A country I would like to visit!

It's hard for me to choose a single country as the one I want to visit the most. If I try to avoid the constant (sometimes compulsive) focus on topics related to my career and I focus for a while attempting to find a wish or dream deeply sunk on my memory, preferably full of weird mixes of feelings with tones of nostalgia and idealism, there is one specific thought that comes to my mind. It is not really remembrance but a reminder: To travel around the globe to meet the routes and places where Darwin made the studies that created and shaped most of his evolution theory.

Summer plans

Hello reader-fellas Embrace yourselves, Summer is just around the corner and holidays are coming with it.  Yes, I know, that is not a mystery for anyone because there is at least one summer every year everywhere... but there are not  necessarily holidays in every summer, not at least in my case. Not during the last summer. Each summer, since I was a kid, I travelled to different places, mostly to camp and practice hiking inside national parks and natural reserves at the south of Chile, Argentina and even Uruguay. It became the main way I had to renew myself psychologically, physically and spiritually speaking! Then, in the summer of early 2017, after more than a decade of camping every year, I had to broke my sacred tradition because of a feet surgery that kept me "out of action" for months.  Since then I have been feeling and increasingly urgent need of escaping from civilization and crowds. That's why, no matter what happens this summer, I will work as much as I ...
