I left Buenos Aires 1st August but only today I felt I was ready to post about my despedida,

My last weeks in Buenos Aires, were quite busy. I moved to my parents house, I went to Misiones, I was finishing my work and I finished an online community for IAE, that was launched today. All of this, in addition to the last-minute things that came up with the trip and some personal wonderful events.

I remember started saying good-bye to people 3 or 4 weeks before I left Buenos Aires because they were traveling before me: Carmen (cousin), Katie (Friend and Partner), Francisco (Co worker)…

During my last weeks in Buenos Aires, I had dinners with my closest friends. Some of them gave me very small and original presents. Two compasses, one hand-made, to remember how to return to Buenos Aires, a little torch to enlighten decisions, a little matraca to have fun, a travel chess, un rosario, some media hora candies, some photos, couple books and some letters. Thanks for all the creativity used to made the presents!

Friday 31st July was my farewell party, most of the people who I quiero was there, and it was a beautiful night with pizza, drinks and very nice conversations. On Saturday morning I had breakfast with a friend and her husband, then I went to say good-bye to my grandparents. My brothers, my sister and Nadia (friend from Bariloche) came to see me and my parents off at the airport.

Couple weeks later I said good-bye to my parents and I still remember the last words of my mother: “Bendiciones y si queres volver antes, te esperamos”

After that I met Juan Cruz Petracchi in Sydney, he was a very good friend from Buenos Aires and I believe he is much better friend now. After 9 weeks, sharing most of time together, having fun, meeting new people, laughing until cry several times and learning a lot I´m saying good-bye to him. He is probably the last person who I know that I´m going to see until I return. Tomorrow he is going to the south Island and I´m going to stay in Auckland.

JX, be sure that one sonrisa is not going to cause the same than two, but we will continue causing sensation while we are traveling. Just remember that we are ambassadors of Argentina.

For my parents, brothers, loli, friends, grandparents, Tina, JuanX, Benja, Agu, Road and for all the people who is part of my life thanks for let me fly, be sure that I´m going to return stronger and with a bigger smile to share with all of you.

Caminos son…. los que caminamos,
