One of the highlights of visiting El Calafate is to visit the Perito Moreno Glacier. Having recently returned from Antarctica I wasn’t sold on the idea of seeing the glacier. Would it be a let-down after the incredible sights I’d seen in the icy south? Not to...
Returning to El Calafate from El Chalten I knew I wanted to take a week out to catch up on editing photos from Antarctica and putting together the finishing touches for a course I had created on business blogging. I found a lovely apartment through AirBnB. The...
My original plan had been to do the W; a 4 day hike around Fitz Roy. Due to injuries it was not to be, yet I was still keen to visit El Chaltén, where the W starts from. Even the road leading to the town was stunning . . . El Chaltén is known as Argentina’s...

My mission as I travel throughout Latin America is to volunteer with rescue animals in each country that I visit. I’ve done this before in Thailand, Guatemala and New Zealand and it’s been a wonderful experience. The Ranch Dog Shelter (Mexico) is the second...
Ajijic is a small town that sits on the shores of Lake Chapala, which is the largest lake in all of Mexico! I travelled to Ajijic from Buenos Aires as I had been lucky enough to secure a house sit for the month of May looking after Will & Grace (love those...
We left Port Lockroy in the early hours of the morning to make our way up to the Lemaire Channel. This is an icy part of the world and we’re not sure if we’ll make it to our next destination of Port Charcot as the ship hadn’t made it so far South this season. ...
