First, sorry for my english, Is still being horrible!!!

Second, today it´s been a year after I left Chile and I flew, a little bit scared, to an strange country for me. Nepal, and then Tibet and India, gave me houndreds of the best moments in my life. I´m nostalgic today, and I want to write about you, special people.

This is the moment to say thanks, thanks, thanks. I want to see you again. See you all.

First, and this is in spanish, gracias a todos quienes estuvieron conmigo antes de viajar, tanto económica como moralmente. Por el apoyo de mi familia, la comunidad CPV, mis amigos y todos quienes me conocen (y algunos que sin conocerme creyeron en mí). ¡Gracias por permitir que cumpliera mi sueño!.
