En route, Juan and friends tell about working far from home. Not only are there financial obstacles, there are cultural differences as well that lead to some misunderstandings. Americans don’t quite understand the saying Mi casa es su casa. Pay attention the next time someone from Mexico tells you there’s a party at your house!

Join us on this refreshing trip to Argentina, where we’re paddling our way thorough the history of Rio de la Plata. Eduardo y Luciana are always ready to share some of their local knowledge of Buenos Aires with us. Come on in—this golden water’s fine!

Let’s keep learning the Chilango slang. Ciudad de México, also knows as El Distrito or el D.F. is home to around 21 million people. Of course, they have to set themselves apart from people coming from other cities, and that’s why they created their own words, their own expressions. We went to share and learn with this nice construction crew, all of them very proud of being Chilangos.

If you go to the beach and just sit on the sand, this could be your chance to change things. Instead of just contemplating the waves and watching the surfers, embrace the ocean: Start surfing with some basic lessons from our friends in Costa Azul Surf Shop.

These friendly and animated guys are hardworking chilangos. That’s how people from Mexico City are known around Mexico. Let’s share a bus ride with them and learn some slang about workers and working in and around Chilangolandia.

What’s for lunch today? That’s one of our favorite questions and since we’re in Mexico, Marina give us some great answers. In Latin America people look for a calm, fresh place where they can enjoy el almuerzo del día, the special lunch of the day, or pedir de la carta, to order from the menu. It’s a perfect time for sitting back and taking a break from your work day.

We love surfing and we love nice, friendly people. In this one small store in Los Cabos, we ran into two of our favorite things. Come hear the owner and a star employee share their knowledge of different boards. They’re very helpful with beginners.

We learn more about summer fruits, thanks to our friends at Fruteria Los Mangos. So many varieties, colors and recipes to explore. Anyone up for a colorful pomegranate margarita?

Anytime is the perfect time for a trip to Mallorca. Ready to jump on a plane tomorrow? Well then, let’s plan a last-minute island getaway with Marta and Marisa!

We visit a simple fruit stand in Mexico to find tasty avocados, smallish watermelons from the third harvest and two types of sweet mangoes. Ah, a bit of nature’s bounty found under the mango trees.

Cholito prefers the gentle beauty of nature to any colossal modern hotels. There are some plans to develop Cholito’s favorite Panamanian beaches, but he (and many other locals) love the way things are. After our boat ride around the islands, we understand why!

Beautiful Panama has been promoted to tourists with the slogan “Se queda en tí” (“It stays with you”). Panamanian waters are great for surfing, for fishing and for floating around and chatting. Let’s meet Cholito, one of the locals, who will show us around in his boat!

With the right guide atop Cerro Ancón, you can learn about the most important spots in Panama City without fighting traffic. We were lucky enough to find a great guide to show us this beautiful city from on high.

Miraflores is one of the most visited places in Lima, and after watching this video you’ll know why! Good live music, good food and even better company on our fabulous trip around Peru!

Our Panamanian friend is proud of historic Cerro Ancón. He even knows some poetry about its lush history. Let’s listen in to learn more about el corazón del universo.
