Camping in South America doesn't sound like the safest thing ever. Maybe in remote places, wilderness is better than potential muggers, druggies and kidnappers.
Also cycling might be better than hitchhiking. With a bike you could move somewhat larger pack (I would make a smaller pack with essentials, all time on me or near me, and one/several others with "comfort" items). The problem would still be security.
With working for you dad you could gain XP on that field and maybe you could try to get a job elsewhere with that. Maybe you could learn something online, and than try do jobs there. HTML and CSS isn't hard, I dunno however if that's enough to find some freelance work with that (or how surely get paid, not getting taken advantage of, or not fucked by authorities for tax evasion).

That statue looks like a narrow penis with oversized balls. Here, have a pussy statue in return.
