Punta Arenas - a city I fell in love with!

August 5th 2023
Has it ever happened to you that sometime you visit a small town and you fall in love with the place? You start thinking - “I wish I could live here”. I don’t know about others, but this has happened to me a number of times. Once I was visiting Sapa in extreme North Vietnam and I loved the place. I started looking into rental property in Sapa.

My father grew up amid the green hills of Assam in India. When I was a little boy, I went with him to see the vastness of nature, holding his hand. He is the one who instilled the love for nature in me; everything I love in nature today, I owe to him. I have lived in Canada for many years now, but my love for nature and the outdoors is everlasting. Travelling and photography are my passions. Although I visit tourist areas, I rarely spend time there unless there are historic interests. I often travel off the beaten paths of jungles, mountains and rural areas.

Thank you MJ! You know, although I grew up in populous cities in India and abroad, I am a small town loving person...I enjoy the slow pace of life. Punta is not a huge city, but it is lively. We went to a pub where one wall is reserved for tourists to leave their comments using chalks. Loved the concept! I wrote down there my website address. You been to Ushuaia in Argentina when you went for Antarctica cruise. It is not too far from Punta Arenas. Sure, you can check it out when you are in that part of the world. And who knows, if I am staying there as a seasonal bird, we will sure go out for drinks!
