What is Pen Paper Paradise Salta?
You know that fantasy you have about running away to South America to explore the mountains, learn Spanish and live the life of an expat while you WRITE?
That’s my Salta retreat!
PPP Salta is a unique retreat in that you choose the dates that work best for you and the amount of time you want to spend writing. You can e-mail me at any time by clicking here or on any of the e-mail buttons on this page. Tell me a bit about yourself and when you’d like to come to Salta.
You’ll find your writer’s paradise where you escape the northern hemisphere for a week surrounded by the gorgeous foothills of the Andes mountains where you’ll treat yourself like the literary genius you are, learn from intensive workshops, get a whole lotta writing done, and chill at your own private apartment in the bustling city center.
Yep, you read that right. You will have 7 days to do nothing but learn, write, and explore one of the oldest cities in South America.
You simply can’t help but be creative and write in this gorgeous and incredibly supportive setting!

Can I book retreat dates for later in the year? Or next year?
Yes! While my website lists booking dates for the current season, you are welcome to choose dates later in the year or beyond. This retreat is based on your schedule.

You can pay all at once or in installments. All payments must be complete before the start of the retreat!
What food can we expect? I have a lot of allergies and intolerances.
Don’t worry! I’ll be asking for your dietary restrictions before the retreat to prepare for your arrival. There are also lots of restaurants and stores that cater to all dietary needs. There's bound to be something for everyone! It’s hard to write on empty, sad tummy, so I make good food a big priority.

You’ll fly into the nearest airport where I’ll arrange transportation to pick you up and bring you to the retreat. You’ll get the address and all the other pertinent details in a Welcome Packet once you’re officially in!

Since this retreat is tailored to your needs, I am very flexible with registration dates. We'll arrange the details together.
