Hey there! I'm Carlos, from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Thank you for reading my "About me" section.

One day, a long time ago, I left my life in Buenos Aires to start traveling around the world, with all my fears, all my doubts, leaving my comfort zone, with all the world against me, I just did it.

What did I find? Happiness. I never felt so free, so good and so powerful, you know, when you travel, when you're alone in a new world, you feel like the world is yours, you can try, fail, try again and you will never lose.

In this time, I learned new languages, I knew new cultures, new religions, new food and I made many, many, many new friends.

What can I say? I consider myself the most lucky man in the world, every day I take a hot shower, I talk to my friends and I'm in love with the most beautiful woman in the world. And in addition to that , I travel a lot.

I'm really happy.

Before you say no, think that someday you'll die. Yes, you're going to die.

Jump in the sea, let your hair tangle... let the salt harden your hair and skin, let it peel. Jump in at day or at nighttime... Let a giant wave take you for a ride and sand your pants. Let the "topless" be by the water force, less sexy and more fun. Laugh out loud, bury yourself in the sand and make a sand castle... yes, you're old, but the desire to make a sand castle will never go.

Skydive! that you are more likely to die parking the car in the garage of your house, crossing in a hurry the street on the way to work, or from a post-stress heart attack, post-junk food, post-depression. Lie down and cuddle with your dog, let your clothes be filled with his hair, listen to his heart pounding... yes, the one that beats only for you.

Meet with your friends even if you don't have a fucking cent. There is always a beer somewhere and leftover food out there. Get together with them and piss yourself by laughing, and if you see them with the cellphone, throw it over their head! Cursed them, because they are there with you... and the rest must wait. Have a BBQ, go to the beach and walk without shirt in in the middle of the street. Just to laugh. Friendship heals and there is no better antidepressant.

Travel. Save money and travel. Perhaps when you finish paying the clothes you are using, they are already worn out. Perhaps when you finish paying your home or your debt, this has taken... all your energy. Perhaps when you finish paying your car, you're already used to walk. Perhaps when you finish paying for the microwave, you realize that heating up food in the stove is way delicious. The super extra mega big blah blah "King" bed is not needed, maybe camping in the mountain is better. Listen to me sucker, travel.

Travel, travel to enrich the soul. Meet people, cultures, and languages. Travel to see and hear that love no matter where you are, speaks with the same language. Travel and lie down in the grass. Twelve empty beers and hours of talking, leave your tongue tired while memorizing the landscape in front of you. And if there is no money, travel close by anyway. Sit down under a tree. Three blankets, a sandwich and nothing else.

Listen, listen to your folks. Ask them everything that you do not know and everything that happened to them. How many times they fall in love and how many loved ones they lost. Ask them who they wanted to be when they were kids. Ask them why the hell they don't do it if they are still alive. Talk, talk with them, because they listen to you patiently. Stop with the “I’m-too-cool-to-hang-out-with-my-parents” bullshit. Hug them as if was for the last time... because there are no birthday candles or shooting stars wishes that grant immortality.

Say it! Speak, write it, and communicate all. Leave the shame behind. Tell her that you want her, tell him you love him. Give unforgettable kisses. Tell him/her that you go to sleep and wake up thinking about him/her. Tell him/her everything that goes through your mind. Be disgustingly cheesy and romantic. Stop playing hard to get, that we all know what the other feels. So... Say it! What can you lose? Confess what you like, what makes you crazy, what turns you on.

Stop rubbing sadness' back and embrace her, strongly embrace her and feel it. And it will fade and will come back later good as new and so on... and you will return the embrace.

Before having kids... Be a kid! Be a kid as long as you can. Sleep, go out, laugh, eat chocolates and gummy bears and laugh more. Nail your youth before aging. And when you grow old, tell the stories to the next generation... tell them the meaning of each wrinkle. Do not leave behind only your gray body, leave your desire to live. Go old man, let the kids play ball while you nap. Do you remember when you played ball while the grownups where napping? Do not call the police. Buy candy and balloons for them and when they hit the bell and run, throw water at them! Go old man! old my balls. Yes they are old but blood burst from his chest. It was not so long ago old man, remember and laugh with them before saying no.
