My First Day In This Mysterious Country
My First 24 Hours in Paraguay Shocked Me
I landed in Paraguay with zero expectations… and within the first 24 hours, everything I thought I knew was completely wrong.
In this video, I take you with me through my very first day in Asunción, the capital of Paraguay — a country that almost no one talks about when traveling through South America. No big tourism campaigns, no crowds of backpackers… just raw, real life.
What happens when you arrive in one of the least-visited countries on the continent with no plan?
I decided to find out.
From the moment I stepped into the city, I started exploring without a script — hitchhiking through different neighborhoods, jumping into random cars, and trusting complete strangers to show me their version of Paraguay. What I found wasn’t what I expected at all.
I met locals who opened up about what it’s really like living here — the good, the difficult, and the things outsiders completely misunderstand. We talked about why so few tourists visit Paraguay, what makes this country different from its neighbors, and why it often gets overlooked despite having so much to offer.
This isn’t a polished travel guide. This is the reality of discovering a place for the first time — unfiltered, unpredictable, and sometimes uncomfortable.
Along the way, you’ll see:
My first impressions of Asunción
Hitchhiking across the capital and meeting strangers
Honest conversations with locals about life in Paraguay
The reasons why Paraguay is often misunderstood
Areas of the city that most tourists never see
Moments that completely changed my perspective
Paraguay surprised me in ways I didn’t expect — not because it’s flashy or touristy, but because it’s real. And sometimes, that’s what makes a place unforgettable.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to visit a country that isn’t on most travel routes, this is it.
