Research for series of articles on women in Argentina and Brazil

As my trip to Argentina and Brazil came to an end, my articles to be written now include:

1. Brazil: Araxa: Women working in the province of Minas Gerais, Brazil.

2. Days out from the hustle and bustle.
Buenos Aires to La Plata, Tigre and other places to visit.

3. HDYTSWITG?
Or How do you treat single women in this gaff? This is a personal investigation by a journalist travelling alone. Results will be on here by the end of the week. The best so far is:
La Estancia opposite the Botanic Gardens. Full marks!
www.pedidosya.com.ar.
Highly recommended.
The worst will be named and shamed this week!

GoNomad travel writing

Researching for my trip to South America, I’ve come across the GoNomad website and found some really interesting articles for solo women travellers or women who like to travel in a group.
The photos are always interesting and give me an idea of what to expect; I loved these ones on the Romania trip.GoNomad ROMANIA

The Vermont (Battenkill Valley) article entitled “Vermont: Cows and Covered Bridges”. This would be really useful if I were visiting Vermont; in fact, it’s given me the idea! Some of the information seems relevant to my travels in Dorset in the UK The listings are really detailed too and you can use car, public transport and even bike using these. I loved all the suggestions for places to stop and in this heatwave, ice-cream seems like such a good idea.
Lots of useful tips for me in Buenos Aires from Editor Max Hartshone who writes about a trip to the capital city and also the famous Iguazu Falls.

There is also a very useful article about Volunteering and I hope to add my contribution to this area, after my upcoming trip to Buenos Aires.

Current projects: El indalo

I am resident as an artist and writer in Zona Imaginaria in Buenos Aires later in 2018. This project will allow me to work with local children and adults while staying in the house. Work from this residency will be shown in Medway in the UK (in several locations) and may travel even further afield. Keep checking this website for further details.
Currently preparing a project using a symbol painted in a Spanish cave in Neolithic times, located in Almeria, Spain. Known as “El indalo” I am using this symbol to explore the idea of luck, and how superstition, gut feelings and feeling positive affect the lives of modern day women. Work created to date included sculptures, a handmade book, collages and prints. I am resident as an artist and writer in Zona Imaginaria in Buenos Aires later in 2018.
