Lots of Veggies but Zero Exercise
Recently I’ve talked extensively about the ‘journey’ part of my life and not so much about the keeping ‘lean’ part of it. In all honesty, that’s because over the past two and a half weeks I haven’t been doing much to contribute towards keeping fit. Other than walking a lot and some hiking, working out...
Chillin’ Out in Chile
Jimmy and I took a five hour bus journey from Agrentina to Chile on Friday morning. It was an early rise to catch the bus so we watched the sunrise while on the journey, eating pastries. We’d heard rumours that things were really strict at the Chilean border and people often had the entire contents of their bags emptied out onto the...
Cool as ice: Perito Moreno Glacier
I’ve been to many tourist attractions where my expectations are built up so high and I’m slightly (sometimes greatly) disappointed when I arrive and discover it’s not what everyone said it was. Perito Moreno Glacier did not cause that sinking feeling. Quite the opposite. The sight of the glacier, which towers 70 metres above...
Idea Versus Reality
Sometimes I really like the idea of something, then when it actually happens it’s not what I thought it would be. My most recent example of this is when Jimmy and I camped last week at Laguna de Los Tres in Patagonia. It was about a 6 mile hike to the lake. Being a photographer, Jimmy needs good light and wanted to catch it either at sunset...

Mince & Chickpea Stew: Easy Hostel Recipe
Today I’m off to see Perito Moreno Glacier. I don’t have much spare time for blogging so I wanted to share a quick recipe with you. It’s so basic that I’m not even sure it should be classed as a recipe. However, it’s the perfect meal to make in a hostel and I always appreciate [...]
El Chalten: A Hiker’s Paradise
As I mentioned here and here, Jimmy and I spent 6 nights in El Chalten in Patagonia, Argentina. If you like walking and hiking and all of that outdoorsy stuff it really is the perfect place to visit. We didn’t even come close to walking all of the trails available to us, only minutes from [...]
How My Eating Behaviours Have Evolved
I was that skinny teenager who ate whatever she wanted and didn’t gain any weight. What I wanted to eat didn’t usually involve fruit and vegetables either. It was more like chocolate, burgers and any kind of dessert. Then I was the late teens girl who was surprised when my body started to become less [...]
