 Expeditions and ecoturism
engineering: Past experiences
I work on a turist company as a guide, my work
consists on organizing and guiding expeditions across
the chilean Patagonia. Before I worked on the
company, I had worked in my brother in law’s
company as an administrator, because to find job on
this area it’s very difficult. Also, Before I achieved one
year working in there, I had won less than $1.000.000,
but now I win about $500.000 by each expedition I
organize.
I develope myself on the geoturist area, but before I
did this, I had been very influenced by my family on
the engineer area, and that’s why I used to work with
my brother in law.
 In what places can I work?
My first expedition organized by myself

As I mentioned before, I used to work part-

time as an administrator on my brother in
law’s company, but before that I had a
couple of expeditions organized by my
own. I used to organize myself the entire
trip and call my own contacts, like the Company administrator
friends of my friends, their families, et One of my expeditions
working on the company
cetera, and the prize wasn’t very high.
When I started working on the tourism
company my salary increased and now I
am happy with the amount of money I win.
Fortunately, I had never been sacked of
my work place, I had developed very well
on each one of them.
 Pros about my job
I love my job, there are many things about
it wich I like the most.
One of them is that it’s a very motivating
job, I am in constant moving and working
with people and that motivates me a lot.
Another thing that I love about my job is
that it is very stimulating for me, because
being on the nature stimulates me a lot and
it helps me to canalize all my emotions.
Also, my work is very rewarding, because I
always feel that all the efford that I put on
it, it is rewarded to me.
Cons about my
job
Although I love my job, there are certain
things that I don’t like too much…
My job is a little hazardous, I have to do
some dangerous activities when I’m at
work, and that could hurt me someday.
Another think that I dislike about my job is
that it’s very demanding, it consumes
almost all of my time, and that means that it
could be difficult for me to have a family
someday.
Also, my job is stressful, I have to be
constantly traveling and organizing new
travels, and that makes me gets on my
nerves sometimes.
How am I as an ecoturism
engineer?
 I think that one of the most important thing
about working in any kind of job is to be self-
confident about what you are doing, and I
feel like that. I love feeling that my clients and
the people who I travel with are pleased with
the way I do my job, that’s why I am self-
confident.
 Also, I think I am a little workaholic, I am
addicted to my job, even though there are
things that I don’t like too much about it, still I
love my job and it makes me very happy to
work doing what I like the most: travelling. I
am addicted to my job because it’s fullfiling
doing it.
 Conclusion
 It was fun to me to do this assessment
because, as I said before, I really love my
job, and sharing some things about it is
very interesting for me.
 I enjoyed doing this because my career
it’s not very common and it difficult to
me to find people who worked on the
area, so if I can share my story, I am
happy to do it.
