In 1990 Nick Green did three jobs after school to save up enough money to fulfill his lifelong dream of visiting Machu Picchu. The first journey to - and a lasting love affair with - South America began the following year, turning 19 in Rio's Sambodromo.
Three Journeys to Patagonia asks why so many travelers have experienced the same overwhelming emotions and been mesmerized by Patagonia’s enduring sense of isolation, the notion of space and the rugged beauty of a landscape uncorrupted by man. 
Stories and historical accounts are pulled from different sources and presented to the reader as evidence that serves to prove the self-perpetuating nature of the enduring Patagonian mystique; from Bruce Chatwin’s Mylodon skin to Butch Cassidy’s log cabin.
Nick Green’s candid and sometimes hilarious diaries from 1991, 1998 and 2009 reveal a changing Patagonian and South American scene through the eyes of a boy becoming a man.
