I´ve passed through Neuquén on the bus before on my way to Bariloche the first few days after I arrived in Argentina. It doesn´t seem like too impressive of a city, but the surrounding deserts are full of dinosaur fossils and I come back to explore these ... Read more >

I left the farm on Friday after three and a half weeks. Despite my intial complaining, I really loved it and had a hard time leaving. The original plan was to go back in January after some traveling, but I decided it´s best to just leave now. I´ll go ... Read more >
