I had my last working day with Roche on September 17. On September 27 I handed over my apartment.
I am glad that all went so well and on this ocasion I would also like to thank those who helped me! Now I am living with my
mother in Reinach (a town close to Basel) until the 21st October. On that day I will first travel to Geneva Airport by train
and then fly to Madrid where I will visit a friend. On October 26 I will travel by bus or train from Madrid to Barcelona and,
hopefully, on October 28 will embark on the "Calaparati" which should take me across the Atlantic Ocean to Buenos Aires. The
journey will take about 2 1/2 weeks. During this time I will not be able to check my mail. So I should be contactable until
October 19 and then again from mid November.
A very long dreamt dream is finally coming true. For the second time in my life my feet will touch
Argentinan soil and for the first time the tar of Buenos Aires. From there on the future is totally unplanned. At the
moment I have the idea to travel my way down south towards Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego and then possibly back up north
on the Chilen side. But this is just an option and there is no concrete route. The intention of this trip is not to see as
much as possible or to be away as long as possible but to experience as much freedom and independence possible. It is about
giving up and leaving everything open. The idea is not to never come back to Switzerland and it is not that I intend to stay
in South America for the rest of my life. The idea really is to give up everything here in Switzerland and to leave without
exactly knowing what the future will hold for me but just take it day by day. It is possible that I might be back again already
in a few months, it is also possible that it might take a lot longer. All this depends on so many circumstances. It has always
been a dream to do this. I might not have realized it all the time but now, looking back, I can see that for me this is not
really a surprise but it seems to be only logical.
