Where I’ve Been

Hi there! I’m guessing you are here because you want to know more about me and the countries I’ve visited, right?

I started travelling when I was 22, got a job after finishing my studies, and started earning money!

Although I wish I could, I’m not one of those lucky people who travel the world for a living.

I’m one of the “mortals” who must work five days a week for a salary, which I must stretch to pay my bills and travel the world. And the same happens with my annual leave; it is never enough! But I’ve mastered how to make the most of it!

So far, I’ve visited over 50 different countries (and counting), some of them more than once. And I thought it was a reasonable threshold to start writing this blog.

Here is the list of where I’ve been until now:
