6 Days

6. Spending time in Bariloche with new friends hiking, swimming, hitchhiking, and enjoying the scenery. The views of this Lake District hub in Argentina were stunning. It didn’t hurt to make some great friends along the way in Esquel and some of the other smaller towns along the way. Lots of time for reflection atContinue reading “6 Days”

I’m Baaack

But I think this is a great time to get back since there are some big things happening that I’ll be sharingContinue reading “I’m Baaack”
