Travel • Food • Culture • Community | Singaporean couple backpacking across Central & South America. Find your escape!
Hi there! We are John and Jocelyn, a couple from the sunny (and humid) island of Singapore. We're currently traveling across Latin America and would love to share our adventure with you!
In May 2022, we decided to quit our corporate jobs and booked a one way ticket to explore the world! We will be spending the next few months travelling across Latin America to learn about the culture, taste the foods, and help the communities wherever we can. We hope to gain some new perspectives, connections, and a little bit of creativity.
Our goal is to inspire you to be courageous, to break free of your expectations and chase your dreams. In the end, you only regret the chances you didn't take.

Which month was this?
Early-mid September!
Nice, hope to survive next month, go SG
Good luck, and enjoy!🤞
Hi bro, nice video. Lots of information. When you are in Doha airport do you need to go collect your luggages for your connecting flight? I guess not right? 👍👍🙏🙏
If u have a connection u usually don’t need to collect your luggage!
UwU
😋😋😋
omg
😎
Thanks for the info! One question: do the camps provide soap/dish washing liquid to wash up plates/cutlery? And toilet paper?
Yes and yes, but sometimes they can run out so I would bring some toilet paper just in case!
I am flying QSuite in a few months and have watched a lot of videos of people on it. This is far and away the most charming I’ve watched. The fact that the extravagance and joy is not lost on you, that you are still in touch with how decadent this is, and just the way you joke with each other made this really fun to watch. Thanks!
Thanks for watching and for your amazing comment 🥰 you are gonna have an amazing time!

🥰🥰🥰 thank you for watching
Not only Santa Lucia’s hill closes on Mondays, all touristic a places and museums that depend from the government are closed on Mondays for maintenance in WHOLE CHILE, but still you can go to a lot of nice locations that are not related to the government.
Great info! Thanks for sharing!
great video! reminded me of my first time flying Qsuites
Thanks for watching! It was amazing 😍
Stay safe man 🫵😎 watching from Auckland New Zealand 🇳🇿 God bless ☝️ n Jesus name Amen ✝️
Thank you! 🥰
Patagonia one of the most beautiful on the planet
It is the most beautiful 😍

Sounds too luxurious for us 😅😅
What camera and lens do you use?

Thank you guys for share this beatiful video about Arequipa
🥰🥰🥰
hi! This is great and very helpful! I've been torn with where to go in Argentina but your video inspired me to go to Salta! Where did you book your day trips to Cachi and Cafayate?
Thanks for watching! Glad to know that you found it helpful! We booked our Cachi and Cafayate tours from one of the tour operators nearby the main square of Salta (Parada Norte Turismo). I think almost all the providers more or less have the same tour, so just hit up a few shops and see which one has the best vibes 😅
I love Jocelyn's review of the campsites - it might be my favorite part of these videos! Thank you for sharing your experiences - I'm heading there in a few weeks and I am now adding bug spray to my packing list! ;) Is there anything you wish you'd packed that you didn't have with you? Also, is there anything you packed that you didn't end up needing? Thanks again for these awesome videos :) We're doing the O, but starting at Paine Grande (doing the W first, ending with the glacier).
Thanks for watching, and glad to know that our videos are helpful! Our gear setup was pretty dialed in - but one thing we wished we knew is that almost all the campsites have food and snacks you can purchase, so you don’t need to carry too much food at the beginning. Let us know if you have any other questions, and enjoy your adventure, it will be amazing!
haha i'm french, came accross your channel as i'm binge waching all youtubes videos talking about people doing long trips (several month- year round the world) on different regions on the world to collect as many info as possible to do it myself one day (hoping soon as i'm turning 35). Thanks for sharing your adventure. Just on this video i wanted to say that the brand DIPTYQUE is a french luxurious and niche candle and fragrance brands.
Bonjour! Thank you for watching and educating us on the brand 😅. Let us know if you have any questions regarding long term travel!
Just wondering can one keeps the pyjamas after worn or need to return after used?
You are allowed to bring it home
Yes you are allowed to keep them!
Although it didn't show in the video, but I hope you guys didn't miss out on the full double bed experience with the center divider all the way down.
We did and it was amazing! Crazy that you can have a double bed while in the sky!
@@JohnandJocelyn Then you definitely got your money worth 😆I would suggest leave little bit more time transit in Doha next time, as it has a brand new business class lounge on the opposite side of terminal, called " The Garden", not as good as The Jewel, but still very decent
Excellent video. I am flying Qsuites Bali to Miami via Doha in February. Looking forward to it.
Enjoy! It will be amazing!
You are such a fun couple! Great video.
Thanks for watching! 🥰
It's so good ,not see bad comments from mexicans people to any Peruvian publish or something related to Perú. Unfortunatly this people can't hear nothing good of Perú because instantly they are thowing hate everywhere, really dissapointing this people

