ARGENTINA – 18th June to 4th July Argentina - home to Evita, Gauchos, huge steaks and Iguacu Falls. This country is huge, almost the size of India, and houses some of the most beautiful looking people on the planet – luckily they let me in to explore…. The majority of my time in Argentina has been spent in the buzzing, nocturnal city of Buenos Aires. En route I stopped in Salta in the north and Cordoba in the centre before losing myself in the fiesta th...

Still – whats life for if not for risking??!! The drive and boat ride to our base camp was spectacular, ...

The same day twice screwed with my mind and body but I vowed not sleep. 1st challenge was to bat off a tosser of a taxi driver who tried to rip me off as soon a I left the airport. Success. 2nd was to find a bed. I jumped on the underground in what seemed like rush hour, walked 10 blocks and ...
