Finally starting to write about my (extended) South America trip. Lets begin from the pre-planning stage. Helps being a designer to create visual itineraries… this is what I cooked up.
Route, Dates and Initial Itinerary
The plan initially was to go through London, stop by and stay with a friend and move on to Brasil > Bolivia > Peru > Ecuador
Route Options & Costs
Made this using a website – I forget the name. Will update this post with it. Fabulous way to map your route, explore flight options and see costs upfront.
Visual Itinerary
This was my favorite piece of inspiration. Before this, the whole trip looked like a dream. Now it had a face. Spent half a day making this, but totally worth it! The dream was taking shape…
Next update: The real itinerary and first week in Brasil!

I totally agree with Xanindia.
I envy you. I so so envy you!!!
Are you going to be at Peru during the Sun festival? Where the ancient kings and queens come in a parade and stuff? Machu Pichu! Cuzco!Lake Titicaca! Wowwww
@xanindia - thank you :) i'm not honestly organized - just love designing stuff. this was the only planning. once i got there, everything was as-it-comes. zero planning. more fun.

thank you for reaching out, Prasanna. my plans are still in the offing and will surely let you know once something concrete shapes up!
Ok some brutally honest confessions coming your way!
I reached your blog trying to get a contact who could put my resume in BCWebwise. (You work there if I am not mistaken, right?)
But I am totally sold on your blog. It has moved beyond the realm of 'I' which most blogs are (including mine)Universal checklist - wish more world leaders could think on those lines!
Glad I landed here!
hey Jinu, i've been a lazy blogger lately so apologies for the late reply...
i dont work at BCWebWise but know pretty much everyone there :) used to work for Hungama.com
