15.01.-11.02.11 Estancia Nibepo Aike - El Calafate 2 days ago was my last day on the Estancia Nibepo Aike. I am now in El Calafate the next town 50km far away from the Estancia. Analia who works in the office for the estancia and who is as well a Couch Surfer offered me to stay with her for a couple of days until I have decided what to do. I am very sad right now as I had an absolute fantastic and unforgettable time on the farm. I arrived on Saturday, 15.01...

25.12.-31.12.10 Ushuaia I had a brilliant flight from BUENOS AIRES to USHUAIA on Christmas, the 25th of December 2010. Even though that I was very tired as I only had three hours sleep I only managed to sleep for the first couple of hours on the plane.

When we arrived in USHUAIA it rai...

17.12.-25.12.10 Salta / Buenos Aires After a wonderful 3 day stay in the beautiful town of SALTA in the north of ARGENTINIA I left Salta on Sunday, 19.12.10 at 3pm in the afternoon.
