Puelo River



My best holiday ever was two summers ago when I went to Puelo with a friend, because his family has a house there. Puelo is in the south of Chile, near Puerto Montt, to the east. It was awesome because their place was really big, and it has a forest right next to this house! I stayed for about two weeks, and my friend stayed more. We went to the Puelo River and some small lagoons that are really close. We used to explore and walk a lot, because there were a lot of interesting natural places around and the town was 10 km away from where we were staying, so we had to walk a lot if we needed anything.


It’s been the best holiday because we were really isolated from the civilization, we rarely had telephone or internet signal, and we had to cook in a “Salamandra”, a wood-burning stove used to both to cook and to heat the house, so everything was super rural.


With this map you can get an idea of where Puelo is located.


Puelo is best known for being an excellent place for fishing. We don't like
fishing so we can't give you any advice about that.





This is the Puelo river. We were staying near it. If you go in the night
you can have an outstanding view of the stars and the river. Make sure it's not cloudy.

Alex Supertramp failure Wannabe: Svalbard

I would like to go to Svalbard, an archipelago to the north of Norway. Even though it’s part of Norway, it isn’t administratively related to any of the Norwegian County. I’d like to go to there because there isn’t many people around. The population is below 3.000 people. I really like its cold weather and its restraint from the rest of the world, as well as its Nordic environment and relation with Norway and Russia.

I really don’t know much about Svalbard, because I just googled it, but according to Wikipedia its environment and the tourism in it looks pretty interesting. I would like to stay there and see the time pass by without worrying too much about the civilization, be able to see the stars and hopefully the northern lights. In order to do this I would work in a seaport because it would allow me to travel, also Psychology (my career) wouldn’t be of much use there. 



Astonishing 




I mean, look at this polar bear, it's actually calling me.
How could you say no to him?
