Summer Holidays

For my summer vacation I would like to travel with a very good friend and visit Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and Colombia. We will work through the way north creating crafts, singing at restaurants or juggling in the streets, anything is valid when you have a goal in mind and even better if it’s a trip. All of this will be done on February because in January we will go to the south of Chile, specifically route 9 from Puerto Natales to Usuahia (Tierra del Fuego), we have friends to visit all over the route that are already writing to us and asking when will we start our travel, the goal is pretty ambitious but not impossible.
In order to raise money for the first days we will work at a big rock festival called “Woodstaco” at Teno, a small town near Curicó. At Woodstaco we will sell corn with butter or mayonnaise to the hippies that go to that festival, where they all camp and enjoy the music in the outdoors for three days. Only by thinking about everything that we are planning of doing during this summer I get moved and excited, it makes me want December to go faster so we can enjoy the sunlight far from Santiago at the chore of a river or at a forest full of trees and tranquility near good friends that play the guitar and accordion. Then go north to travel and learn from South America and its culture rich in indigenous history and Aymara or Kechua worldview. I will no doubt go back to the university in March encouraged and cheerful.
