Hola Amiga(o)s,

Sorry for who expect a personal mail, sorry for who expect a long e-mail :-( I promise these will come soon. But for now I want to wish you all:

A GREAT CHRISTMAS AND LOTS OF LUCK AND FUN IN THE NEW YEAR!

I started this year with the end of a long trip, no money, no job and no good perspectives. But who could predict then how this year would end!?

I earned money to follow a course to become a Tour Leader.

I aplayed for several agencies in a time that normally no one hires new Tour Leaders. But I got very lucky! One sick person gave me the change I was hoping for. I took it turned out great. It seems that I found a job that fits me perfectly and it is also in countries which I like very much, Peru and Bolivia.

Working in South America also allows me to visit my friends in Ecuador and work on construction jobs in the jungle.

On top of all this, I also became, a few weeks ago, an Uncle from a Pretty Girl named Danara.

If it wasn´t for the fact that my friends now have a lot of problems with greedy people and legalising their land, I would have said that I couldn´t wish for a better end of this year. Let´s hope that this problem gets solved before the year really ends...

If this happens I will send you all a little story about the Amazonians and the (Dalton) Brothers.

For now I wish you all the same amount of luck as I got this year. I also want to say that this proves that, no matter how bad things look, hope is often closer than you think. So never give up your dreams!
