Documenting Worthwhile Adventures
As we make our way across the border into Chile, it’s hard to believe that 8 weeks in Argentina has passed us by so quickly. From a colourful Buenos Aires to Bariloche; the gateway to Patagonia, further south to the stunning snow-capped Andean landscapes of El Chaltén and El Calafate, north to Mendoza’s wine region, […]

As I write this entry we’re almost 7 hours into our 18-hour bus journey from Mendoza to Salta, in Argentina’s mid-north. Sitting in the front two seats on the top level, we’re well positioned to better enjoy the beautiful mountains on the horizon, as well to melt; with the sun’s reflection intensely magnified through the […]

For two weeks now, we’ve been living off-the-grid, as we take part in our first volunteer project with ‘workaway.com’. The platform enables travellers to visit people’s homes and/or organisation’s and volunteer an agreed workload (often 5 hours’ p/day, p/week) in exchange for meals and accommodation. Really, it’s a win:win situation; enabling people to experience local […]

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.
