Once, a short time after arriving in Australia, I found myself sleeping in an abandoned car I had found by the side of the road for a few days, not because I didn’t have money, but because I didn’t have money and couldn’t find any better place. It was not so far from the city, the only catch was that I had to cross the highway to get there, which is, as most hitchhikers know,…
"I can take it"Category: travel
I always think of KL as this post-apocalyptic city, a place where life ended a while ago, and even though it’s full of people everywhere I see it as a devastated, desolated, ruined place. Last year I thought it was the shades, but still, can’t explain why it happens only in KL. Yesterday my friend took me for volunteer work at the Zoo Negara, and it was such a great experience, all these years living…
"About KL"
Bruno: I’m sick and tired of this. Enough is enough, this system is corrupted, I don’t want anything to do with it anymore. Friend: Oh boy, here we go. Bruno: Seriously, I’m not gonna worship money, I’m tired of everything and I don’t want to live on this planet anymore. Friend: That’s great, because I don’t want you to live on this planet anymore. Bruno: You need me. Friend: Yeah whatever, what happened now? Bruno:…
"Whatever 10"
There were those nights, warm summer nights, when we were out in the countryside, and we felt the wind on our faces, that’s when we knew, that’s when we knew we were alive. When we were sitting by the lake, drawing circles in the sand, and just gazing at the stars, then the wind will blow your hair, that’s when we knew we were alive. And while waiting for a ride, by the side of…

"That’s when we knew we were alive"
NOOOOOOOOO!!! That’s what I always hear in my mind when someone asks me “are you traveling?” or they say “oh, you don’t work, so you are traveling here”. I started disliking the word traveling because I feel that if I travel I can’t live. Don’t want to be a traveler, I want to live here… So I spend too much time trying not to look like this: And avoiding words like…
"Make Love to the Backpacker"
As I’ve mentioned, when people meet each other for the first time, 95% of times, they will ask each other a set of predefined questions in order to do one or more of the following things: 1- Judge each other. 2- Predict what course the relationship will take. 3- Place the other person in a social or hierarchical position either higher or lower to their owns. 4- Complete the first step in order to move to…
"So, I heard you like meeting people"
While in Germany I learned many valuable things, I learned that there’s not only one solution to a problem, there are infinite. I learned to think outside the box, I learned to be resourceful, I learned to ask for help if I needed it. I learned to give and receive. I learned it’s ok not to work or study. It’s ok to be different. It’s ok to be yourself. And I learned something about myself…

I arrived in Spain on November 12th, 2005 with too much luggage and a mess in my head. I was going to meet my father for the first time in a long time and I would have to live with him (and talk to him). That was something I wasn’t entirely comfortable with, and by not entirely comfortable I mean that it scared the s**t out of me. But I knew I had to do…
