Our boy Dave is continuing his travel adventures, this time heading down into Patagonia country.

“Since early November, I’ve had a trip planned to do a 7-day hike to Machu Picchu with some friends. Since late December, I’ve planned to tack on an additional month in Argentina beforehand. Some of you may see it as irresponsible or imprudent to go halfway around the world while unemployed, and you may be right. But rare are the opportunites in life to take this kind of time to do something that you love. Traveling in Argentina will be an incredible opportunity to explore a country that has vast wilderness and is active in protecting it. Hiking to Machu Picchu will be a fascinating way to learn about past civilizations and test my individual meddle above 12,000 feet. ”
