Description
(Inglés abajo)
¡Hola! Somos Agustina y Franco y estamos dando los primeros pasos en esta aventura que hemos llamado "un largo viaje". Somos de Argentina y en nuestros 30 años decidimos animarnos a salir al mundo para cumplir unos sueños que teníamos guardados bien adentro.
Luego de algunos viajes -Colombia, Cuba, Egipto y algunos países de Europa- nos dimos cuenta de que los pocos días de vacaciones en el trabajo no eran suficientes y nos entusiasmaba la idea de viajar a paso lento, sin prisas ni límites de tiempo, "sueltos" -como decimos aquí-.
Hace 2 años que estamos en viaje, y hemos tenido experiencias muy enriquecedoras en los voluntariados que hicimos! Conocimos gente increíble, que nos ha hospedado y recibido con mucha amabilidad y generosidad, "nuestras segundas familias" les decimos. También aprendimos a hacer muchas cosas que nunca creímos que íbamos o podíamos hacer, nos retamos a nosotros mismos y crecimos como personas y profesionales.
Nos interesa salir de las rutas turísticas tradicionales y recorridos preestablecidos, visitar lugares poco conocidos, descubrir cada ciudad, cada pueblo, conocer su historia y cultura, recorrer sus calles y arquitectura, charlar con su gente y aprender nuevos idiomas, intentando ser, al menos por un momento, dos locales más.
Queremos seguir viaje por Europa Centro-Este, seguir explorando sus asombrosos paisajes, sus ciudades de arquitectura y arte únicos, con toda su carga histórica. Seguir aprendiendo de su historia, su cultura, conociendo su gente, sus idiomas y sus alfabetos - tan distintos a los nuestro.
Queremos seguir probándonos a nosotros mismos que podemos aprender mucho mas!
Queremos seguir disfrutando de este viaje que nos hace tan felices!

Hello! We are Agustina and Franco and we are taking the first steps in this adventure that we have called "a long journey". We are from Argentina and in our 30 years we decided to encourage ourselves to go out into the world to fulfill some dreams that we had kept deep inside.
After some trips -Colombia, Cuba, Egypt and some European countries- we realized that the few days of vacation from work were not enough and we were excited by the idea of traveling at a slow pace, without haste or time limits, "loose" -as we say here-.
We have been traveling for two years, and we have had very enriching experiences in the volunteer work we did! We met incredible people, who have hosted and received us with great kindness and generosity, "our second families" we tell them. We also learned to do many things that we never thought we could or could do, we challenged ourselves and grew as people and professionals.
We are interested in leaving the traditional tourist routes and pre-established routes, visiting little-known places, discovering each city, each town, knowing its history and culture, walking its streets and architecture, chatting with its people and learning new languages, trying to be, at least for a moment, two more venues.
We want to continue our journey through Central-Eastern Europe, continue exploring its amazing landscapes, its cities of unique architecture and art, with all its historical load. Keep learning about its history, its culture, knowing its people, its languages and its alphabets - so different from ours.
We want to keep proving to ourselves that we can learn much more!
We want to continue enjoying this trip that makes us so happy!
