Yastaah

I saw the magic eclipse of the moon during a 2days camping near some natural hot springs; kind of a river going down from a mountain. We all were scattered around the fire, looking up at the disappearing full moon. Looking at the many shooting stars, I closed my eyes few times, making my wish. There were so many falling stars that I asked myself how many wish I could possibly have in my life. And what kind of wishes had the guys next to me. Definitely some of the wishes I had in my life were absolutely meaningless but some others have been constant in my life. Travelling in South America, all alone, knowing people and culture, has been a dream since I was a teenager. I still remember my self going around Chile, Peru and Argentina. But that was just a dream. Now it is real. And I can only wish myself that I keep on being happy. So I started asking around "are you happy today?". And you? Are you happy today?

I don't speak a lot about my father but I feel now it is a good time to do it. I remember I was a child and we were coming back home from our farm. There was a crossroads and he asked me where we should go, left or right. And I said immediately right, firstly because I wanted to show I knew the road and secondly because I wanted to go playing football with my fiends. But my father told me "that is the direction. You always go to that direction", showing me the opposite direction. He starred on his left for few long seconds, watching nothing probably, and then he turned right. Then he added "because you don't know what it is expecting you if you go in that direction". We didn't speak until home. He left me confused.  Today it is a year I'm travelling. That was me outside the airport in Napoli, believing I was going away for 6 or 7  months. It is my travel-birthday. And what I liked the most about my travel is that I don't know wha...

Well, it looks like the blog is going good, so thank you so much for your interest. It's time to give you some info about it. Yastaah is what I understood the very first time I heard a Spanish speaker saying "ya está". I liked the sound and caught the meaning but didn't know how to write 😔😔 I'm actually learning Spanish while travelling so this happens all the time 😰😰 The idea of the blog came up as soon as I started travelling. Actually a bit before, and it's the reason why I have a diary of my South American trip from the day one. Hopefully Yastaah is giving you some ideas for your next holidays/trips, or 5 minutes of break from work. I'm not writing down any specific practical advice but feel free to ask. Below the very first picture of my trip, the last espresso italiano 😍😍, the first evidence of me in South America (well the flight was a long one 😝😝).
