This was a fun read for me Egor. I traveled through Chile solo in 1978, fairly close in time to the Allende Pinochet coup. Although many people were still wary of politics and knew the U.S. was the force behind the coup, I was treated with kindness above and beyond the norm. One special encounter in Santiago opened a line of Chileans waiting to greet me as I traveled along the coast. They were connected friends who opened their doors to a stranger nomad. They told me about treasure spots I shouldn't miss and shared their impactful personal stories. I loved Chile and the Chileans. Your article took me back to a special time in my life. Great photos! 🇨🇱💖
I am happy the article recalled good times from your Latin American travels. I am sure much changed after the coup and return of democracy here except, I suspect, the kindness of Chileans. They have been open with us and willing to share their knowledge of places. And also… political opinions :-). Turns out we agree on a lot.
