Simon Bidwell
Grinding out a living in a government department in Wellington, New Zealand, pays the bills for Simon Bidwell to gradually fulfill his ambition of seeing every part of Latin America. Much of the story so far is at www.bidsta.blogspot.com while www.andean-observer.com will have a collection of writing and images when it’s finally finished. Simon occasionally has freelance articles published in various New Zealand newspapers and maagzines. His greatest achievement to date is defeating all the locals in a beer-drinking race at 3,800 metres above sea level on the Peruvian Altiplano.
