Hello :)

This episode details the first half of my 2-week backpacking trip around South America in October 2024 - this one covers Uruguay and Buenos Aires. The rest of the trip will follow in my next episode. My voice doesn't really sound that great today, and I'm not quite sure why.

Topics discussed in this episode are:
* I went to Chester to meet my mother!
* Why did I go to South America?
* First impressions of Montevideo
* The old town, the promenade, and the street market
* My accommodation in Montevideo
* Uruguayan cash flow issues
* Colonia del Sacramento
* San Telmo and the pub that trolls
* The Parisian aesthetic of Buenos Aires
* How aroace dyspraxics get to dance the Tango

A PDF transcript of this podcast is available.

As always, if you have anything to say about the topic, or indeed about my podcasting in general, leave a comment or let me know. I have a newsletter with extra content, and where I'll be mentioning future podcast episodes if you want to make your own contribution.

I also have a Patreon - if you like what you hear, and want to access exclusive content (or just to show your appreciation), then head on over.

There are no contributions in this podcast, but the intro was recorded by someone called Dorhel in San Telmo market, and posted to FreeSound.org. I don't have any recordings of Tango. Listen to the pod to find out why!

Also, in case you're interested. here's Sasha Cagen's website and Tango discussions.

Until next time, bye for now. :)
