I love to travel.
And I love to learn about those places I go. Learn the culture, spend time with the locals, live the daily life of the place.

I think travelling is a way of live.
Travel is the best way to keep our minds in the present, to enjoy every little moment that life give to us.

I used to study and work with advertising even that this doesn't make me happy. After a great trip to Peru that changed my view to the world, I decided quit my job and college. Now I am learning more English and Spanish to become a awesome translator in near future.

I love to read and I think that is the best way to travel without being on the road.
I read so many authors that changed my life that I think this is a great way to work and change people minds and views.

Life is just a big mix of the books you read, the people you love and the travels you make (or make you)
