After being a bit disappointed with the scarcity of eye-candy in Ecuador, I crossed the border into Peru with high expectations. Although there isn’t as much hype around Peruvian beauty like Colombians or Argentines, I was relieved to find that from Mancora down to Arequipa, the women of Peru held their ground against their sexy latina counterparts. Now as I get settled in Bolivia and start my adventure here, I leave you with my heavily researched and overly biased list of the hottest women of Peru. The list is generated from recommendations by Peruvian friends based on hotness, fame and skills. Enjoy responsibly. T2T’s Top 10 Hottest Peruvian Women 10. Alexis Amore – Porn stars are beautiful too! That’s why I’m kicking off the Top 10 hottest Peruvian list with the lovely and sensual mattress actress, Alexis Amore. Born in Lima in 1978, her award-winning work in adult entertainment has made her one of the …

69. Latin women love same-side sitting. I think it’s sexy if done with the right person and food selection (When eating ribs respect the space). 68. Chivalry isn’t dead gentlemen. Open doors, pull out chairs and offer your jacket. 67. Unlike American women, don’t expect Latin women to thank you for your chivalry, it’s expected. 66. You need to set a precedent early on… NO SURPRISE VISITS. They’re dangerous and will become more and more frequent. Not to mention they’re unexpected. 65. Never trust a woman who drives a mustang. 64. Never fight over a woman, but you can fight to defend a woman. 63. If you find a hot Ecuadorian woman you better hold on to her. 62. When in Argentina, drink a little Fernet and coke after dinner and it will help with digestion. 61. When in Colombia, order a bottle of Aguadiente vs individual drinks. It’s cheaper …

After a month and a half in Ecuador it’s time to head south to Peru, but I wouldn’t feel right about leaving without giving you the other side of Ecuadorian beauty, beyond the country’s incredible landscape, culture and cuisine. The “Hottest People” posts have become one of my favorite features on the T2T site, not only because of the obvious benefit I get from “researching” pop culture, but because of how the lists are created. I ask locals who their favorite celebrities are and their ranking opinion. For this list I received “insight” from our cooks at the Monkey Rescue Center, computer technicians at the Mac store, Ecuadorian friends in Quito, Baños and Cuenca and even a few bartenders, waitresses and hostel workers along the way. While Ecuadorian women didn’t provide the same neck-whipping-double-takes on the streets as often as the ladies of Colombia and Argentina, there were a few …

If you combine 1 tablespoon Sunday morning road-race, 2 cups all-American street festival, 3 kilos drug-induced halloween party, and 4 hearty handfuls of San Francisco fairy dust, you’ve got yourself the annual Bay to Breakers 12k foot race in downtown San Francisco. Bay to Breakers is an annual foot race which takes place in San Francisco, California on the 3rd Sunday of May. The name “Bay to Breakers” comes from the race course itself, which starts at the northeast end of the city (adjacent to San Francisco Bay) and runs west through the city to finish at the Great Highway adjacent to the Pacific coast (where breakers crash onto Ocean Beach). I don’t know if it was the ridiculous costumes, beautiful San Francisco views or the public nudity that made B2B the largest footrace in the world from 1986 until 2010, but I do know all of that combined makes …

Welcome to the 2nd edition of T2T’s world hottest people list! I know some of you might be thinking, “What does this have to do with travel and becoming a townie?” Well, my response to that is, everything! Pop culture is popular culture, one of the most discussed topics in the world. If you’re not up-to-date with local music, entertainment or smoking hot models what are you going to talk about at the beauty salon? The weather? Boring tourist! I spent the weekend scouring the Internet and asking Colombian friends who their favorite Colombian beauties were in an effort to organize a master list of the “hottest Colombian women”.  As you will notice, I left out 2 very significant Colombian sex symbols, Shakira and Sofia Vergara. The reason for this is I wanted to introduce you to people that you’ve never heard of. Sofia, if you’re reading this, I hope …