the snoring was louder than the plane 😂😂😂
That’s how comfortable the seats are 😂😴
I Love The Exteririor Cameras
I Love The Qsuite Best Business Class In The World.Great Trip Report
Thanks for watching! It was an incredible experience!
Flew QSuites from the US to South Africa. Best flight ever! Btw, same thing from the Doha to Cape Town flight for us (old biz class) The planes are different. The A350-1000s have Qsuites but the A350-900s usually have the older biz class products.
Oh that makes so much sense! Clearly we didn’t do enough research 😅😅
@@JohnandJocelyn lol no worries. I researched so much because I was afraid of getting “Qatar’d” - where they do a last minute equipment swap and give you the old product instead of Qsuites lol
Wow!
Wow wow
Arroz con Mariscos isn't fried rice, so what you ate isn't fried rice and that's why it is moist. Fried rice in Perú is called Arroz Chaufa, in this case it would be called Chaufa de Mariscos.
Santiago ciudad chile..hermosaa..
I feel bad for you, guys and I hope you found other chifas in Peru besides that one. It happens that the best are in Lima, outside Lima very few can be called good. About that empty wantan (wonton) it is a practice of low cost chifas and. They don't spend on making any filling for those wontons and is something I call a scam. They sell just the fried paste along with the sweet sauce. A package of 40 pieces costs around 4 soles (1.1 USD) and those scamers sell 6 wontons for 6 or more soles. A total scam, plus the fact they call it a "dish". A dish! No way. Its a shame. But if you try in Lima city (or maybe in some few chifas outside Lima) in a well recommended restaurant you will see the differences, and chifa can be a good culinary experience, of course it will depend on where you go. As you now, chifa is a fusion (Peruvian + Chinese), but you can also find Chinese food in some places in Lima. Next time, if there is a secodn time, try a good place. That restaurant looked cheap and those "dishes" too. Greetings from Peru, Lima.
Yes my parents are from Ayacucho and I go there every year and the best chifas are in Lima, they can't make the rice so smoked like in Lima, and there are not every soup like in Lima, and many options that you can find in china town Lima.
Thank you for your comment! Yes we definitely ate at many chifas in Lima too, but didn’t get a chance to film them! Food and culinary culture is so wonderfully unique in Peru, amazing country you have! 😍
Wonderful!🌺
🥰🥰🥰
In my experience, at least in Lima, the fried wonton comes with a filling, I wonder if regionally in Arequipa they only do the empty friend wonton, or specific to the restaurant. I think it is better with filling.
Hi, I am from Lima. Wontons must be filled, other way they are not such thing. Those empty ones are a practice of low cost chifas and. They don't spend on making any filling for those wontons, and is something I call a scam. They sell just the fried paste along with the sweet sauce. A package of 40 pieces of that paste costs around 4 soles (1.1 USD) and those scamers sell 6 wontons for 6 or more soles. A total scam, plus the fact they call it a "dish". A dish! No way. Its a shame. Such practice apeared about a decade ago in low cost (cheap) chifas. And, as you said, wontons come with a filling. The real ones. Cheers from Peru
THE LAST DRINK THE YOU HADE ..IS NOT FROM CHILE…I THINK IS FROM PERU….O VENEZUELA…!!!
Lol the locals know theres other places were netflix didnt go . Everybody knows the best food are in the hoods
Chifa comes from cantonese for "cooking rice". Chinese migration to Peru was from Canton.
Delicious! 🥰😋
Which month did you go
We went in end-Sep/early-Oct! Start of the rainy season but not too bad as you can see from the video
most of the street food arent typical from chile... if you want real food in chile you must go to the worst alley, talk to the gang then say ¨wena culiao, no soy de chile y no creo que tu comida tipica sea tan wena, me equivoco acaso?¨, then if you pick the right gang they will give you the best food guide you will had in your life
Not worth to risk your life for a street food
Only Mexicans and southeast asians go to peru and can say "is not that spicy"
It was still spicy 😅🥵🌶️
rocoto relleno es otra cosa anda al mercado y que te muestren rocoto y pim,ienton es diferente los dos rocoto poca mucho pimienton no mucho no hay que con fundir y el queso halado no es queso sino es la forma como queso por eso ledisen queso helado
china loves peru & vice versa!
🥰🥰🥰
Chinese food is the best, we can find chinese food every country
Delicious! 😋
Thanks for the great vid!! When did you go and hike the Patagonia?
This was in the month of Nov-Dec!
How much was for everything ?
Everything was about USD11 for 2 of us!
Thank you for your videos about South America. They are really amazing. May I ask you how did you purchase your entry ticket to Torres del Paine? I am checking the website right now and the only option for foreigners is via PayPal. I dont see any option for VISA/Mastercard. They only accept the cards issued by banks in Chile. Did you have this problem as well?
Thanks for watching! Yes we also had to pay via PayPal, but you should be able to add your credit card to your PayPal account??
