Matthew Stein

Bogotá, Bogota, Colombia

Hola amigos! Nice to meet you. I’m a proud Canadian, but I’ve been living abroad—primarily in Colombia and Uganda—for the last 20 years. I’ve worked as a journalist and a content creator, and I’ve channeled that experience into creating informative, exciting and entertaining multimedia guides and itineraries. I tend to focus on places that are less touristic and more authentic. I like to learn about my destinations by wandering around and talking to people. I plan, but I welcome spontaneity. Accordingly, my guides convey the essential information but leave plenty of room for your own exploration and discovery. If I had to sum up my travel interests, I’d quote the late, great travel writer, Paul Bowles: “If I am faced with the decision of choosing between visiting a circus and a cathedral, a café and a public monument, or a fiesta and a museum, I am afraid I shall normally take the circus, the café, and the fiesta.” If you have any inquiries, feel free to contact me on Instagram or

Experience Argentine Patagonia

I've been to Argentina several times and it is one of my favourite countries in the world! I speak Spanish fluently, with an Argentinian accent, which makes it easy for me to connect with locals and experience the country in a more profound way. My guides cover the popular tourist destinations but also places that are mostly visited by Argentinians and are not very well known yet among international tourists. I've travelled through Patagonia for almost 2 months and gathered a lot of information that I'm happy to share with you now to make travel planning a lot easier and less stressful for you. Instead of putting hours and hours into research, my guides provide you with the best recommendations so that you have more time to lean back and enjoy. My detailed guides cover the following destinations: 🔸Bariloche and the best spots around 🔸The best 3 hikes in and around Bariloche 🔸El Bolsón: A destination for hiking lovers and barely visited by international tourists 🔸El Chaltén: Argentina's Trekking Capital 🔸El Calafate: Discover the majestic Perito Moreno Glacier 🔸Ushuaia: the gateway to Antarctica with a hidden gem Have fun reading🙂

Exploring California: Top Areas to Travel to

North Coast

Camping beneath the tallest trees in the world, the majestic redwoods, is an unforgettable experience on California's North Coast. Redwood National & State Parks offer stunning groves for first-time visitors. Moving south from Eureka to Mendocino and San Francisco, one can find campgrounds along rugged coastlines with picturesque bluffs, coves, and tidepools.

Central Coast

Stretching from Monterey to Santa Barbara, the Central Coast offers a variety of landscapes and is a perfect escape from the urban hustle. Drive along Highway 1 in Big Sur to witness redwoods, waterfalls, and windswept bluffs. North of Santa Barbara, waves crash against state parks offering remote camping opportunities, including Channel Islands National Park off Santa Barbara's coast.

SoCal Beaches: Los Angeles to San Diego

Southern California boasts golden beaches ideal for lazy days and relaxation. Camping enthusiasts can enjoy beachfront campsites from Newport Beach to Dana Point in Orange County and coastal bluffs near San Diego. Due to their popularity, it's essential to book these oceanfront sites well in advance.

Sierra Nevada Mountains

Yosemite National Park invites visitors with granite domes and Alpine meadows, while Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks showcase towering sequoias. Campgrounds near sparkling alpine lakes and the stunning Lake Tahoe offer postcard-worthy views amidst nature's beauty.

Southern Deserts

For surreal sunsets and unique landscapes, head east to the Southern Deserts of California. Death Valley National Park features striking rock formations, sand dunes, and vibrant wildflowers. Joshua Tree National Park attracts campers with its iconic Joshua trees and picturesque boulder formations. Anza-Borrego Desert State Park near San Diego is perfect for desert hiking enthusiasts, especially during the pleasant late fall through spring season.
