About this picture
It was March, 2014, and I was heading south with my bicycle. My first long distance travel, I had started in Santiago de Chile after quitting my job and selling everything I owned, 3 months later I was at this spot, heading south, with no clear destination but by that time I was feeling I had to reach Punta Arenas in Chile and then see what was next. In the meantime I had plenty of time to capture the moments I was living and creating some good work in photography. This photo briefs what I still do today, after 4 years, I am still on my bicycle but this time, in northern Chile.
