Long-term planning ain’t my thing. I usually try to focus on the daily basis planning, but if you ask me about what I want to do for this summer holidays, I would take a while to think about it and probably answer something random like going to the beach or travelling outside the country. And even though those ideas aren’t that bad, in fact, they are actually nice plans for holidays, it’s difficult for me to start the procedure required to accomplish them.

 

 I am more of a reactive person, last year some friends told me from one week to another: “hey, let’s go to Valdivia” and I went, the experience itself was quite delightful. So from the previous sentence I assume two things in order to enclosure my parameters in reference to where would I go. First, I have to trust in the people that I go with, or at least one of them has to be one of my one-handed-counted friends. Second, the place doesn’t matter, I would enjoy anything that involves the ones I care about wherever is the place.

 In conclusion, I don’t know (yet) and don’t care about where is the geological place, or whether or not it has a cultural richness or beautiful landscapes, as long the people I’m with are people that I care about and they care about me, for I think that the beauty of a trip does not principally reside in the external conditions and features, but into the development of memories, relationships and how they become a part of ourselves in an introspective way that ends up expressing itself in how we develop our experiences and relationships. Of course the place indeed matters, it’s an important part of the trip, but I would not reject a trip for where it wishes to take place, but for the people that are involved in it.
