TRAVEL,I LOVE TO TRAVEL!!!
when i can take my backpack and i can leave and go abroad i feel a strange soul inside of me,passion to discover,to feel,to see,to LIVE
LIFE is the big treasure,this is the reason because i am a lover of the life,i am looking for places,people,cultures,maybe is only that i am looking for inside myself....i do not know...sometimes i don´t say why? i say why not?

Francis Bacon said "to travel in the young sort is part of the education,in the elderly part of the experience..."

and St Agustin said if you don´t travel you only read the first page of book´s life

i am on the road,in the way of this LIFE....
i do not know if the future is coming or i am walking to take it...

i like to discover new experiences,to read normal books and LIFE´S BOOK,a speech with an unknown person,a smile coming from a grandmother in a station,a coffee in a square seeing new people,a backpack close to me is like a inspiration a way to get FREEDOM...

"traveling is almost like talking with men of other centuries...." said René Descartes

" Most important is not our destination,most important is TO GO..." Mr Manuel Leguineche-Spanish War journalist,traveler,writter,humanist and great citizen"

in spanish i had selected these phrase from Arturo Pérez-Reverte-writer,ex war journalist,traveler.

“el gran ritual de la literatura, de la aventura y de la vida: el viaje peligroso mediante el que, quien se atreve a emprenderlo, progresa en el conocimiento de sí mismo y del mundo en el que vive”

“fueron los libros los que me impulsaron a partir,fueron los libros los que me proporcionaron el gusto por la aventura”

I love to travel, but I hate to arrive.

- Albert Einstein

"El futuro pertenece a quienes creen en la belleza de sus sueños"
Eleonor Roosevelt

Hi Ivan,

How are you doing? I have a business trip to Barcelona soon. Can you recommend me a place close to Barcelona for the weekend? I have been there before. That's why, I want to explore somewhere new this time. For example, would you recommend San Sebastian? Would the sea be warm there 3 weeks later? :-)
