2018, you were good @ Parc de Montjuïc, Barcelona, Spain, December 31, 2018

2018, you were good People say happy new year to one other. Fireworks are shot into the sky. Many people party until late into the night. People seem happy but happiness has not been something that could best describe what I feel around each year’s end. It is the time to say goodbye to a …

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 …

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. So I came to the Old Bridge of …

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

After a long and sweet break in Barcelona, I hit the road again. The first destination of my Iberian adventure was Zaragoza. To be exact, it was a very small town in the North of Zaragoza, Leciñena, with about one thousand habitants. In part, I was drawn to the unique hostel there. It was inside …
