It's no secret why Patagonia attracts adventure lovers from all over the world. With 260,000 square miles of vast, wild landscapes at the southern end of South America, this region exposes you to nature in its rawest and purest form. This film documents my first week in Patagonia – full of difficult challenges, extreme highs and lows, and intense emotions. Enjoy!

This is Part 1 of my Patagonia series – taking place in El Chalten and El Calafate, Argentina. Check out Part 2 and 3 below:

PART 2:    • GLAMPING IN PATAGONIA | Torres del Pa...

➡ ABOUT ME
My name is Crosby and I've been a fulltime traveler and digital nomad since 2020. After a few corporate jobs throughout college, I quickly realized that the 95 lifestyle wasn’t for me. So in 2019, I took the leap into the freelance world and in 2020, I started traveling the world fulltime – from solo traveling Mexico to road tripping Portugal to living in a travel trailer, I'm absolutely addicted to this lifestyle. At the moment, I'm spending 3 months exploring Argentina!
