There's a moment when you're pissed off at all your friends, there's no one in your family you ever want to speak to again, and work sucks as only a job you ended up in by default, can.

Landing in Argentina with plans to stay for eight to ten weeks, he embarked on the adventure of a lifetime. Eight years and more stories than he can count he hasn't left. These are his stories, along with two dozen classic and modern recipes
