About this episode

In this episode, Mariel and her friend Jesi explore the unique experiences and community life in Merlo, Argentina.

In this second part, we return to Merlo — a small mountain town in central Argentina that quietly pulls people in. What starts as a peaceful place full of nature and community slowly reveals something deeper: a different rhythm of life, a strong sense of connection… and a whole world of experiences you wouldn’t expect. Together with my friend Jesi, we explore what you can actually do there — and what might end up changing the way you see things.
