My best holiday

I always loved the south of Chile, because is a very magic place full of nature and kind people. That's the reason of why my travel through the Carretera Austral is by far the best holiday of my life. I went there in february of this year (2018) and I been there like four weeks because that highway has a long extention, almost eight hundred kilometers!

I went with three friends, two of them were my classmates of school and one was the girlfriend of one of them. We traveled together for about two weeks and a half, and then I continued alone, because they needed to comeback to Santiago, but I wanted to continue my journey. I recommend a lot to go to the Carretera Austral, because it has a lot of beautiful places. For example, we went to the marble chapels in the General Carrera lake and it was a really gorgeous thing to see. When I was without my friends I went to a small town called Caleta Tortel, and that is the most beautiful place I've ever been, because in Tortel there isn't streets but only walkways and docks, like a dream. A curious fact (and unbelievable) of this highway is that it real name is Carretera Austral General Augusto Pinochet Ugarte and there are even monuments in his "honour".

A country I'd like to visit

If I have to choose a country to visit, I would choose India, because I believe that that country has a culture full of wisdom and introspection, and that is a subject very interesting to me.
My knowledge about India is very limited, but I know a few things. For example, I know that is a very poor country in which lives a lot of people, being the second country with more population in the entire world. Also the society of India is very sexist and is still working with a system of castes.

If I can achieve my dream to travel to India, I would to go to the temples and speak with the wisest people there. Then I would like to meditate and learn about self-knowing. Also, I would like to visit their old buildings and value the ancient architecture. I'd like to live there a couple of years to study their culture, but I wouldn't live there many time because there are a lot of things that I don't tolerate, like the sexism and the classism, not even mentioning the population troubles.
