About the Author
About the Authors To do Argentina right, Shane Christensen (chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and appendix A) moved in with a Porteño family, committed himself to a rigorous steak-only diet, searched Buenos Aires for the perfect tango partner, and added a rich Argentine accent to his Mexican-learned Spanish. With his nascent Argentine credentials, he roamed the country's far corners, finding that no place in South America offers such geographic diversity and cultural distinction. A California native, Shane has written extensively in South America, Western Europe, and the United States for the Berkeley Guides, Fodor's, and the Wall Street Journal. He is now a U.S. diplomat serving in the Middle East. Kristina Schreck (chapters 1, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, appendix A, and appendix B) has traveled extensively throughout South America and has lived and worked in Argentina and Chile for 5 years. She now resides in Chile; and though she fell in love with its magical rhythm and its magnificent landscapes, she'll never understand the country's fondness for marinated sea urchin, bad soap operas, and cumbia music. Kristina is the former managing editor of Adventure Journal magazine, and she currently works as a freelance writer, translator, and outdoor guide.
