there are a lot realities, experiences, adventures, people, cultures around, and i want to discover , to know and TO LIVE it....
Books you might find in my backpack
i prefer a good book from the place where i am travelling than a travel guide, i am reader-dreamer from children, obviously there are books inside my backpack, i need a book during my trip and always among stations in the life´s journey a, maybe like the most part of travelers, our dreams are coming from here, i love to read

Music you might find me listening to while waiting for my plane
i like diversity, sometimes rock and roll, sometimes jazz, cill out, it depends the moment, the ambient, my feelings, maybe one song from my favourite group U2, or Rolling Stones, Police, the Waterboys, Dave Mathews, RHCP, dire straits, Ben Harper, Bruce Springsteen Bob Marley, the waterboys, Jack johnsonSimple minds, chill out, classic, ethnic, jazz, or spanish song writters like quique gonzález, antonio vega, loquillo, sabina and spanish guitar....i prefer diversity , maybe i am listen to...

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"
