My favorite vacation was last summer. Specifically in February 2022. My trip started in Puerto Montt and went as far as Chaitén, I took the Chiloé route in which I traveled from Ancud to Quellón where I took a boat to Chaitén. In total the trip lasted 25 days. I had previously traveled with friends and my partner to other places, but this trip was special because I went alone. The trip basically consisted of getting to know national parks, cities and above all people who were also traveling. The grace of backpacking is not to plan the trip, but to live the day and allow yourself to get to where you have to get without having to plan it before, it is as if there is a certain mysticism, as the cliché says "you are where you have to be". In this sense I could say that it has been my favorite trip so far because it was totally an experience of self-knowledge, of solitude, but also of being with others, be it people or nature. I learned that it is important to be connected with ourselves to enjoy life and its simple things, finally it is those little things that we pass unnoticed in our daily lives that give us some kind of happiness.
