Almost on the road again

Traducción al castellano abajo.

The last 6 months are finally over!!! ufff, can't believe it yet.  

Today is my first day of holidays, or unemployment, however you want to put it.

Now I have to get my stuff together, as I don't plan in coming back to Argentina for at least a couple of years. It all fits in a 65 lt bag... I hope, cause that's all I'm taking.

On Monday I have to go back to the Agency to sign some papers from the Admin. department, and hopefully that same night I can catch a bus to Trenque Lauquen and then a ride to 30, to visit my aunts, cousins & grams. 

Then Santa Rosa, finally going back to my hometown after like 2 yrs! Besides hanging out with friends and eating as many asados as I possibly can, I gotta go to the dentist & hairdresser (I seriously need to go get something done with this hair of mine, it's a complete mess lately).

I was planning on going either to Cordoba or Punta del Este afterwards, unfortunately I don't think I'll make it in time :S

Mozambique is gonna be so awesome! I haven't been there for like 10 years and I'm so looking forward to it. Spending some time with my family, tropical weather & amazing beaches is the perfect combination to make the best holidays ever.

And then... Ireland. But that's another long story, for which I have the visa and travel date, but I have so many things before that I can't completely focus on this voyage yet.

Al fin terminaron los ultimo’s 6 meses. Todavia no lo puedo creer. 

 

Hoy es mi primer dia de vacaciones, o desempleo, como quieras ponerlo.

 

Ahora tengo que ponerme a organizar mis cosas, ya que no planeo en volver a Argentina al menos por el proximo par de años. Todo lo que llevo tiene que entrar en una mochila de 60 litros… o al menos eso espero, porque eso es todo lo que voy a llevar.

 

El lunes tengo que volver a la agencia a firmar no se que papeles que me pidieron de administración y espero poder viajar esa misma noche para Trenque Lauquen y de ahí a 30 de agosto a visitar a mis tias, tios, primos y abuela.

 

De ahí, Santa Rosa, hace como 2 años que no voy para alla. Ademas de visitar amigos y comer tantos asados como pueda, tengo que ir al dentista y la peluqueria (definitivamente necesito un corte de pelo urgente!)

 

Tenia pensado ir a Cordoba o Punta del Este después, pero lamentablemente creo que no llego con los tiempos (ni hablar de con la plata!)

 

Volver a Mozambique va a estar genial! Hace 10 años que no voy! Tengo muchas ganas de pasar tiempo con mi familia, en un lugar de clima tropical y lindas playas.

 

Y después… Irlanda¡ Pero esa ya es otra historia, para la cual tengo la visa y la fecha de viaje, pero tengo muchisimas otras cosas que preparar antes.

Ephemeral Art Museum

If there is one thing to absolutely love about Palermo, it's the amazing quantity and quality of Street Art. This would be a perfect place to have an Ephemeral Art Museum! Raf

A Surf town with no waves

It's a small yet colorful town on the sea-side, cars go by with boards and kayaks on their rooftops. Boys and girls with bleached hair longboard barefooted on the coastal road. There are plenty of surf shops and surf schools around. They built an artificial reef which cost millions of dollars and works only as a home to fish. If you search online, it is tagged as a surf destination. Yet, there are no waves. On a really good day, you are lucky to get a 3 footer. That has only happened once in the past 3 months. It's like a pretend town. It's beautiful, but it's built around something it doesn't have. Hopefully the summer will prove me wrong. I would be really happy to be proven wrong.

Getting Ready

Days until departure: 12 Preparations have started.  I am taking advantage of a lull with my clients and my own bootstrapped projects to focus on making sure I pack everything we need while trying to keep to the absolute basics- an oxymoron in itself.  The goal is to travel with one backpack each and dispatch a duffel bag.  I am the Queen of Lists Where are we taking off to? North of Sweden, in the Gulf of Bothnia (Ever heard of it? Me neither until about 2 months ago). Way up north in the Gulf of Bothnia, see where Oslo is for reference Why that destination? We've been on the lookout for a sailboat for a couple of years. Although we've saved some money, it's on the lower side and not enough to buy a sailboat that meets what we need, so we've been hunting for an opportunity. Those who know us understand that we are quite frugal, so our requirements are pretty basic. We've visited a few boats, but none were right, either because of their price or condition. But now
