My most recent adventure took me to four different areas in Chile where I not only enjoyed outstanding food and excursions but found time to take a few (hundred) photos as well. One of the most challenging things about travel photography is actually sorting your photos and sharing them – whether that be on social media, via email or in print. The PicsArt app is an easy-to-use photo editor (perfect for traveling or while you’re on the go) that allowed me to adjust, crop, straighten and enhance my photos quickly, so I that I was ready to share them with friends and family faster. Today, the resident photographer at PicsArt, Nanette Wong, will give you an in-depth look at how to edit your travel photos on the go.

I’ll never forget my first time in Peru. My roommate from college and I had been traveling for over a month in Ecuador and decided to splurge on an overnight bus with plush, reclining semi-cama seats. I fell into a deep sleep as we made our way down the coastline from the more humid and tropical climate of Ecuador to the low-lying desert outside of Lima on the way to visiting Machu Picchu. I awoke to an outer world landscape; morning light seeping through ocean mist and casting a gentle glow over the sand dunes. I knew that I would love this country. We made our way to the southern Andean highlands and I felt as if I had stepped into the pages of National Geographic.
Our private tour guide in Peru, Wilfredo “had such a passionate connection to the trails, the Incan sites, and the history that he shared with us. And, it seemed like there was no joy greater for him than to share this with us.”

Julia and Justin had a blast traveling to Argentina and Chile. They first spent time in Mendoza sipping wine in the Lujan de Cuyo valley, hiking outside of El Salto and even rappelling off of a waterfall! The two spent the next portion of their trip in Patagonia, visiting the Perito Moreno glacier and crossing the border to Chilean Patagonia to explore Torres del Paine National Park and stay at the rustic luxury lodge Tierra Patagonia.
This active Argentina adventure was phenomenal. Waking up in a rustic, luxury lodge in remote Patagonia with views of the Andes mountains peaking up over the forested lakeside of Lago del Desierto was just one part of this fantastic journey.
