My new friends from Buenos Aires and all over.

Steve – My roommate and teammate on the NetHope project. A great guy! Good luck in Nairobi!!


Marisa – Accenture Consultant (or I should say Manager now, congrats on the promo to come) in Buenos Aires, who is very involved in local Corporate Citizenship initiatives. Marisa was exceedingly hospitable and made our stay in BsAs seem like a second home.


The Arch Team – This team helps support Senior Managers from all over North America. They helped make our transition to the Buenos Aires office seamless – and furthermore became great friends of ours.


Patrick and Marjian – A fun couple from Antwerp, Belgium. Patrick was working on a similar nonprofit consulting project for Ashoka in BsAs. We enjoyed good times “afterwork” drinking and making comical videos for their friends back in Belgium.

Cy and Tracy – A cool couple from Denver, Colorado. Steve’s old friends relocated to Buenos Aires looking for work and instead found several months of traveling and fun.

David and Darraugh - The unlikely trio met on a bus between Rio Gallegos and Calafate. David, a farmer from Spain’s Basque Country, Darraugh, a med school student from Ireland, and I spent our time in Calafate traversing glaciers and frozen lakes. David, who did not speak a lick of English and Darraugh, who did not speak a lick of Spanish, provided me a great opportunity to further advance my Spanish while living the life of a translator. Darraugh, an avid skier and snowboarder, was able to meet up with me again in Bariloche for the ski extravaganza.

Isabella and Antonio – Met in Ushuaia in our hostel before taking a boating trip around the Beagle Channel. Afterwards, we went out for dinner and drinks. Isabella was from Quebec Canada and Antonio was from Madrid Spain. The three of had very different perspectives on the world and the issues of today, which made for fascinating dialogue. We had a great time - perfect timing, participants and situation can allow strangers to learn so much from each other in such a short amount of time.

If you ever find yourself in Atlanta, please drop a line.
Thank you all for the great memories!!
