Righto, Me and Buenos Airies haven´t had the best of relationships so far.  don´t get me wrong, it´s a great city but i think i am actually looking forward to leaving. i caught up with my friend helen from melbs and have been hanging out with her and other assorted argentines and a bunch of good […]

So i´m in el bolson and it´s lovely, beautiful scenery, laid back vibe, cool people. i´m staying in a hostel out in the countryside and there´s plenty of walking etc. to keep me busy. I´m in the perfect spot to chill out and relax before i head to BA. can´t wait! from there, i´m thinking […]

Barriloché is beautiful. but i kinda feel like i´m in switzerland or the like. even the buildings look like something from a ski resort. so, as the title suggests, i´m heading to a hippy hangout about two hours south called el bolson. had my best espresso in south america today, which made me happy. that […]

I had a great time. So what did i do? I went to Wilson’s Prom for a couple […]

My god arambol is good. I really don’t want to leave! the entire time i’ve been here, i’ve had a huge idiot grin plastered on my face. great food, great company cheap beer. i think i’ve found heaven. I’ve already been trying to work out when i’ll come back. i think i need to spend a […]

When I bought my train ticket to Goa, i realised that i had no idea where to go. a guy i met in Mumbai told me he had a friend in Baga, so i thought i’d spend the night there. it didn’t look too bad on the way in and the hotel was not as […]
