Moika's Trip
Hi everyone. I just wanted to let you know about something I've been preparing for the last few months, and that now it's finally happening.
I'll be traveling across South and Central America for the next few months (or years! who knows). With the company of my wife, my two kids and our car.
The fire for this whole idea ignited a couple months ago. When I traveled to Cusco, Perú. That's when I decided it was time to chase this dream. I also made the illustration from this post while I stayed there.

This trip is also very important to me for personal reasons. Ever since I became a father ( I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old), I have fell like time is running away from me, and that my workaholic lifestyle is taking me away from spending quality time with mi family. So this is an opportunity to reconnect, and to experience something together, along my wife as well, that we will never forget.

What does this mean to this project and my art? I don't know yet. I love my job so nothing will change there. But things may slow down for a while, until find a proper rhythm through this trip, where my plan is to continue working but also experiencing this journey with my family.
We are now 700 miles away from Lima, Perú, where our journey began a week ago. Arequipa will be our home for a week before we embark to Chile (my home country). During this time here I will get some art and work done, that I hope I can show you very soon!
Wish us luck!
And happy 2023!

Oh well, it looks like you are in for an exciting trip with your family! Enjoy it to the fullest! I am sure it will be a fantastic experience and an exciting period for you. Happy New Year!
I rather enjoyed the food in Chile and Peru, the latter especially. Just wasn’t a fan of one of my friends getting robbed at gunpoint. Lol. Be safe out there and I hope it is as good a trip as you all imagine.

I would like it if you could try to do the background as if you painted it over this picture to make her fit better but this still looks very good. I understand if your activity slows down it's okay, life happens, and family is more important.
Hope you have a wonderful trip stay safe
