I visited Amsterdam on the tail end of my jaunt through the Balkans and Baltics mostly because it was one of those famous places that I had never visited at that point. You can only use it in Ecuador as they use the dollar bill in USA! The local remedy is to drink lots of coca tea – that really worked for me.Īnother fun fact – the episode revolved around the Ecuador 8 Escudos Doubloon, and while I never saw one in Ecuador, one thing you’ll probably encounter is the US$1 coin. Made a trip to Colca Canyon and was absolutely FLOORED when I came back, spent most of that evening without an appetite and slept so much. It really creeps up on you and is the worst~ I felt its worst effects while further down south in Peru while in Arequipa. One thing they weren’t kidding about was the altitude sickness that Carmen succumbs to in the show. On the top of El Panecillo, the ‘little bread’, a hill in Quito which has a really large statue called the Virgen de Quito on it I liked the relaxed happy vibe I had going on here, and yes I have my feet in the pools at the Louvre but it was high summer and SUPER HOT. I don’t have that much to say because I also only spent a very brief time here, but here’s a picture I used quite a lot in the beginnings of this blog when I was a bit more shy about showing my face. Mumbai, India – specifically the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya national museum though they never mention its name on screen, the silhouette is quite distinctĮpisode 3 is when Carmen’s current adventures begin (the first 2 episodes are backstory of how she became who she is today, pretty interesting setup), and there is a chase scene right in the beginning in Paris.Java, Indonesia – it’s not clear where exactly in Java they are, though from the map on screen it could be forested areas in Central or Eastern Java.Morocco – they never specify where in Morocco the dig site is, but there are several across the country.

Canary Islands, Spain – there are 8 main islands with Tenerife being the most well known, but likely VILE’s secret island was an obscure unrecorded islet in this area.

In order of episode appearance – those in green are places I’ve personally visited, and some of my stories are below: Everyone’s trying to find Carmen Sandiego while she and her hodgepodge crew skip around the world trying to stay ahead of the game. Along the way, she draws Interpol’s interest, and they in turn draw secret agency ACME’s eye. In a nutshell, Season 1 introduces Carmen to us as a child growing up in the VILE Academy for fledgling criminals training to be the best thief, realising that she was misguided and how she escapes and tries to outwit VILE by out-stealing them.

Note: The final season 4 of Carmen Sandiego launched 15 January 2021 on Netflix! It’s purported to be the last episode of the animated series, though there are talks about potential live-action movie adaptations. Since international travel seems to be off the shelf for a while, I’m indulging my wanderlust and fangirling in other ways :)

Did you know that way before I started this travel blog, I used to have a TV blog? It turns out that while I’m not much of an armchair critic, what helped me enjoy shows more was dissecting the information that they provided and figuring out character’s backstories or saving my favourite quotes. I thought I’d share with you how some of these locations featured in Carmen Sandiego are like in real life based on my own travels. It was pretty fun seeing how they depicted actual places I’ve visited and stoking that wanderlust of new places to check out in future. Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? That’s the question I asked every new episode as our titular heroine popped up in a new place around the world.

During the COVID quarantine period when travel was basically off-limits and I had a ton of time to spend at home watching TV, and imagine my glee when I came across the original Netflix series Carmen Sandiego, based on the original 90s cartoon series and remade in 2019 for today’s audience.
