South America

I was extremely fortunate to take a career break and travel through South America in 2009.
During this time I wrote a blog for my friends and family to keep up to date with our trip.

I've decided to publish it as I wrote it at the time (although editing is tempting!). I was an absolute novice traveller at the time, and it's nice to read a lot of those first time moments in a whole new culture, experiencing a whole new language.
