Travel

Traveling is a way of studying the world with your body. Walking cities, crossing borders, taking the wrong road, embracing new friends, watching how other people live and coming back with better questions.

What matters to me?

I've been lucky enough to visit more than 40 countries. And I say lucky because traveling, when done for real, is not just moving — it's letting the world disorder you a little.

I travel because there are things that only appear when you step outside your context. Questions, discomforts, ideas, conversations, silences and versions of yourself that have no room to emerge in routine.

I've had trips that were rest, others that were adventure, others that were family chaos and some that were turning points. Trips that made me change decisions, imagine businesses, understand industries, want to go back or feel deeply grateful to be far away. In fact, it was a trip that led me to work in the tourism industry.

Here I write about the trips I've taken, the countries I've visited and the ways in which moving through the world ended up moving my way of living, building and seeing.
