    Hello Chaitén

    February 28, 2020 in Chile ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    This morning we hitchhiked to Chaitén. We were quite unlucky at first until two men that work for a salmon company picked us. In Chaitén there is the volcano Chaitén, that erupted in 2008, so all the houses are pretty new in the little town.
    The next morning we planned on hiking to this volcano. We still needed to hitchhike for half an hour and got lucky, because tommy was there and said he would drive us. He immediately started speaking german with us, as he lived there for 4 years with his girlfriend Lotta. Before he drove us to the volcano he showed us a place where we could see dolphins and then we went to a beautiful beach called Santa Barbara where he currently is building a new house. He asked us if we wanted to work for him, as they have a small tourism business and also a food truck Café. Mona and I didn’t think that long about it and just said yes. So he gave us Lotta’s number and said we should just show up when we finished our hike.✌🏼😂

    The hike itself was super cool but also very steep. It was cloudy firstly but then the clouds disappeared and we had a perfect view! You were even able to look over the sea to Chiloe, incredible!

    After our hike we showed up in the food truck, such a cool place! Really looking forward to start working there for one week. Tomorrow is gonna be our first day.
