why I travel throughout South America? Today I realized that 8 year ago I asked for my first passport and it remains me why I did it. I was in Bogota, studying engeneering at University. I was in four year of the degree and I met a guy whom will become one of my best friends. At that time we started to talk about life, about goals, hobbies and likes, and then I noticed that we both had things in common, the disere to travel and visit new places. I had met him before as at the university, but since that day, we started to talk more and to share ideas of how we were going to do to make of dreams come true. And that is all, one year after I was requesting with him our passports to start a trip throughout South America by bus. Amazing! The plan was travel to Peru, Bolivia a little part of Brazil and the north of Argetine, to finish in Buenos Aires while in our way we would have the chance to visit some of the most representative and outstanding natural places. We made a journey plan searching on internet about the best way to get to those places, the cost and all the helpful tips that make our trip more pleasant. We picked the places that must be visited, and the list finished with 5 places: Machu Pichu (Peru), Desert of Uyuni (Bolivia), Titicaka Lake (Bolivia) , Iguazu waterfalls (Brazil) and Buenos Aires (Argentine). The last one, although it was not a natural place it was considered for us as one of the places worth-see. Finally, that trip changed our life and after that it comes more places, more experiences and the most important thing, more people that stick on our hearths.

Remote Working Three weeks ago I changed my contract in the company to get the opportunity to work remotely. The company created this option to let their employees to work at their home two or three days a week and to adopt a campain that has been promoted by the goverment that stimulates this kind of work by decreasing the taxes it charge. This option has possitive implications in both part, the company and the employees. The company not only is saving resources for each person that does not go to the office, like public services and use of internet, that represent a decrease in the cost of bills, but is saving with the benefit of taxes given by the govement. Also, for employees the benefits are represented mainly in time. People now are saving the time they used to take to get to the office and back to home that in some cases would be and hour or more and this change improve the life quality. However, some companies are agains of this type of work and they consider that employees at home could be more distracted and less efficient than at office. In some cases they considere that it is necessary to have a person how lead the group and see what the employees are doing. In my point of view, remote working depends of the type of business of the company and the type of activities of the person. In some cases, such as an IT company, could be easier to let their people to work at home using differet tools to comunicate like skype, gotomeeting and even whatsapp, but for other positions in where people have to deal with the customer face-to-face it could be imposible to send people to home.
