CURRENT MISSION

going around the world for 2 years starting in jan 2011

LE: as of apr 2015 I'm still travelling around the world as a lifestyle, moving from one place to another.

ABOUT ME

I've been starring at a computer screen as a programmer and IT consultant for about 16 years, so I think is the time to take a break...my eyes will definitely appreciate the time off :)

I did some travelling - I have some 50 spots on my world map, but how much can you learn about a country or it's people when you're on vacation for a few days ?

In Jan 2011 I'm heading to French Guiana where I start my RTW tour. I plan to visit all the countries in South America, then I move to Central America, parts of US (visiting friends on east and west coasts), Canada, Alaska, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and if time permits India.

I started with a 12 months plan, then I extended it to 18 months and later to 2 years.. but I'll see how it goes along the way. I know for sure the date when I'm leaving home.. but I don't know where the road will take me.

Stay tuned, coming soon in a location near you.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
