Someone explain to me what the Panda Projects are!
When I started with the idea of having a blog, I wanted to write about traveling (in fact several of the articles were about that) to show different places and what had happened to me in each of them. Totally personal experiences, because different things resonate with each of us. 2020 was, as we all … Leer Más Someone explain to me what the Panda Projects are!
I ❤❤ Walla Walla
One of my favorite activities is traveling. I love not only knowing new places, but also being able to talk with the people who live in them because that enriches my life and also always gives me the opportunity to learn something new. The pandemic, as we already know, greatly reduced the ability to move … Leer Más I ❤❤ Walla Walla
Small but rewarding adventures
Last week there was heavy snowfall across many parts of the United States and Washougal, Washington was no exception. For me it was the first time that I experienced a storm like the one we had … well, not only for me, I heard that something like this had not been experienced for 100 years, … Leer Más Small but rewarding adventures
Philosophizing
Today is Friday and it is snowing in Washougal, WA which is where I live. For a week the weather forecast announced this snowfall, which is going to last all weekend and I was and still very excited. Snow for me is something different, something I experienced for the first time in my 50s and … Leer Más Philosophizing
Enjoying nature watching birds
Perhaps due to the pandemic or early retirement or a third and inexplicable reason 🙂 we began to be interested in birds. At first timidly putting some feeders on our deck and learning that different types of seeds attract different birds. The challenge remains to recognize who our guests are for breakfast and lunch 🙂 … Leer Más Enjoying nature watching birds
Stop 2020, I want to get off
A little over a month ago we took a few days to get to know the Umpqua River area in the state of Oregon. It was a short but wonderful trip because the area is beautiful. Unfortunately it is one of the areas affected by the fires and where many people had to be evacuated. To this day … Leer Más Stop 2020, I want to get off
A visit to the Olympic National Park
2020 has changed many of our normal activities and how we travel is one of them. In our case, we have decided to make short road trips that replace the one long one that we have been doing every year. These new trips need to be close to home and have some kind of camping … Leer Más A visit to the Olympic National Park
Exploring Oregon: Coos Bay
The pandemic has changed our lives in many ways. The simple and “normal” things like to go to visit friends and by the way give them a hug, or just go out became complicated to do depending on where you are living. Something that we were used to doing was to travel and this blog … Leer Más Exploring Oregon: Coos Bay
Vietnam and Cambodia (Last chapter)
Here I go with the last part of this unforgettable trip that we were lucky to do in February of this so unusual 2020. When the cruise ended, we were taken by minibus to Siem Reap, a city which is in itself interesting but also the closest place to the ruins of Angkor Wat, the most famous … Leer Más Vietnam and Cambodia (Last chapter)
Everything has its Side B
First of all I want to thank you for all the greetings and beautiful messages I received on the news of the approval of my residency in the United States. They truly filled my heart with so much love. If you know me and have spent time with me you know that I will tell … Leer Más Everything has its Side B
Some good news during bad times
This whole story started on a cold Sunday in July, 2012 with Eleonora; yes, the one with surprises … I think that this was probably the first … She asked me if I could speak English because she wanted to give my contact info to an American coworker of Juan’s, her boyfriend at the time and … Leer Más Some good news during bad times
Still exploring the flavors of Vietnam
Before concentrating again on the food tour, I want to tell you that a few days ago I received a surprise gift from one of my friends from Argentina. It’s not the first time that Eleonora has surprised me, and I think that doing it again will “leave me dry,” a rather old phrase that … Leer Más Still exploring the flavors of Vietnam
Flavors of Southeast Asia
I have been and still am a fan of Anthony Bourdain and his programs, in which he travels the world trying out different foods, some of which had never crossed my mind to try. His program was really entertaining because, in addition to the food, he talked about the history of each place he visited. Bourdain was … Leer Más Flavors of Southeast Asia
A little more from Cambodia
Before coming back to my trip I want to say that last week was a little hard for me, maybe because we had tickets to go to Buenos Aires at the beginning of April, and of course we couldn’t go; maybe because April 2nd is the anniversary of the Malvinas war, and this is a … Leer Más A little more from Cambodia
Here we go again
Hi my friends, during the last week I have wanted to come back to my blog to continue with the trip in Asia. I opened a section called Misceláneas but it’s only in Rioplatense Spanish, with some expressions that are only understood in Argentina. Here’s a video from an American guy called Dustin Luke who … Leer Más Here we go again

The Asia trip continues
Before starting with tales about the trip I want to share something that I have been thinking during the whole week, related to the coronavirus. It crossed my mind that I could be kind of shallow if I spent my time writing about trips and seemed not to be concerned about this big topic (I’m … Leer Más The Asia trip continues
Discovering Asia
The trip that we took to Vietnam and Cambodia imparted many life lessons; I enjoyed it especially because I wasn’t really crazy about going there, even though that part of the world intrigued me, but these two countries were not the first on my list to visit.But when you are in a couple, decisions are … Leer Más Discovering Asia
My blog in English (at last)
In 2016 Barnaby and I decided to come to live to Portland, OR after a couple of years living in sin in Buenos Aires, the city in which I was born, raised and spent all my life.
