Week 2
The one thing you learn while traveling in Chile is if it isn’t 8 hours away it’s a short drive. We have about an eleven hour travel to our next destination Futaleufu. Futa is a little town in the heart of the Andes. This town is home to Rio Futaleufu, the second biggest commercially run river in the world. We stayed with a fishing guild by the name of Lu. He has created a very successful business by bringing gringos into one of the best fisheries in the world. We spent another 10 days in Futa. With Lu we went fishing with him and saw and made suggestions on how he could possible make changes and improvements to his successful business. During this time I started working on my LINK project. From the clients on the sea kayaking trip, they wanted to do a HAP training in North Carolina. My job was to create a brochure that explains what HAP does and what the results are to the participants. For the first part I did as much research as I could. The wifi is always an iffy thing, and research was a slow painful endeavor. I was given a really cool opportunity and was able to travel to Argentina. . I was there over night and helped out in a friends bakery. Argentina is renowned for their beef and to give some context it would a vegetarian's mouth water. It was really cool to learn a little bit of Argentina Spanish. They say things a lot different than Chile. With their new president then black market has disappeared fairly quickly and sadly I didn't sell my phone for 2000$ us. Going between the two countries is very simple as long as you don’t have any food. In Chile hitch hiking and expecting the unexpected are two necessary things that will make your travels cheaper and more interesting. In Futa the food truck comes only once a week and no one ever knows when it’s coming. So even getting is an adventure, then on top of all that you don’t even know if you can get a ride in and out of town. When our small group wasn’t going on some crazy adventure, we discussed emotional intelligence. These chats were about different skills, ideas, and trainings. These were always engaging and I was able to add my input on my views of emotional intel. As our time near closer in Futa, we went on a river run. The Futa is an epicly big river, with incredible white water. We went with Mitch and incredible guild and a good friend. This was my first time kayaking since my shoulder injury. Jump into the deep and hope to swim so to speak. The next day it was another 16 hour travel to our next stop.
