About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Explore the world and learn about cultures as much as I can

ABOUT ME

I had the perfect life in papers, but was not happy, so I quit my office job, and sold most of my possessions to travel the world.

I traveled for 2 years as a nomad, and document everything on my travel website
http://www.viajandoyaprendiendo.com

I also create travel videos in http://www.youtube.com/viajandoyaprendiendo

All I want to do is to explore and inspire others to leave their comfort zone and travel more often.

I love to get lost in the new countries I visit, and see places that many tourist don't get to see.

I know Spanish, English, and Portuguese. I'm learning Italian right now.

PHILOSOPHY

"If you are brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting, and set out on a truth-seeking journey (either externally or internally), and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue, and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher, and if you are prepared - most of all -to face (and forgive) some very difficult realities about yourself....then truth will not be withheld from you." â
