Initially while Negar and I were planning our trip to South America we did a lot of research on volunteer opportunities, where in exchange for a few hours of work a day you would then provided with food and accommodation. We figured after a few months of traveling it might be nice to stay in one place for an extended period of time and be useful, and on top of that it would save us some money and allow us to travel a bit longer.

Alright... Too much time has passed since my last blog post and s*** has hit the fan time and again, so here we go with all the updates! We arrived in Mendoza on the bus from Tucuman where we were forced to stay against our will for an evening.
