Solo travel

I went alone to Colombia (Bogota, Medellin), Ecuador (Quito, Banos, Cuenca), Peru (Trujillo, Lima, Cusco, Puno, Arequipa), Chile (Iquique, Santiago, Punto Arenas), and Argentina (Ushuaia, Buenos Aires, Cordoba, Mendoza). I booked several flights, but I primarily traveled from place to place by bus. South American long-haul buses are generally very affordable and surprisingly comfortable. In terms of safety, not only did I never have a terrifying experience, but I also had a few amazing experiences when complete strangers, with whom I barely shared a language, were incredibly kind.

About me

Hola, me llamo Clara, tengo 30 años, soy abogada y me gusta viajar y conocer lugares y personas increíbles. Cada vez que puedo aprovecho para irme de viaje, retiro o descanso en mi país o fuera de él, a veces con el trabajo no es muy fácil, pero desde pandemia trabajo remoto y ha sido para mi la mejor oportunidad para viajar. Soy muy organizada, amigable y me gusta reír mucho. Amo bailar, qué mas puedo decir, lo llevo en la sangre, me encanta escuchar música pero sobre todo bailarla, así que si te interesan algunos pasos de baile, te puedo enseñar. Me encanta la naturaleza, estar al aire libre, respirar, admirar, caminar, correr, nadar, sentir como la naturaleza me abraza. También me gusta ver películas, hacer yoga y actividades manuales como artesanía. -- Hi, My name is Clara, I´m 30 years old, I am a lawyer and I like to travel and enjoy incredible places and meet beautiful people. Every time I can I take the opportunity to go on a trip, retreat or rest in my country or abroad, sometimes with work it is not very easy, but since the pandemic I have been working remotely and it has been the best opportunity for me to travel. I´m very organized, friendly and I like to laugh a lot. I love dancing, what else can I say, it's in my blood, I love listening to music, but above all dancing so, if you are interested in some dance steps, I can teach you. I love nature, being outdoors, breathing, admiring, walking, running, swimming, feeling how nature embraces me. I also like watching movies, doing yoga and manual activities like handicraft.
