 About Me: Hola amigos!
I am writing in this site because I love to travel, just like you, and want to read about other travellers’ experiences and share mine.
Like many other young boys, when I was 18 years old I travelled around several Western European countries, hitchhiking, sleeping in youth hostels or in the nature, and finding occasional jobs in Paris, Brussels, Genoa, or in the Isle of Wight, to earn enough money to keep on travelling. After that period I only travelled once a year, during my holidays, for short periods of time, in countries nearby Spain.
But at 28 something happened in my inner world and I gave up everything to travel more intensively, until now. Since then I am able to sacrifice everything for the travels, and when I come back home, in Spain, my first goal is to prepare a new trip. Nothing else interests me more in life; I only find truth travelling. The main conversation with my friends is about travelling, the selected books that I read are also about travels, and the particular virtuous music that I listen is mainly about far away countries, Buddha-Bar and the like. I save all the money that I earn in sporadic jobs for the travels, I do not even own a car, I walk or take the underground instead, and watching the TV channels (controlled by the political parties) and reading the manipulating newspapers do not interest me at all. I do not care about delicatessen food, or elegant clothes. Only my travels and especially what I learn thanks to them give me satisfaction. Today I do not feel a tourist; I do not even feel a traveller either, but rather a monk in constant pilgrimage around his temple, the beautiful planet Earth. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soon I will review all my MTP countries and I will remove from my account the territories that I crossed by train or bus, but I was not CONCIOUS. For instance, in 2006 I took a night train from Moscow to Astrakhan, in Russia, and I crossed several Oblasts along the way. But I was sleeping, or at the most in the 10 minutes stop of the train I descended from my carriage to the platforms to buy food in the kiosks around, or to the women selling fruits.But that is not visiting a country, so if I am honest I do not have the moral right to count those Oblasts.Therefore, in the near future I will write in MTP at least a short report of each territory visited CONSCIOUSLY, and will delete those countries of which I have nothing to say.(Profile picture: Moscow, during Summer 2007)(TRAVELERS EXPLOITS CLUB):www.jorgesanchez.org/09CountryList/09MasterCountryList.htm
