FROM SANTIAGO TO THE ROAD

First of all, let me tell you a little bit about how your bike ride to South America started with my dad. After a year and a half working in Santiago, chile's capital, in South America, my father and I were talking about what to do about the future. I can ride my bike around South America, but I'd like to hitch a quick tour of the continent with a friend, and then I'll ride my bike. He was on the Bodrum road from Tekirdağ when I said these things, or I don't remember exactly the time on the return of his long journey by bicycle. As a result, we've both been asked the question of why we can't travel to South America together, and why not?


I met my father in Santiago, chile's capital, before I could yet assign the financial and moral troubles of a very large robbery in Lima. I hitchhiked again, I guess, in the third year of college. I've been sure that hitchhiking since the year was more beneficial for me in every sense. If you like getting to know people, learning new things, it's even more exciting to find it on the road. We had stayed at the friends' house where we had arranged our bikes for a few days and I was already sure that we would have cultural exchanges with many local people.


In the house we stayed in, a Peruvian indigenous called Humitas was made. And we were doing too much, and I was saying we were, and I was helping. In fact, they were making this Humitas to sell, and so I had the opportunity to personally experience how this Peruvian cultural food, which some friends in Santiago said evoked my name, was made. Maybe I can share the details of Humitas in the future.


We had completed a few shortcomings to get on the road and now we were going to start cycling for an idea that seemed impossible in our minds. It's a matter of saying that this idea came about spontaneously. It's not like we should say let's do this on a day like that. We would cycle across South America and with the cura and ney musical instruments belonging to Anatolia that we were transporting with us, we would remind a stream, a mountain or a forest of this tone against a few people or against a nature, or we would make them hear it for the first time in their lives. It's basically a journey on a bicycle based on creating a cultural sharing with the universal language of music. People across the continent are unaware of these musical instruments and the cultural ideas and thoughts that these musical instruments carry. Just as we are not news to the local and regional musical instruments of this continent and the ideas they have endorsed.
