Pale Blue Dot
On my first travels I would prepare a detailed itinerary and do everything I planned, regardless of what. However, as I began returning to certain cities, museums, and locations that I had enjoyed, I noticed a greater sense of calmness and mindfulness. These second experiences were often much more pleasant. That is why I now deliberately seek randomness and rarely plan ahead.
Furthermore, I always loved to get as close as possible to the more authentic way of living and doing things in a city or country. Everyday life and habits of the locals are what I want to experience and learn more about.

🏝️ Islands
It didn’t take me long to realize how fragile and unprotected they are. For example, Rapa Nui is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, five and a half hours by plane from Santiago. People living there have no other choice but to be as independent as they can be. Everything, from drinking water to recycling trash, has to be optimized for the circumstances they find themselves in.
And if we stop to think about it, Earth should be treated the same way. Ultimately, it is just a larger-scale representation of an island.
