So of we go to Punta Arenas where another Couchsurfing experience awaits us. Exhausted from the couple of days in Torres del Paine we couldn't wait but be comfy in a warm bed and sleep (which we did for 12 hours that night!! 😍). We didn't know what to expect but had a great surprise with this couchsurfer! We were welcomed by Rodrigo and Cocha (a friend) as is we were part of the family. Barely settled in the house they offer us a Picada de Cerdo (pieces of marinated pork meat) and red wine. We couldn't say no and thankfully we didn't as the meat was delicious and so was the wine! Throughout our stay here we were nicely surprised by the kindness of the people and their chilled say of life. Rodrigo calls his neighbour by knocking on the wall, he answers by knocking on the well, Rodrigo calls 'pasa!'and here he comes! His neighbour nicely drove us to town a few times and even dropped us at the bus station when we left!
We shared a fun moment with the three of them on our arrival night, such a moment of our time for us, relaxing and entertaining: here we are sitting with three physically different people (who look way way younger than they are) living similar but such different lives as well. One is the boss of his own truck company, the other one the national director of the taikwendo team and the last one the regional director of an airline company. It makes you look back on our lifestyles back in Europe where we always want more and aspire to be the best in most things and makes you realise that no matter where you come from you can make it happen in life and life a happy and especially simple life should it be here or back home.
