Sandra is proud to be a porterla and regularly returns to Argentina to investigate what the wildly fluctuating peso - which keeps her fully employed as a guidebook researcher - is doing.
As well as writing many of the chapters of this book, over the last decade Sandra has contributed to a couple of dozen Lonely Planet titles on four continents.
