With February 14 upon us already, this year is f.l.y.i.n.g on by!

I’m writing this post as we take a break from a hard day’s work on our first ‘Work Away’ experience, about an hours’ drive from Bariloche in a tiny village (if even you could say that) called Confluencia Traful, Neuquén. Nestled by the river at the foot of the mountains, in short; this place is […]

Argentina Bus Adventures. To the innocent eye, this lovely green coach (pictured) might look somewhat like a luxury set of wheels, somewhere along the way from Buenos Aires to Bariloche, Patagonia. Truth be told, this is partially correct. It’s indeed, ‘somewhere along the way’ between the east and west coasts of Argentina. In the […]
