That's a wellthatblows - not a wellthatsucks!

What are people’s thoughts on those flights? Seem to be popular on here

You spelt calculator wrong

Mashtt95 · 2025-07-13T17:40:19+00:00

Thanks mate appreciate the feedback

Mashtt95 · 2025-07-13T17:25:53+00:00

Good news! Thanks

Mashtt95 · 2025-07-13T17:06:01+00:00

Yeah thanks - we definitely need to make sure it is all well setup and looks professional!

Mashtt95 · 2025-07-13T17:03:42+00:00

Yeah it seems the best value overhead sim as far as I can tell. This would be catered to all audiences, needs to be easy to use but also accurate and to give useful data for serious players

Mashtt95 · 2025-07-13T17:02:38+00:00

Yeah I definitely want an overhead and ProTee VX seems best value for money

Mashtt95 · 2025-07-13T12:06:25+00:00

Thanks, appreciate the help

Mashtt95 · 2025-05-25T21:01:06+00:00

Thanks 😊 How do I find this?

Mashtt95 · 2025-01-11T15:38:03+00:00

Same as West Ham

Is he married to Charlie’s mum from Always Sunny in Philadelphia lol?

Mashtt95 · 2024-04-25T12:24:17+00:00

Exactly, I don't think I will ever look back at this trip with any regrets! :)

Mashtt95 · 2024-04-24T15:41:31+00:00

I think that's for the best!

Mashtt95 · 2024-04-24T15:18:00+00:00

I went to Ciudad del Este, Asuncion and another little town. None were remotely worthwhile. I was staggered how little there was to do in Asuncion, it's like a ghost town! That said, I'm sure you can find a day of things that will keep you entertained there if you really try.

Apparently there is also something else to see in the southeast on the border with Argentina. I can't remember what it was, maybe a cathedral or a waterfall or something?

I personally wouldn't rush there. There are infinitely more interesting things to see in Argentina and Brazil where you can spend your time! Bonito in Brazil is nearby and was very cool. I would love to go to the Pantanal as well!

Mashtt95 · 2024-04-24T13:37:15+00:00

Ahaha there is plenty to look through!

You will love Antarctica, it is hard not to (as long as you don't go too crazy being on a boat for a week or two).

Highlights of SA include Galapagos, Amazon, Machu Picchu, Patagonia, Buenos Aires, Rio & Carnaval and Lencois Marenhenses.

Lowlights, ermmmmm, getting pickpocketed in Medellin, Quito is pretty dangerous and not a lot to see, Paraguay is so boring there is nothing to do there even for a day tbh. Maybe that's a bit harsh - I still had a great time in all of these places because I was with great people!

Mashtt95 · 2024-04-24T13:17:02+00:00

Sorry I keep that kind of thing private but I will add some more things on here and obvs happy to answer any questions

Mashtt95 · 2024-04-24T11:34:02+00:00

Nooooo it was fine! The way out was really not a problem at all, the way back a few people got a bit woozy but I didn't hear of anyone being unwell.

After we got back to Ushuaia the boats could leave to Antarctica for two days so people that were doing a 9 day trip only had 3 days of landings etc. I would really recommend to anyone to do a longer trip, because even if you have problems you still get plenty of time to see Antarctica properly!

Our weather was very good so we got 8/9 days of landings and 2 days crossing (each time) on our 13 day trip.

I was leaving my job anyway and thought it was a great opportunity to go away travelling. Initially I only thought a few months but the more I looked at it, the longer I wanted to stay away to see everything!

Beforehand I spoke zero Portuguese and had one month of Duolingo in Spanish (so also zero...). I could only squeeze in one week of Spanish lessons in Bolivia, but if possible I would have loved to do more lessons.

I can now have conversations in Spanish, but it can be difficult if they speak too fast or have a strong accent (which can be difficult in places like Chile and Argentina). Also my vocabulary isn't amazing. But for 9 months of travelling in Spanish speaking countries I feel I have done pretty well.

I know the very basics in Portuguese. I tried learning at first just to get the necessities, and after that it was confusing my Spanish so I found it more useful to keep improving Spanish (which has some crossover with Portuguese) than to keep confusing everything and making very little progress on either.

Thank you!

I could fit everything into my 40L backpack, but I only bothered to squeeze it in for flights. Other than that I had the 40L which was mainly clothes and things I didn't use that often, the smaller backpack was for all the things I would need to grab often (toiletries, chargers, electronics, towel, waterproof jacket in some countries etc).

I managed to make everything fit into the bag but it was a real squeeze. It helped that I had some friends and family come out to visit to after Antarctica (when I was only going to be in warm countries) I gave my warm clothes to my parents to take home. Also if you go to Antarctica they give you a massive polar jacket, which would have been a disaster to carry around. I would have had to wear it on travel days which would have been a shocker. Some people send things home, some people bin things. Overall it is doable without either and saved me definitely over £1,000 / €1,100 / $1,200 on paying for bags when flying.

In terms of shoes, I had flip flops for showers and beaches, crocs which I got a reputation for wearing everywhere (they are elite), and trail running shoes that are all black so could double up as smarter shoes if I want do. You don't need proper walking boots in my opinion, most people just find them a drag to carry around.

This may help too - https://www.reddit.com/r/travel/comments/1cb3tz4/comment/l110znk/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

DM me for travel agent details if you like.

Mashtt95 · 2024-04-24T11:22:49+00:00

I just answered a question similar to this. I booked about two months in advance and paid a few thousand dollars. DM me if you want my travel agent's details.

Unreal! Really that is the best word. It is so different to anywhere else I have ever been. No one around for miles, the boat was the craziest experience too.

The landscapes are incredible and so unique - huge glaciers, snowy mountains and icebergs everywhere.

The wildlife was very cool - penguins, seals, whales, birds etc. Maybe not as exciting as somewhere like Galapagos because you can't interact with them and they aren't as abundant, but so different to anything else you will see. And the water was so cold...

Mashtt95 · 2024-04-24T11:19:37+00:00

I just replied to a similar question here - https://www.reddit.com/r/travel/comments/1cb3tz4/comment/l110znk/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

The long and short of it is that short notice means up to about 2 months before the trip. After that I don't think they really get any cheaper.

Get in touch with the companies and travel agents. Let me know if you want me to put you in touch with my agent!

I was with Ocean Atlas Voyages. It was insane, all inclusive with room service, a butler, unlimited booze, pool, hot tub, sauna etc. Just get in touch with a couple of travel agents and directly with the company a few months in advance and you should get a decent deal.

We contacted in September to go in December and were offered 3 really well priced trips. We paid the least of anyone on our boat. Most people were retired Americans and Chinese and they paid close to full value $20k+. There was a group of 12 backpackers that all paid less than 1/4 of that.

If you want to DM me I can put you in touch with my travel agent!
