 9 months in South America and North America

When I was in my early 30's, I made a promise to myself : "Girl, by 35, I want you to do be in a place that you would have chosen, not imposed on by the routine ! It can be a new home, a new city, a new job, but it needs to make you happy and you need to enjoy your life !". It is only lately that I have remembered that promise... I'm now 35 and I have realised that I'm the only one responsible for my own happiness. So I have quit my comfortable job in London and decided to go on another adventure...

Une certaine lassitude marque la fin de la première partie de ce voyage. La vie sur la route a un prix : les amis et la famille qui vous manquent, les neveux et nièces qu'on ne voit pas grandir, le confort de son lit et d'une douche à soi, ainsi que les nombreuses heures de bus et d'avion. La routine a aussi son charme après tout. Je ne me plains évidemment pas et goûte la chance de vivre de telles expériences, mais je me sens fatiguée mentalement.


Après une journée de pause à Salta dans le Nord de l'Argentine et une autre à Tupiza dans le Sud de la Bolivie, je joins une excursion de 4 jours dans le fameux désert de sel des Salars de Uyuni en Bolivie : 4 jours en jeep à travers les montagnes, (jusqu'à 5000 mètres d'altitude), le désert, les lagunes, les formations rocheuses pour terminer sur cette étendue blanche de sel de plus de 10000 km² à 3700 mètres d'altitude.

Notre groupe se compose de 2 Hollandais, Ivo et Kevin, un couple d'Italiens Andrea et Diana, et une famille Américaine, Brenda, Johanna, et leurs enfants KC et Dexter. Grâce  à eux, je passe 4 jours pleins de bonne humeur, de rigolade et d'amitié, je me sens de nouveau pleine d'énergie et je termine l’Amérique du Sud en beauté. Je ne pouvais pas mieux tomber.

A certain weariness marks the end of the first part of this journey. Life on the road has a price: the friends and family that you miss, the nephews and nieces you do not see growing, the comfort of your bed and a shower to yourself, as well as the crazy hours of buses flights. The routine also has its charm afterall. I obviously do not complain and appreciate the chance to enjoy such experiences, but I feel tired mentally.

After a day's break in Salta in northern Argentina and another in Tupiza in southern Bolivia, I join a 4-day tour to the famous desert of salt in the Salar of Uyuni in Bolivia: 4 days in a jeep through the mountains (up to 5000 meters high), the desert, the lagoons and the rock formations to finish on this white salt area of more than 10000 km² at 3700 meters high.

Our group consists of 2 Dutch, Ivo and Kevin, an Italian couple Andrea and Diana, and an American family, Brenda, Johanna, and their children KC and Dexter. Thanks to them, I spend 4 days full of good humor, fun and friendship, I feel full of energy again and I finish South America on a high note. I could not have hoped better.
