Argentina was my best adventure, it was such a varied and memorable trip.  From the city of Buenos Aires with its tango and tapas to the magnificent Iguazu Falls experienced from both the Argentinean and Brazilian sides as well as a thrilling speedboat ride taking me close enough to feel its fresh spray!  I also enjoyed an homestay on an estancia where I rode the polo ponies and observed the local guacho’s , as well as a jungle trek  at night. It was also the first time I zip-wired through the dizzy heights of the forest and abseiled down a slippery waterfall. The whole trip was magical! 

I’m desperate to go to China next, it has so much to offer!  I’d love to see the Panda’s, trek along the Great Wall, shop in Beijing, see the Yangtzee River and Terracotta Warriors and taste real Chinese cuisine! There are so many places on my wish list from an African Safari to Vietnam and Cambodia, Peru and Brazil.   

My best piece of travel advice? Roll your clothes when packing to save room and avoid creasing!
