HOW WE DECIDED TO PUDU….WOULDN’T YOU?

Emma and John met in 2002 in Ho Chi Mingh, Vietnam. They fell in love, traveled together, lived in Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and now Argentina. They got married in 2006 on the west coast of Ireland.

While traveling around India, Nepal, and Tibet, they decided on a whim to book a one- way ticket to Argentina, mainly to snowboard for a season, but with the background thought of setting up a business that would allow them to live somewhere that rocked. They arrived in Bariloche, and never left.

They met up with Leo through a mutual friend a few months after arriving in Bariloche. He had moved there 4 years ago from Buenos Aires. Soon a plan started to hatch between the 3. They began to search Bariloche for a building that could become the best, and most unique hostel in town…..and found it.

So after months of renovation, we hereby present to you…… PUDU

So in Patagonia, whatever you do……PUDU
