After graduating college in International Trade and Business in 2003 my life in Argentina came to a closure, a stage in my life that needed a change. That's why I decided to quit my job and leave everything behind to explore the world.
But of course I
had no idea of how to do that, nor the money
or friends that would help me. In December
2005 I got a ticket to NYC and took it from
there. After studying English there for an
year while getting a life in the city of
cities, enjoying the cultural activities,
foods, and night life, it was time continue
the trip. I took of to Europe where I
unsuccessfully tried to live and work in
Barcelona. But my hopes never faded and I
continued my trip to Israel.
The Holy land actually received me really
good and I finished up living in a Kibbutz
in the north, working in the kitchen and
learning a new language and new tricks. By
the end of 2006 though I was almost broke.
By that time I was working in the outskirts
of Jerusalem building a wellness center made
of mud in a chicken coup, but my continuous
travel emptied my wallet. That year I had
visited almost 15 countries in Europe, Asia
and Africa.
By January 2007 I was back in NYC for more.
I stayed there for 6 months to prepare for
the next leg of my trip, further into Asia.
When my time there was due, I went back to
Israel to continue work, this time as a
gardener. I stayed there for around 3
months, waiting for the monsoon to finish in
India. By September I took a flight to
Mumbai and started from there an incredible
trip around India.
For 3 months I travelled to the from Goa to
the Himalayas, where i studied Buddhism and
was lucky enough to meet awesome people. The
Indian adventure was great but all has an
end, luckily for me I had an opportunity in the land of the rising sun. I tried
to go overland but the I needed to be there for
December so I had to go. But not before I
took a short vacation in a beautiful island
in Thailand.
Japan proved to be an amazing place, an
incredible culture, food, women, technology…
I just loved it, I spent there 6 months. Because the Visa is
only for 3 months I made a brief to China,
with the intention of getting all the way
into Tibet but the 2008 unrest caused all
foreigners to be banned from the TAR, so I
came back to Japan to continue
studying Japanese. By May my Visa was due
again so I had to take off, I decided to
visit my friends again in NYC. I got a
place in Harlem and spent a great summer in
the city, and out of it as well, getting
ready to visit my country for the first time
in 4 years.
I came back to Argentina but my feet got
itchy very very soon, so I decided to get my
self to Machu Pichu, overland. I came back
to my country just on time for the new year,
and the 2009 got my in the Patagonia, in a
friends house.
After so much travel I rested in Buenos
Aires for 3 months, when I decided that is
was time for another adventure. I used my
ticket back all the way to Japan where i
started an Import Export business. I didn't
forgot my roots though and decided to make a
short adventure, this time with my sister,
so we went again to Thailand, an crossed to
Laos and Cambodia, before returning back to
Japan, from where I'm writing this letters.
It is now 5
years since I started traveling this trip
got me along around 30 countries in 4
continents and more than 160 cities. I had
many jobs between them waiter, street
performer, lumberjack, cook, gardener,
businessman, real state agent… and more. I
learned Hebrew, some Arabic, Japanese and
perfectioned my English.
I entered 100 year old Churches, Synagogues,
Hindu, Buddhist, Shintoints, and Taoists
temples an learned a lot about each culture.
Visited also most world landmarks including
the Taj Mahal, Angkor Wat, the great wall,
the Pyramids of Egypt, Machu Pichu, The Pisa
Tower and more…
From Here only god knows where it will continue, but in any case I’m sure its going to be fine, like it was until now. Currently I’m exporting leather goods from Argentina, selling pictures, writing a book and looking for more opportunities and places to travel.
