For me, holidays are not necessarily when you travel off to some exotic place but can be just a time relaxing or doing things in your home. The important thing is that you are free from the stress and obligation of work.

I always have lots of thing to do so I'm quite happy to spend the summer holidays in Santiago, away from the crowds and crazy prices.

However, two summers ago I had an incredibly break in the mountains near San Carlos. I went with a very good friend of mine, Armando as well as his wife and an American friend, Greg.
   We were looking for a new place to go climbing in a little explored area of Chile, so we took all of our climbing equipment down to San Carlos and then up to San Fabian de Alico and finally through the native forests to a secret place we had found one month before.
   We set up base camp in the forest next to a beautiful stream and then, for the next 5 days, tried to climb a big wall (250m) next to the camp. It was very tiring but it was such a beautiful place that everyone was happy. We saw lots of plants and animals, at one point the condors were flying just 5 metres away.
  Well. It was an incredible experience and finally we managed to get to the top of the wall.

There are so many countries I would like to visit. Finland is fascinating, Canada has wonderful people, India has delicious food, Uruguay interests me sociologically and politically. Today however I would like to talk about The United States of America.
It's probably the most famous country in the history of the world and everybody has an opinion about it, perhaps since the second world war it has received a lot of bad press, a lot of it probably justifiably, however it is also the land of film makers such as Wes Anderson and The Coen brothers, actors such as Clint Eastwood and Bill Murray, musicians such as The Ramones, Blondie, Nina Simone and Iggy Pop, writers such as Joseph Heller and John Steinbeck and Bukowski and great thinkers such as Noel Chomsky and W. D. Snodgrass. All of these have played an important part in my life and I believe the world would be a poorer place without them.
I would like to hire a car and drive around the states, a typical dream but really it's a country made for driving. Also, each state seems to me to be so unique, and have its own amazing history, that I would like to see them all.

I would drive around, talk to the people, eat and eat the food (and probably put on at least 10 kilos) and film everything for a documentary.
I'm not really interested in studying there formally. Just talking to the people and seeing their lives would be an education in itself.
