Ever since I read those Old National Geographic Reprints, I have been infatuated by the "romantic" notion of traveling. Adventuring and learning all you can from the world is a beautiful thing. You see, I have a problem with the way our current education system is established. After being fed-up with school, I graduated and decided that instead of focusing all my will-power to get that "job" and rack up the bills, I would invest in something that is truly worth it.

I ended up traveling to many distant lands, had many experiences that will be with me forever. I got my moneys worth : ) I learned much more than all the systems and theories school hammered into my head. Sure some schooling is necessary, the great thing is, that traveling filled many gaps, specially the missing ones. Interacting with people of all different backgrounds (cultures), making friends (networking), coming up with solutions, team building, management, risk taking, problem solving. Everything plus much more; I experienced in the school of the real "World Wide Web".

So after all my trips I decided to become an entrepreneur and be my own boss. Because after you go into a cage with tigers, dive with a school of barracuda, run with 2 ton bulls, venture into scary alleys at night, dodge pissed off reptiles, get drunk and figure out a way to get home (without knowing the language), eat scorpions raw, and make unforgettable memories, without being afraid; the thought of venturing on your own and taking the entrepreneur "dive" into the dark waters of the business world, is just another mind barrier and conscious made fear that exists, well...in your mind!

This year I plan many other things, I will keep you updated on my new travels!
