Our F8 trip is already in its 19th  Week and the countdown Will start soon. My family and I are spending 4 Nights in San Carlos de Bariloche and the hotel is Costa del  Nahuel , everything in Argentina has been handcrafted by my network travel partners – Designer Trips ,  Matias and Lucas , and everything has been perfect – length in each place and lodging accordingly to our budget.  We are experience it to plan it in the future for you . 🙂 exciting !

We entered Argentina by bus and I feel good and confident that the time they took in the border, frontier, with bus and luggage manually checked, probably avoid further problems . We saw several police bording the bus.  We, later, exited the bus for X-raying all the luggage.  After which, we were on our way again.  The advatanges of riding by bus are the amazing views , the forced time to sleep and read, and the affordability when you are a party of 4.  After many buses with different carriers,  I must say that our Favorite attendant, Patricia  (Cata International) was outstanding and attentive.  A bonus was that the meals on this route, Mendoza -Barcelona, where awesome – all full meals, breakfast and snack.  The excitement to  see the  Andes mountain range and spot the white tips in the summer “mode” was like a JACKPOT.  The  word, “el niño”, is always discussed to explained  the drastic weather changes including: dry rivers , unusually hot or cold, as well as other phenomena. In any case, we are fascinated with the Patagonia landscapes , the pristine lakes , the easy going and safe streets , the amazing  blend of cultures in the hotels architecture with structures resembling Switzerland  The healthy air and very low humidity breathed in is incredible.

We are getting used to sweets and other non-traditional items for breakfast instead of the eggs , ham or sausages.  A good “asado” or Italian pasta for lunch is the norm with whatever is leftover for dinner.  Argentina was at the top of the list for my husband  and so far the first 5 days in this land did not disappoint a bit!

Stay tune for next week where we will go to Perito Moreno Glacier and first hand feel the glaciers .

Please write me if you have any questions at ANYTIME !

Is this bringing me closer to my goals?

It is said, when you are in business that you have to write your goals, to have clarity, and that every action you make you should be asking yourself; Is this bringing me closer to my goals?

Have you applied that?

I personally like to have a business coach, not only I let it all out with a professional ; my business challenges, frustrations and goals, but also allows that this professional with a special interest that I “ feel ” the value of their advice, keep me in track towards my goals and also more than often , If you are like me going a million miles per hour and in all directions, they are the ones who helped me to stop , realize and enjoy my successes.

But things are a little different this year for me, (more than a little they are 180 degrees different) My F8 Travel year , is a year of experiences, building relationships with hotels , tour companies and organizations, is also a year of bonding, a year of gratitude , a year of memories, a year of learning, a year of togetherness, and with it there are goals to accomplished, As always it must be the financial goals, where I must make sales as I travel, I need to pay office rent, the management of it, Health, Life and Travel Insurance among others, Technology is being my savior and my nightmare at the same time. But together we must accomplish those much needed sales.

The new goals I have in addition are the core of what is F8 travel, in every experience we lived in this year in every city we visit, every family and friend we met, every restaurant, i ask myself: ” Is this bringing me closer or let me experience any of the F8 elements? Is this for Family? or Faith? or Friends? or Funding/Volunteering? or Fitness/Health? or Fun? or Food? or Fulfillment?

If what I am doing involves one or more of those elements, I feel like I am getting closer to my goals for this year.

You don’t have to be traveling to add F8 in your life, I believe it will help everyone to grow spiritually, I am overwhelmed with gratitude because these last 15 weeks, since We started this Life purpose Journey, October 09th 2015, I made possible to personally hold hands, look in the eyes of those who mean a lot to me, i had the blessing to tell them, “ I love you” “ I appreciate you “ “You made me feel especial” , and “ I am here for you”!!, and you might be my next visit 🙂

Thanks for your time,

Tio Victor & Mila Ulloa without their courage to Leave Peru in the 60’s for a better future for them and their son, I would never be an American Citizen today! Bravery runs in the family!
