Patagonia| Is Interplanetary Travel Possible? Absolutely.

At the southernmost edge of the world lies Patagonia — a wild expanse shared between Chile and Argentina, yet feeling as though it belongs to no nation, no time, no map. Here, nature seems to operate under its own laws, as if it were the fifth element of the planet — untouchable, unrepeatable, unforgettable.

For us — Sarmin & Bahar, a couple who has landed in 126 countries across all 7 continents — the name “Patagonia” had always been a whisper from another realm. I first heard it as a child, never imagining I’d stand here one day, wind-battered and awe-struck, staring at landscapes that defy reason.

This is a place that cannot truly be described; it must be entered. Cold and wind are constant companions, and human life is scarce. You feel as if you’ve stepped off the map, into another planet. Here, you can’t leave your footprints behind — the winds and time erase them before they settle. Patagonia remains untouched for travelers yet to come, always waiting to be rediscovered.




Our Journey

We began in Santiago, then flew to Puerto Montt for two days of exploring lush, fjord-filled landscapes. From there, we boarded another flight south to Punta Arenas, rented a car, and embarked on an unforgettable road trip through Puerto Natales and into the beating heart of Torres del Paine National Park.

Seven days in southern Chile, and not a single moment that felt ordinary.

What Patagonia Does to You

They say you can’t leave your footprint here. But I left something deeper — a part of myself I never want back. An invisible version of me still wanders here, calling out: Come back.

In Patagonia, my body, my mind, my past, my memories — none of it makes sense anymore. It’s a place where I was never born and yet never truly left.

Here, you feel your now more than anywhere else. You’re more experienced than ever before, and yet the youngest you will ever be again. So you must get a little wild — take the road less traveled, do what you were told not to, chase horizons you can’t name.

Why You Must Go

Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors.


In Patagonia, the landscapes are more than scenery — they are silent storytellers. Drive without a plan and let the road reveal secrets it hasn’t shared with anyone else.


Torres del Paine, in particular, feels like a cathedral built by wind and stone. It’s not just beautiful — it’s humbling.

Will my footprint ever get lost here?Maybe.But Patagonia will never lose me.


Route: Santiago → Puerto Montt → Punta Arenas → Puerto Natales → Torres del PaineTip: Just keep driving. Here, the journey itself is the destination.

Patagonia - Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors.
