The day has come.
– after seeing my friends one last time before leaving,
– after spending almost a month at home reassuring my worried parents that I’m ready for this,
– after puzzle-ing my backpack so that it fits everything I need and still remains in the dimensions of a hand-luggage,
I’m ready to board the longest trip by plane I’ve ever had – almost 20 hours with one stop in Paris.
How it went?
10 minutes in the air and I realized that we were already above my hometown. It felt interesting thinking that, for a kid down below, I was one of the people aboard that fascinating dot that leaves white traces behind 🙂
20 minutes in the air and I find out that the passengers near me are a nice family and the husband did, decades ago, a bit of the same trip I’m doing now. For sure talking with them took my mind off the 12 hour long flight that was in front of me.
Fast forward a few hours later – the long flight wasn’t so bad 🙂 and I safely landed, at night, in Buenos Aires.
Buen dia en Buenos Aires
I chose to stay 2 days in Buenos Aires, in case I needed to get used to the new time-zone before I started heading down south.
But guess who was up and running early the next day 🙂? A curious guy, eager to discover a new city from a new country located on a different continent.
And the city didn’t disappoint. I had 2 days full of walking and it made me want to return for more :).
But for now I’ll head south, to Ushuaia 🙂. And I leave you with a song I discovered while being here, in Buenos Aires:
Nomadic Vlach 
Bravo tinere!( o fac si eu pe baba inteleapta). Iti doresc sa gasesti ce cauti si mai ales, iti doresc sa fii fericit!!! Nimic din ce e de calitate nu costa scump, asa ca…sigur o sa te descurci!!!

I love how your 10 minutes turned to 20 and then turned to days. Bite-size chunks of time like you are taking these small moments out of your backpack one bit at a time. Nice puzzle you seem to be putting together. I, for one, am hooked! Can’t wait to read until I see the big picture.

I hope that the road to usuahia will not be so long. The pampa will be your décor for a long time but the discovery if this place is beautiful. I will continue to follow you, i will be 30 years younger. Good luck and have à Nice trip.
