Not all who wander are lost. Some of them just left on a Tuesday-

Here in the southern hemisphere its winter now, the snows have fallen in the high mountain and its a beautiful time to travel to Torres del Paine National Park. Time to take all that gear thats in your closet and pack up for a 5 day W trek, dont worry, Ill take care of you. The winter is my favorite time in Patagonia, there is no one here, the park is empty, the trails are empty the lookouts are quiet, you only hear your breath and the sound of your footsteps making first track in early morning. We go in with everything, expedition style, our tents our food our camp equipment, you dont carry everything the porters do, even your tent. Want to test your sprirt and see a place few people even dream about, come hike the W trek in Winter. We start on July 30th, with dates on August 15th and August 30th, only small groups, dont wait for the perfect time, the time is now.

The Glacier Grey can be seen on day 5 of the big Circuit Hike of 9 days in Torrres del Paine National Park in south Chile, hiking 130km is possible for the adventerous souls looking to get away from it all.

Even in my mind, when the wind is blowing me over and iam tired I ask why am I doing this, why am I pushing myself over and over crossing mountains. Your mind will mess with you, you will doubt yourself even in the process of before. What we are really made of is deep inside and this is a journey of the soul, a time to walk in your thoughts, the answers come in the wind. Step by step. The beauty of nature soaks into you.

The mountains asked if I was ready to change my life.
I said yes before I realized I was already different just for being here.
Sometimes the journey transforms you before you reach the destination. 🏔️

Happy Monday, how is everyone?

The Paine Grande Mountain is part of Las Torres del Paine National Park Masizo Paine mountain range and means Blue in the Aoinikenk languange, its massive ice camp is part of the last ice of a glaciar age that lasted for 2 millions years and from the steams that flow down to the trails you can drink this pure water while hiking in south Patagonia. Here on the pampa horses run with Guanacos, in summer you can see these scenes during your travels. Come explore south Chile with me on a private experience like no other.

Most people don’t hate the gym.

They hate looking in the mirror and knowing they’re capable of more.

That feeling of:

“I should be further than this.”

BodyShift exists for people who are done ignoring that feeling.


Not temporary motivation.

Not fake promises.


Just discipline.

Consistency.

Transformation.


One decision repeated daily can completely rebuild a person.
