Astronomical Backpacker
This idea was born in Venezuela. Motivated by Astronomy and Sciences, we organized multiple activities to promote this knowledge in every corner in Caracas. Unfortunately, the Venezuelan crisis lead to the cessation of activities in Science communication institutions. So, based on the premise that 'Astronomy is a Science without borders', we decided to broaden our horizons and to take Astronomy to other cities and countries in South America. Between 2017 and 2019, we visited 150 cities in 6 countries. For that reason, our goal in 2020 is to continue expanding this horizon to other latitudes or continents to create a network of amateur and professional astronomers.
