My trailer in Argentina isn’t nearly as nice as my last two in New Mexico….

but it’s still nicer than my cubicle made of sheets in New York City

In Patagonia (and in mountain ranges around the world) they have these things called refugios where you can sleep and eat pizza and drink wine and beer. This one is 10k up the mountain (or a four hour brutal hike) in the middle of Patagonia. Most people sleep in tents around the area because it’s free. Anyone is allowed to use their bathrooms though.

This was so confusing to me when I first saw it! Apparently you are supposed to stand over this hole.

Luckily they had a drawing to explain.

What I don’t understand is why they have toilets sitting outside the bathroom!

I made it back safe and sound y’all. See you next week!

I’m going climbing for a week in Patagonia so I won’t have internet access. I’ll be back the following week with more adventures!

This is how you have fun making a sustainable house out of recycled materials and the earth.

And this is what it what the house will look like. A fairytale house!
