I hit the road again @ Incheon International Airport, Korea, December 28, 2018

I hit the road again About a month passed since I came to Korea for a ‘break’ from travels. The reason for visiting Korea was simple. When I was in Brazil in August this year, my father either wrote or spoke to me, “I miss you.” and that was when I knew I needed to …

The first picture @ The Signer statue, Philadelphia, US, September 7, 2017

The first picture As I am having a ‘break’ these days from traveling, I thought it’s a good time to review the initial part of it. My journey started 1 year and 3 months ago, and it lasted in the US and Canada during the first 3.5 months. When I think about the time when …

‘Staying in touch’ @ Costanera, Asuncion, Paraguay, June 17, 2018

“Staying in touch” In 2007, I was starting a new life in a small town called San Ignacio in Paraguy as a biology/chemistry teacher at a highschool. Because my house was far from the city center, when I was doing grocery shopping, I used to buy a large quantity of my staple food just to …

Less touristy cities @puente Viejo, murcia, Spain, November 17, 2018

Compared to the previous cities – Granada and Madrid, Murcia is much smaller and definitely less touristy. Google says the most popular attraction is the Murcia Cathedral, but I cannot care less about cathedrals these days – there always have been and there always will be cathedrals.

Memory of Asturias @Cabo Vidio, Asturias, Spain, November 7, 2018

Cabo de Vidio, Asturias Between the Vasco region and the Galicia region of Spain, I needed to drive through the Asturias region.

Albergue Santuario Nuestra Señora de Magallón, Leciñena, Spain, November 4, 2018
