 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...

En choississant de passer 2 mois imprévus au Brésil, j'ai sacrifié mon passage au Chili, en Argentine et en Bolivie. Il me restait moins d'un mois pour profiter de ces 3 pays. Après quelques jours dans la capitale Argentine Buenos Aires, le choix est vite fait, impossible de passer outre la Patagonie !

La Patagonie, un mot à la consonnance magique, ce bout de pays lointain, au sud du monde, avec ses plaines, ses randonnées, ses glaciers et Ushuaia (qui ne s'est jamais dit "un jour j'irai là-bas" après avoir regardé Nicolas Hulot à la TV?).

Le premier stop sera El Calafate et son magnifique glacier Perito Moreno. On commence par admirer le glacier comme la plupart des touristes, de loin, perchés sur des balcons. Un spectable incroyable, surtout quand des bouts de glaciers se détachent, tombent et font un bruit terrifiant. Ensuite, on y fera un trek à marcher carrément dessus. Munis de nos crampons, on s'avance de plus en plus loin, en évitant les nombreuses crevasses.

By chosing to spend 2 unplanned months in Brazil, I sacrificed my time in Chile, in Argentina and in Bolivia. I had only less than one month left to enjoy these 3 countries. After few days in the capital Buenos Aires, the choice is easy, impossible to skip Patagonia !

Patagonia, a word with a magical consonance, this tip of country so far away, on the southern part of the earth, with its plains, its treks, its glaciers and Ushuaia, the most southern town in the world.

The first stop will be El Calafate and its magnificient glacier Perito Moreno. We start by admiring it as most of the tourists, from far, perched on balconies. A incredible spectacle, more particularly when some bits of the glacier separate, fall and make a terrifying noise. Afterwards, we trek walking straight on it ! With on cleats on, we walk further up, avoiding the numerous crevasses.
