Discovering Paraguay on Socials

My Discovering Paraguay accounts are still active on Facebook and Instagram.

Guidebooks to Paraguay

My guidebook was published by Other Places Publishing in 2012 and an updated & expanded edition was released in 2017. Both were labors of love and products of deep roots and many years of busrides and rounds of tereré.

Paraguay with Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown
