South America
Of all the contents that I have visited so far, South America is by far my favourite. For many it conjures up images of drugs and violence, but I think backpacking in South America is by far the best experience any independent traveler can hope to have. In South America we found people to be much more honest than those of South East Asia. We felt more at ease with the whole vibe of the Continent, maybe as we share the same ancestors as opposed to strong difference in culture with South East Asia.
