Woke up after 4 hours sleep, and that wasnt the best sleep. Really stuffy room and one of the english guys was snoring the whole time. Today i was meeting up with Jonas, i had been emailing him for a few months before arriving and he offered to show me around the city, i wasnt really in the mood bu…

Things I learned from the trip:   1.               In this “globalizing” world, language can be someone’s biggest asset or biggest crutch.           &nb…

The most notable thing about this week's adventures in Argentina was the visit to the Congress. Yes, we visited a nuclear power plant this week too, but the legislative process is a bit more familiar to me than fusion. Or is it fission? I'm not an engineer... I digress: The visit to the Congress s…

What is the point of travelling abroad? What drives us (you know who you are) to yearn, so passionately, to see the world?

The last couple days being anywhere make one reminisce on past times, good laughs and friends made.  I can compare it to the last couple pages in a book, which I make sure to read slow and soak up as much as I can.  These past 6 weeks have opened my eyes to a not entirely different part o…

Buenos Aires, Mendoza and Santiago

Some of my favorite photos from my week in this beautiful city.

I presume it didn't matter as there was so much Italian & Spanish influence in Argentina. I didn't know what to expect but for sure not another Spain! The moment I stepped out of the airport it hit me.....as we drove along the streets it hit me...I was in Spain! My expectation (obviously I did…

Argentina 2005

After yet another long drive we are getting in to Buenos Aires, the drive in the bus is rather boring nothing  much to see out the windows just plain grass lands occasionally a few animals. During the drive we stopped in Bahia Blance and I must say it looked impressive the bus station was eve…
