This will be the part I will describe the people who left some sort of footprint in my mind during a the trip? some people won't have names as the name does not really add value to the story. in most cases at least.
Sebastian. The owner of Hospedaje Magallanes which was our home for 3 nights in Punta arenas.
The man originally is from Germany, but now living in Patagonia for many years, having a family - 2 sons and a wife, 2 dogs. I never asked him what was the reason to move to Chile unfortunately, but now the question remains with me. What made impression is his calm attitude, smiling eyes, and my wild guess - love for Patagonian nature.

Stephen. A senior trekking buddy to Mirrador las Torres in Torres del Paine. From UK.
This guy kinda took me under his care when me and Dace parted on the way to the viewpoint uphill. Our short kind of friendship started with a gesture from his side so that I did not slip on the icy rocks. and then we kind of took care of each other. In hardships you see who is a good person I guess. Thanks for letting me be your companion among all other people in your group.

Juan. Manager of el Chileno lodge in Torres del Paine.
This guy is a dark haired knight who saved me from freezing to death in the lodge. but that was just a tip of the iceberg. the few moments he sat with us chatting, making us laugh were so entertaining, informal, and felt really homey. Honestly the best stay during the trip.

Juan did show what a real Chileno means - showing up on time is not Chilean style. As agreed later with Kathi from Austria who had a few experiences of her own, not showing up if you have an arrangement is very normal. You don't even have to say you aren't showing up, because you always have a reason, either its a bad weather (for diving), or stopping by a friend for a drink. All the reasons apparently count, and no on-time explanations are provided.
The other guy in el Chileno.
When you travel around, people around you are changing all the time, it is difficult to maintain conversations that go beyond where are you from, where you've been, what's next. That's just natural warm up .. but in most cases it does not really go further than that. This is where I appreciate this guy. We had so much deeper conversation about the values, wishes that it made me appreciate the friends back at home with home these intro chats are long gone. Thanks for making the stay more meaningful.
