Description

Hi there! We are Patricio and Daniela, but everybody calls us Pato and Dani. We come from San Luis, a small place in the middle of Argentina, where people love spending the day in the riverside with friends or family while drinking mate (an Argentinian drink, for sure you have seen Messi with a cup and a straw, yeah that´s the one we are talking about).
You can always find us outside, we love being outdoors, walking barefoot, climbing mountains or trees, smell flowers or swimming in the river. When we are not out there, we are making our own cinema series, reading, playing some board-games or planning our next adventure.
Our curiosity for the world, far away countries, different cultures and languages that confuse our brain inside-out made us jump into a plane and take off somewhere on the other side of the planet.
But it is not our aim just to simple go around falling for the beauty of ancient cultures or admiring the breath-taking landscapes of the world, we also want to get to know local communities and be able to make a possitive contribution. We want to compromise with something bigger than ourselves, we would like to live our life making a good impact with anything we do and we are ready to learn from anybody who would like to share their wisdom with us, and ready to help with their projects consciously as well.
