Meanwhile, somewhere in Argentina...

When you hike up in the Andes, there's no news.

You'd be forgiven for thinking that the world is no more than a beautiful and peaceful place.

Until you come down.

Then you start thinking that it might be prudent to re-stitch that Canadian flag on your pack.

Meanwhile, somewhere in The North...

Happy New Year, 2025!

If you're ever wondering where to spend a new year's eve,

You can't go wrong with picking somewhere pristine, away from all the TV horror news.

Especially if you're in a cozy cabin, with old friends.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Argentina...

Three day hike through the Andes near Bariloche in Patagonia.

Funny thing is, part of me is missing the near-death experience - I want to go back and do it again.

No doubt a psychoanalyst would have something to say about that...

Meanwhile, somewhere in Argentina...

Bariloche, Patagonia.

Similar to Banff, if you're from Canada.

Or Lake Tahoe, if you're from the US.

Or Chamonix Mont-Blanc, if you're from the EU.

There really isn't an equivalent in the UK.

You might come across some young Brits high on magic mushrooms.
