Description:

 

“The truth about stories is, that’s all we are.”

 

- Thomas King

If you’re looking at this trip, then you are (probably) someone who enjoys going on trips, thinking about future trips, remembering trips you’ve been on, and hearing about others’ trips. Every trip is a story, sometimes a short one, sometimes a long one. Sometimes there’s suspense and drama, sometimes there’s the recollection of all things going well. From day hikes to multi-week expeditions - whatever the trip - there’s a story behind it. Each Tuesday, at 7:05pm, from now until it’s no longer needed, this will be a digital space to share stories and hear them.

 

This week Lucy Buchanan-Parker and Alberto Contreras Sanz will share stories from two months of cycling in the unique high desert of the Puna de Atacama (northern Argentina & Chile & a bit of Bolivia). Featuring salt flats, sand, wind, red lakes, flamingos, vicuñas, and cycling at almost 5,000m.

 

Anne Vialettes will tell us about when she went for a month of hitchhiking and hiking around South Chile and Argentina last November. Come learn about what tent not to bring, which river not to ford before a rainstorm, what chilean hospitality is and what patagonia time really means!
