to get VLST visa twice in a row, one for 8 months and another for 1 year after.

I’m wondering what’s the maximum they can give me for those who have similar experiences? As they don’t seem to give me the vlst-ts which is the renewable one, though I am fine with just vlst because better than none!

Thanks in advance 🙏

As the title goes, as I have no car and I don’t know how to drive… I would like to go around the other cities. Thank you very much 🙏

Hi people👋

We’ve been assigned in Pirdop for a couple of years for work, and just wondering any recommended things to see and do just around or near here? We’ve seen Pascal hut :)

Thanks!

Hi guys! We’ve just started living in the beautiful country of Bulgaria, and we want some recommended hikes or must see / do here.

The thing is, we mostly can only afford to go over the weekend and staying in Pirdop. So including the driving time to the destination and back, we don’t really have 2 full days.

So far we’ve seen the Rila Monastery, Plovdiv, Musala peak, and Belogradchik. Reserving the 7 Rila lakes and Rhodope mountains if we have a week off work. Any recommendations for the short weekend? :)

Asian here, and I need my rice! But I just need a small basic one as I’m just one person, and my kitchen is small… thank youu!
