As an adventurous family of 4, we have lived in the Patagonia of Southern Chile for the past 8 years and have definitely had many adventures, especially those related to flying! In fact, we came to Chile in our aircraft all the way from Alaska!
We own and operate a small but growing aviation company, and at the heart of it is our 1969 Cessna 206 we call "Nomad".
Nomad operates mainly in summer from the isolated village of Villa O'Higgins, flying over the Southern and Northern Ice Fields of Chile making both scientific and scenic flights for clients ranging from NASA to National Geographic and everything in between.

My daughter is 18 now. When she was 16 she was preparing to head off on a 5,500 nautical mile voyage from Patagonia to Cuba with my brother aboard a classic yacht that my father built for the grand kids (she happens to be the oldest of the “grand-kids”).
I'm sure she'll fill you in about her amazing trip later.
Anyway, just before her voyage, she asked me if I thought she had what it takes to become a pilot? Since my reply was more than positive, she ventured to ask “If I become a pilot, can I fly for the company, and someday take it over?”
Suffice it to say, dad was impressed for a 16-year-old to be thinking so far ahead. Naturally, I said yes!
I'm very interested in watching her make this journey, and I'm sure you will be too!

Hi everyone! Yes, like my dad said, I really want to become a pilot!
I love flying!
My grand father was the first in our family to venture out, break free, and live an awesome life!
I am the third generation in this family of free thinking adventurers that have traveled the world extensively. Let's just say that we look forward to sharing both past and future adventures with all of you!
Special thanks to our friends @gringalicious, @noboxes, @fullofhope, @alovelymess & her husband @drobinson, @rigaronib & and his wife @uglysweater, @trumpit, and @lifes-a-donut!!
We are excited to start yet another adventure! ...this time, Steemit!

🌷Thank you @pinkbiru21 :)
This is great content guys, glad you joined. I'm a sucker for adventure, and I think i'm in the right place, looking forward to some more beautiful aerial shots from the Nomad!
Thanks for the warm welcome @geomagna, happy to be here! Maybe some day you can come and fly with us. Seeing the earth from up high is awesome!
No worries, and that would be awesome, i've never actually been on a plane before, but that will change this august when I finally start travelling!
Flying from A to B in a jet is a pretty cool way to travel, but you'll really think it's awesome when you can fly along in a small plane and see the world from up above, as it moves by under your feet in 3D!
