National Geographic and Patagonia

The Feb. issue of National Geo has a piece in it titled the Power of Patagonia, pictorially stunning. Also some great info similar to what my guide in Torres del Paine National Park in Chile told me. It was a press trip party of one experience, myself and a guide. I have done plenty of group trips and several on my own trips. If asked what I like better it is a tough question and the answer would be both. I like meeting a very small group and have several favorite editors and writers I frequently hook up with over again. That perhaps is my greatest pleasure, traveling with people I know well, the mode lends itself to that. Yet meeting some new faces is also a wonderful thing, the next time they are part of that old friend thing. Many anyways, I treasure the people I’ve meet and kept up with over the years. I do find that solo however gives you the most info, when the guide is yours and your alone, it should be that way. Still diners with others in your field is always a learning experience, you almost always learn something about yourself. That is also part of the job.
