Person
Peter Hutchison first visited Central America in 1992 when he travelled extensively through the region and onto South America... using FootPrint all the way! After two years working in Bolivia as a journalist on the Bolivian Times he returned to the UK. Attempts to settle in the UK have proved partially successful, but the attractions of Latin America continue regularly to pull him back to the region.
