Adventures at home – get outta town

If you’re an explorer, you’re an explorer. There’s nothing you can do about it. I found me and my best friend once a week we would get away, just for a few hours drive to a rural town 30 min away, see new sights, eat at a new restaurant (restaurants were open at this time.)…

Iguazu Falls
