However, if you are expecting something impressive you'll be disappointed with my credentials.
I am pretty average, moderately organized kind of guy...

Embraced photography when I realized that Economic Sciences wasn't going to lead me to the kind of life I wanted to have.
From then on, travel and photography had been the biggest passions, as well as the best excuse I could come up with to justify my quest.
My ego was fortified - and fate sealed - when some Art Galleries decided that what I was doing was worthy enough as to be included in their collections.
That was also my passport to starvation but I'm sure you don't want to hear about that and I don't want to bore you with details.
Truth is I have been travelling for over thirty years now.
Did my first adventure travel experience back in 1975 and still laugh at myself thinking about the dehydrated food rations I was eating in the jungle - bought in London's Soho a couple of weeks earlier.
Second time around I knew it better, took a tin of sardines as souvenir because I wasn't going to need it as food.
Navigated the Amazon river and slept under the biggest stellar firework I've seen in my life. It was going to be the Australian outback, many years later, that gave the same feeling and abysmal love I hold for nature and open spaces.
Travelling taught me that the needs of an Alabama farmer are no different from the ones of a Peruvian or a Philippine farmer.
That a capuccino in Madrid's Cibeles tastes no different from Rome's Piazza Navona or Starbucks in San Francisco.
Travelling helped me to realize that we are all just one.
Without any religious connotation.
"If we are always arriving and departing, it is also true that we are eternally anchored. One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things". Henry Miller (1891-1980) |
I am writing these lines from Dublin, Ireland, where..." rain hangs about the place, like a friendly ghost. If it's not coming down in delicate droplets, then it's in buckets; and if neither, it tends to lurk suspiciously in the atmosphere". (Barbara Acton-Bond).
I shall soon return to my beloved South America...
