The Tango Hunter
Jennie is a young college graduate from the U.S. Now that alone would not make her any different from a lot of young people wandering through South America. But Jennie is on a mission, a hunt you might say, to explore the culture and history of tango music. She received a prestigious Thomas J. Watson fellowship that provides her with enough funds to travel the world for a year to research a topic of her choosing. Her blog Tango Hunter: The Latest in Extreme Travel Sports is the chronicle of her independent research into tango. It should be a very interesting. She’s just landed in Buenos Aires where she will spend a few months before heading off to Uruguay, Costa Rica (there’s tango there?), and then Europe.
