Back in Charlie’s home town the gallery is jittery, an expectant hush ripples across the masses as the stewards hold up the all too familiar hand held sign calling for quiet. Tiger Winn takes to the first tee to address the ball, the Selebi Phikwe faithful have waited 19 years for the return of the […]
With the conflicting first view into Africa still on the platform of a Johannesburg train station we’re finally at the start of this road trip we’ve been looking forward to for so long. Loaded up with a mountain of Biltong and a few basic staples we’re in our home for the next few weeks to […]
The fateful day must come at some time and now the grim reaper stands before us, we’re leaving the bubble for the first time in Africa. The cosy little corner of lightly roasted coffee, balanced wine, natural beauty and working internet is soon to be a thing of the past. In our near future is […]

Buenos Aires hums and thrums with the pulse that only a big city can, a massive heaving mob of people crowded into a space probably a little too small and making something awesome of it anyway. In many ways BA represents so much of what Latin America has become to us: fashionable, energetic, disorganised and […]
Six months travelling from Mexico, Cuba, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Uruguay and Argentina has resulted in the below 26 shots which we seem to keep coming back to.
