One year since we left home and we started this trip
(Photo: Altiplanic Lagoons! if you need tips about San Pedro de Atacama just ask!)
So, we are so happy to tell you that we have been 1 year traveling South America :D Chile, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Argentina and then Chile again!
Some reflections:
When we started this trip we just had $500 bucks and the hope to learn more about people, countries and how the culture of our neighbors are mixed in this Southern America. In the middle of the trip we lost a memory card from Machu Picchu, we lost some weight (now we are recovering), we left our jobs and some kind of living, specially one of us, always in a big city, polluted, with some good cafes and lots of recitals (for South America I mean).
We started to live working hard, saving money, trying to know how local people live. We got a lot of experience, we met a lot of good friends, we have fabulous memories, we walked in amazing places, we learned how to survive 54 hours in a bus, and how a Belgian can be drunk and chase all the girls in a backpackers in New year night.
We were chased by some thieves, we went up and down, varying from sea level to more than 4000 mt above sea level, we got some serious infections, we got blisters and sore backs, we were robbed by our employers. But it was all worth it, we would do it all again, and here we are, 1 year later, still traveling, still meeting incredible places and people =D