The very essence of travel is the discovery and exploration of new places, experiencing new things and meeting new people. Some choose the beaten path, the most popular hostels and follow the “top tourist attractions” lists, while others opt for remote locations, gor-tex sleeping bags and Bear Grylls travel tips. No matter what your means of exploration, from weekend pub crawls to cross-country road trips, I wish for you at some point along your journeys that you’ll discover the greatness of hidden gems. Hidden gems are those spots that have yet been discovered or overlooked, even if only by you. They’re the magical places that extract from you certain emotions. You get excited when you find one, like a hidden Italian restaurant in blue-collar Buffalo (Mulberry) or an impressive rooftop terrace in London (The Roof Gardens). There’s a sense of pride you get when you let your buddy in on …

By popular demand, I decided to expand on my previous list and give the ladies a little eye candy as well. For this I turned to a few Argentine lady friends for help me create the ‘man list’. Without further ado, here are the hottest men of Argentina that you should get to know if you’re planning a trip to Latin America. Ladies, let’s here your opinion. How would you rank the list? Who would you add/subtract? I hope you enjoy it, because I might take some heat for this one. The Top 10 Hottest Guys of Argentina: 10. Alejandro Lacroix - Alejandro Lacroix was a model that made his living as a travel agent until his passion for DJing scored him a spot on MTV. As his appearances became more frequent in a select circle related to electronic music in Buenos Aires, he obtained a position on the terraces of Clubland …

It’s Friday afternoon so let’s mix things up and talk about “pop culture”. After a week of hard-nosed investigative research, I’m finally ready to unveil the top 10 women you should know from Argentina. It was a long and tireless process but with the help of some Argentine friends (and google images) I’ve put together a well thought out list that highlights the best Argentina has to offer. Sure Colombia and Brazil are home to many famous hotties, but I wanted to uncover the Argentine women who grace the pages of Latin American magazines and newspaper stands that you’ve never heard of! If you are planning a trip to Latin America, especially Argentina, these are the names (and faces) you should know. Remember, you can never truly become a townie if you don’t know who people are talking about. Pop culture is as important to understanding a culture as anything …

A few days before I headed back to the States, I met up with famous writer and good friend, Paul Perry, to shoot an interview for T2T’s “Townie Spotlight” section. As I want to keep creating new and unique ways to share my experiences via Tourist 2 Townie, he inspired me to try my hand at writing a little poetry. Here’s what I came up with on the flight back to New York. Enjoy. An Argentine Love Story When I first met her I was lost and confused. I stumbled over my words and she was so amused. She opened my eyes to this whole new chapter. We shared steak and wine over endless laughter. Dark hair, dark skin she was Spanish and Italian. Passionate, emotional and made me feel like a stallion. She’d been lied to, cheated on and hurt before. I wish I could tell her that she could …

I figure instead of telling you about my great week, I might as well show you. Here’s how it played out… MONDAY: Buenos Aires contemporary artist shmorgishborg @ ArteBA ’10 Monday afternoon I went down to La Rural in Plaza Italia to soak up some much needed culture. The coolest thing about Buenos Aires is that it’s an artist playground. There are so many insane artists here in Buenos Aires doing incredible stuff. The ArteBA showed off some pretty solid contemporary art from both well-known and underground artists. My Personal favorite? It had to be the sick ATM booth my buddy Tranqui Yanqui setup. The Mayor of Buenos Aires also checked out the exhibits this week but he decided to break stuff. TUESDAY: Buller Pub football match at 3am after bartending in Recoleta. After a quick cocktail stop with the boys from the Buenos Aires Pub Crawl to help kickoff their first ever Palermo Hollywood …

***UNCENSORED*** Sunday was a great day. I learned that tofu is still disgusting and mirrors on ceilings are amazing. I met a lady friend over in Barrio Chino for some delightful asian cuisine and followed it up with a little afternoon delight in a Belgrano telo. I know what you’re thinking… is he really going to talk about his ventures in BA’s Chinatown!?? No, I wouldn’t think of it, that’s a personal matter, but I will tell you about my sunday afternoon in a shady pay-by-the-hour hotel room. First, let me explain what a telo is. Remember me talking about the passion of the Argentine people? Well that passion is everywhere. In the streets, parks and in restaurant you see lovers young and old throwing wind to public courtesy for some good ‘ol tonsil hockey action. Well where do you go when you want to take that heavy petting to the …
