the power of hooking up people @ Aeropark, Barcelona, Spain, January 2, 2019

While I’ll be gone and backpacking from Lebanon to Egypt, my car will rest in a parking lot in Barcelona. In fact, it started having its vacation from a month ago, when I flew to Korea. Today I dropped by the parking lot to swap some contents in my backpack and to do some car maintenance work. Understandably, I found the battery totally discharged, but my portable jumpstart battery could not start the car either. The battery was not too young anyways, so I started to...

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 good old friend, i.e., the year itself, and I am not too excited to throw a party right after I see my friend off. Well, the years may be just some...

Interview with Frankie Martinez, August 2017, Part 3

It is my great pleasure to publish an interview series with Frankie Martinez, filmed last year in New York. Mr. Martinez is widely regarded as one of the most innovative Latin dancers of our generation, but I’m certain that the video is no less inspiring to those who don’t practice dance. Because, I believe, it is about a person’s earnest life journey to purse the values he believes in. There are 3 videos in total and each one lasts about 40 mins. This is the 3rd...

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 see my family and I booked flight tickets right away. It had been 1 year and 10 months since I last visited Korea. Some of my friends wished me that I...

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 I was traveling in the US, it seems like a long time ago, and I remember it less clearly day after day. I guess my recent memories constantly push out the...
