Country forumsScandinavia & the NordicsIcelandWest and South of Iceland + Northern Light Hunt+Travel Buddies#1

Hi Everyone,
I am planning to visit Iceland in the month of January (around 16th Jan). My main target is the northern lights and also I would love to travel around the west and south of Iceland. As per my calculations, I should be done by 5 nights 6 days. However, I will be travelling solo and I found that it's not recommended to go on a solo self-driving trip during winter. So, I am wondering if anyone would dare enough to visit Iceland during that time. Also, it will be really helpful if anyone can give me some links for guided tour packages for that time.

Thanks.

Country forumsIndian SubcontinentBhutanAgencies that specialize in solo travelers#1

Hi:

I already know all the rules/restrictions/costs about Bhutan and I will most likely be going alone. Are there any agencies that tend to attract solo travellers? I don't mind being added to a group of solo strangers and would prefer to avoid joining a squabbling family. Is there any agency that tends to attract singles, rather than groups?

Country forumsSouth AmericaArgentina2.5-3 weeks: Bariloche, El Chalten (and/or Salta, BA?)#5

Hiking solo near Bariloche is 'safe ' just like in high mountains in Europe or North America. The risk of an accident always exists, the N.Yahoo traverse is not an easy path.

I don't believe anyone looks solely at time and money. It's about the ability to make the sensible choice.

As for shitty connections, you can of course justify those to yourself as you wish. "Interesting characters", as we all know, are totally subjective and become even more interesting to those who are convinced they are saving money ;-)

Every group has its own dynamics, if you can't see the idiot then it's probably you.
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think :-D

Yes, I find the movie exceedingly stupid as well.
However, Bali certainly has the guys ready to fulfill all romantic expectations - at a price, as you noted.
It is apparently the only major tropical holiday destination that receives more solo female than solo male visitors! ;-)

Country forumsSouth AmericaArgentinaBuy a car in Buenos Aires an travel around in South America#3

Hello Sinchi! As a foreigner you can buy a car Argentina, it's not a problem, you can also talk with a local and "rent it" , i think the two options are good . Yo don't need a special driver's licence in South america. About crossing the borders i can't help you, but you can also get a good assurance for the car, there are many good assurance like Federacion Patronal, La nueva, etc.

If you are staying a couple of days in Buenos Aires don't miss the opportunity to spend a night in the countryside near BA to watch a fast paced polo match under the stars, with great food and wine. My reco will go to argentinapolonight.com

Country forumsSouth AmericaPeruATM fees in Peru#5

One more update. It seems that BCP doesn't charge a fee for people from certain countries (e.g. Germany). For both of my USA banks, it charges a fee. And at BBVA, I was able to withdraw at least 1,200 soles on the same day.
