Sample Post 8 :::: Summer Holidays


Summer Holidays 2018

We have so many ideas about what to do this summer… but we work in Tourism so when everybody is on holidays, we’re working –which is not that bad because we like it and we get to travel to very nice and interesting places.
One plan is to travel to Cochamó, near Puerto Montt. This is a beautiful area of Patagonia norte with amazing sceneries full with nature. If we go there, we’ll spend most of our time with friends in Raíces del Viento, an NGO that has interesting programs to live and learn there. We’ll visit Río Puelo and of course, as well as the valley of Cochamó because that’s the place where we can go rock climbing!
The other plan is to stay in Santiago and travel to Pomaire and San Antonio a lot because we work with tourists coming on the cruises. So, as cruises are not arriving to Valparaíso anymore, from San Antonio, we take them either to Pomaire or Santiago. If this is the case, we’ll stay in Las Cruces where my Mum lives, so she could babysit for us. We have two babies and we go with them everywhere except for work but sometimes, if we have no other option, we take them with us.

We love travelling so are used to move a lot and packing and unpacking backpacks and suitcases, so this summer we hope we come back home full with nice memories, experiences and pictures.
