Welcome to Episode 098 of my “Travel Tales From Beyond The Brochure” podcast.
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 second half of the trip is available here. 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
You can listen via the feed above, or via Spotify, or on your podcast app of choice. Let me know if it isn’t, by the way, and I’ll see what I can do. In addition, a PDF transcript of this episode is available.

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!
