My life is divided into three parts. Part 3 is the one that starts with this travel blog. It is the most satisfying phase of my life because I can finally devote to what really excites me: traveling, writing and photographing. It is a time of creativity, freedom and joy.<\/p>

Part 2 began with my arrival in the United States in 1999. This was a university stage full of adaptations to a new culture and a new language.

Part 1 started in Mexico, my home country, for which I have great love despite not having lived there for over 15 years. It was a time of adventure. Mexico is a country with a rich culture. My passion for art, music, literature and history was born in Mexico.


This trilogy makes up who I am now: A person with an irresistible desire to travel. I believe the world is a classroom; travel is a tool for learning. Life should be a journey full of teachings that eventually will make you a great teacher. I want to live life as a unique and unforgettable journey and share it with you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
