In the first episode of this series, Eoin takes you to Colombia, where our first destination is the city of Medellin. Here, there are football ultras trying to make the world a better place, and there is a football club trying to get away from the historic association with Pablo Escobar.
There is the national sport of Tejo, where drinking beer is encouraged and making things explode is the aim of the game.
In Bogota, we hear about a national obsession with cycling, and how it’s intertwined - and not for the better - with the current politics of Colombia. There is better news on the women’s football front, however, as the national team gains positive headlines.
There is also alcohol tasting, a bus that gets stuck in the highland mud and a dog-friendly MMA gym.
Before all that, there’s part one of the Patagonian hitchhiking journey, as Eoin tries to get a lift out of the town of Bariloche.
