86: Ticket 2 | Traveling for a Latin American Summer

OUT: European Summer. IN: Latin American Summer!! Make 2024 (and every year after) the summer YOU get down to Latin America, from Central America all the way down to Patagonia in Argentina.

Yes, the southern hemisphere is the opposite and has it's winter while the north is having a lavish summer, but for you travelers that will mean smaller crowds, cheaper prices and flights, and more space to yourself!

Euro Summer is now crowded, expensive, hot, no ice, and basically overrated. We don't want ANY of that when we're traveling! 

Leah is a seasoned Latin America travel veteran and this episode is FILLED with travel tips, stories, travel advice, flight prices, best practices, and tricks as you navigate booking a flight to anywhere in LATAM. We talk about countries like Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Colombia, Peru, Argentina, Chile, and Brazil. Send this episode to a friend who is thinking of traveling there soon!
