CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Cat - I've been travelling since mid-January having quit my office job working in London, and after getting qualified as a personal trainer. Hoping to start getting some experience when I get back home and make it some sort of a career to stay out of office life. Since starting travelling I've tried to pick up as much Spanish as I can and have realised how much I love being in the outdoors, on mountain tops and by lakes, so hoping to take a bit of time in Bariloche initially and make the most of all that is on offer here.

Roberta - I have been travelling since the beginning of January. I quit my job in accounts and decided to spend a few months travelling around South America. When I get home I plan to join the Police as like Catherine I don't like working in an office! I'm loving everything that travelling has to offer and making the most of it before I have to go back to the real world!!!

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy what you're doing right now and don't worry too much about the future

Music, Movies, and Books

Cat - No favourites here I'm afraid! I find there's different movies, music etc for different moods and occasions and I wouldnt know where to start with what interests me most.

Roberta - I don't have a favourite film but my favourite genre is action! I don't really have a favourite type of music - I have quite eclectic tastes (especially since coming to South America), and I love to read all sorts of books!!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cat - most amazing part of my trip so far (and hardest) has been climbing Huayna Potosi in Bolivia. After climbing through ice and snow through the dark to the summit I saw the most beautiful sunrise that I'll never forget!

Roberta - The most amazing thing I have done is a 6 day trek in Venezuela up Mount Roiama. Partly because I had never done anything like that before and it was a massive personal challenge but also because it was just amazing...incredible landscapes and just a great opportunity!

Teach, Learn, Share

Share our travel knowledge and experience, from funny stories to the best way to get around, and the best places to eat! Hoping to learn about local cultures and where to find the best nightlife!
