The last year in Argentina was spectacular. I returned after more than 20 years and found something I didn't expect: a real sense of home. During seven months I traveled the country, lived in Buenos Aires, the north, the south, and I confirmed something I had been feeling for a while.
But this end of the year needed something different. Not because I wanted to leave, but because I had closed a chapter. And when that happens, the need to move naturally appears. That's why I chose Paris. Not so much for the destination itself, but for what it represented: changing context and seeing what came next.
From Argentina to Europe, without a set plan
Leaving Argentina after those seven months wasn't as simple as other times. This time there was something different. I had felt at home again, connected with people, with the rhythm, with a way of living I hadn't had for years.
And yet, I was getting on a plane again.
That's where one of the hardest questions to answer appears: where do I really want to live? The answer today isn't clear. And for the first time, that's not a problem.
The idea of living between Argentina and Europe starts to make sense. Not as a definitive decision, but as a way of life. Moving between both, taking advantage of the best of each place and not forcing myself to choose just one.
Paris at New Year's, beyond the destination
Paris at this time of year has something special. The lights, the decorations, the movement in the streets, the full cafes, the feeling of being in a place that transforms completely at Christmas.
I had been there other times, but never like this.
This time it wasn't just tourism. It was more like a pause in the middle of a process. Walking through the city, going up the Eiffel Tower, seeing how the entire city lights up from above... these are experiences that feel different when you're in a moment of change.
There's even something symbolic about places like the Eiffel Tower. A structure that was questioned in its time, that took years to build and is now one of the most recognized icons in the world. It's inevitable to draw that parallel with personal processes: not everything that takes time or generates doubts is wrong, many times it's part of the journey.
The real journey: between work, surprises and movement
The journey didn't start in Paris, it started much earlier. It was more than 20 hours from Buenos Aires, with a layover, tiredness and even a lost suitcase along the way.
That kind of thing, which at another time would be a big problem, today is part of the process. Traveling like this means accepting constant uncertainty.
At the same time, the journey isn't just traveling. It's working, maintaining projects, organizing time. From Monday to Friday I keep working, because if I don't work, I can't sustain this lifestyle.
That mix between movement and intensity is what defines this stage.
Reuniting with the Tesla and what comes next
One of the key moments of this trip is the reunion with the Tesla. Beyond the car itself, it represents something bigger: the idea of movement, of freedom and of everything that can come after.
The possibility of taking it to Argentina, driving Route 40, or even using it as a base for a much bigger journey.
There's no decision made yet. But one thing is clear: the Tesla isn't just a means of transportation, it's part of the project.
EchoRoute: living without having all the answers
This trip marks quite well the point where I am today. There's no completely defined plan, no closed structure, but there is a direction.
EchoRoute was born precisely from there. From the idea of moving, exploring, not staying in one place and building the path as it happens.
Maybe the next step will be traveling the world. Maybe returning to Argentina and staying. Or maybe something completely different.
But there's one thing that's certain: the person making these decisions today is not the same as before.
And that changes everything.
