holiday in Rapa Nui

Last february was the first time I traveled alone and it was to Rapa Nui island, the least chilean place in all chile. I was prety exited to say the least but not just because of the destination, I had to work all year to get the money for the travel so I was fullfilled even before i arrived.

I stayed for about a month, so I got to do alot of stuff but for the most part I did what I like the most, go off the road and got lost in the unkown. Rapa Nui was perfect for that, the place is mostly grass fields that go up and down the hills and volcanoes which makes it very fun if you have a mountain bike (I rented one as soon as I landed).

So Im not the most talkative person, but the people around there were very friendly though direct so we got along pretty well. There were a lots of tourist as well so every now and then I traveled around with someone from the place i was staying. I made friends with the host of the housing center, we went fishing almost every day in the morning and traveled to some secret spot that only locals know (wich was the best thing ever by the way).

Aside from that I got a lot of time for myself to think a lot and to know me better, that made this travel really special and I think it marked a new chapter in my path to adulthood.

when I got back home I felt great, not just because I had traveled to paradise (though it is one of the reasons of course), but because i felt that i had acomplished something. That's why this is my favorite holiday trip and i think it we'll be for a long time.
