A couple of months in the life of Alexia So seem to have been a little slack updating everyone with my travel adventures, so here is a quick overview of the ups, downs, ins and outs of the past few months - and what a couple of months it has been! Last thing I mentioned was our iminent arrival in Colombia. With a little intrepidation we jumped on a plane headed for that blight on the parental-travel-worry-radar only to fall head over heals for the whole c...

We were warned that it is Patagonia so it wi...

It's day 11 of my5 month international advertures and I've loved every moment so far!
