TWO TRAVELERS BEYOND a passion project + interactive travel experience
about this experience
During 2025, I had the privilege of backpacking the continent of South America alongside my partner. My goals during this time were to experience different cultures, practice the Spanish language, be present in nature, and open my mind to different ways of living to incorporate into my day-to-day life. From hiking the wild landscapes of Chilean and Argentinian Patagonia to standing before the historic wonder of Machu Picchu in Peru, I gained a deeper understanding of myself and the world than I ever imagined.
During this time, I got to experience to 8 countries over the course of 7 months: Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Bolivia, Peru and Guatemala. This journey asked more of us than comfort would allow - resilience, flexibility, and accountability - shaping skills that will last well beyond the experience itself. Traveling long-term like this, you begin to understand each country’s individual culture on a more intimate level - from everyday routines and community dynamics to the values and traditions that quietly shape how people live.
While on this journey, I launched a social media account on a whim, simply to create a digital diary of my adventures (and maybe inspire some other people to travel, too!). We generated over 100,000 views within the first month of our trip. Additionally, I created a brand kit, website & blog to continue building my creative skillset while abroad.
This experience not only tested me in numerous ways, but helped shape my view of the world into a more positive perspective, thus motivating me to keep pushing beyond what I once believed possible. There are no true limits in this world, only the ones we place on ourselves.
