Turning 30 in New York City

September 29, 2018

Originally published on September 25, 2018 on the Atlas Corps Blog Yesterday, I turned 30 in New York City.

Saying goodbye to that empanada life and back to RICE!!!! 🍚 #babyimback #mendoza #argentina #goodbye #asia #hello #empanadas #empanada #empanadasargentinas

If you ever find yourself in Mendoza and want to go horseback riding, don’t book online. I didn’t want to listen to the Argentinians we were with but in the end they were right! In Potrerillos and Lunlunta there are loads of cabalgatas (horseback riding ranches) and gauchos waiting by the road side happy to take you riding. 🐎 The farther and more remote the location the cheaper and more authentic it gets. I originally thought to pay some US$75 for sunset riding with asado in the mountains but plans were waylaid. Instead we found some dusty local horsemen who offered 30 min to 1 hour trips in their hilly backyard criss-crossing streams and fincas (farmsteads?). ZERO safety precautions (no helmets! No lessons!) and got scratched to bleeding and almost unseated because the horses were literally running wild. In the end they charged us ARS200 or something crazy cheap like that (US$3) 😱 would you do it?!! #potrerillos #mendoza #horsebackriding #argentina #sunset

🌻🌞 Today I spent one hour writing an 11-page letter by hand to express gratitude to @travelgaucho who also took this photo. Have you thanked someone today? From our pit stop along the route of the seven lakes... #rutadelos7lagos #patagonia #argentina
