The purpose of writing this blog is mainly to keep friends and family back home informed about my travels and how I’m getting accustomed to life in Berlin. However, I also intend to encourage people to travel, to explore on their own what’s out there, and to not just look for vacations but also for adventures. I must admit that I have been struck by the travel bug, I try to travel for at least three months every year. Back home (Fresno, CA) I work hard and save money in order to finance my trips and I feel proud of it. The satisfaction is greater when it was self financed as you can claim merit for it yourself. So far I have visited 4 countries in South America, but I really want to keep on exploring that continent because it is the place I call home. Ever since I was able to work I have been able to travel for 3 consecutive summers, except for the last one, which I pushed to 8 months thanks to a study abroad program which is taking place now in Berlin and unfortunately coming to an end. During this short stay in Europe I was able to visit 20 countries and still going along with many different cities. The best part about it are the people I have met and the friends I have made.
