For those who do not know us, we are a Paraguayan couple who have been living in Rio de Janeiro for the last twelve years, we both left Paraguay after high school and moved to Brazil to study at the university. We got married and share the passion for trips and, as every good Paraguayan would, we love tereré.
Now, for those of you who don't know it, tereré is a typical drink in Paraguay, made from yerba mate through infusion in cold water. The process is very similar to mate, the main difference being that mate is drunk with hot water. According to our research, apart from Paraguay tereré is appreciated, in northern Argentina as well as in southern and western Brazil.
On our journey we seek on one hand to get to know new cultures, flavours, places and people. On the other hand, our desire is to show a bit of our culture, to make people to get to know our country and tereré.
We plan to travel five continents and since we are good budget travellers, we are always looking for the cheapest way to see more and spend less. We intend to stay mainly in hostels as most of backpackers do, but we would like to stay with locals as well, at least once in each country, since we believe it is the only way to truly get to know a country.
We plan to record our trips to share our experiences, ideas, problems, adventures, joys, feelings, thoughts, flavours and colours. We believe that in this way we can give back the help we got from other travellers and their respective blogs. It is also a way to show our relatives and friends a bit of our adventure.
