About

Traveling and living abroad since I was 4, primarily in South America. In Nov 2015 I and my hiking partner began walking north from Ushuaia, Argentina with a goal of walking the length of the Andes and traveling the Americas by non-motorized means to the Arctic Ocean, a 5 year endavour. Our goals is to learn about and share local culture with our followers but, as the journey wears on, we more and more welcome being connected to the expat community for a sense of home and relief. We are currently 6000 km in to the walking segment, crossing the Bolivian altiplano at present.
Interests: long distance walking, culture, Gender studies

Occupation

I am Self-employed.
