Just Call it Badassery

Just Call it Badassery

In the next few months you’ll be seeing me posting from different countries/places. If you happen to come across my pictures and you start feeling jealous, I’d like you to instead try to feel inspired. Whatever I do I deserve

I Like Big Bites (and Why Should I Lie?)

I Like Big Bites (and Why Should I Lie?)

(One who travels lives two lives. But who counts… El Viajero certainly does not.) I am one of those people who like taking big bites. Huge bites to be exact. Small steps they said, everything needs time and patience and

Who likes to sit?! It’s 2019!

Who likes to sit?! It’s 2019!

January 1st: the day that all new year’s resolutions make sense, like a pile neatly stacked top to bottom. Although getting from A to B tends to get messier that one would think or expect, I say fear not. Dream

It’s about the Journey, not the Destination

It’s about the Journey, not the Destination

2018 will be remembered as one of the most amazing years of my life. It’s been a year of simple and absolute badassery – and this doesn’t have to do only with traveling, although it did play its part, naturally.

A 17′ Throwback

A 17′ Throwback

Have you ever found something that you created in the past but you’ve forgotten, and upon finding it you felt proud about your younger self? It is something I love doing to Lina at any given opportunity. It is a

Back to the Future, She Wrote

Back to the Future, She Wrote

Every traveler, whether they are an addict or just casual, brings something back from the destinations they visit, a trophy, a memento, something to show off they’ve been somewhere new, something to remind the good and the bad, a souvenir.

Bel Haiti

Bel Haiti

In the days that I’ve been back from my trip in Haiti I’ve been itching to write a post about my experience there. Approaching this subject has been really contradicting, and for many reasons. During my summer travels another traveler

Traveling Souvenirs

Traveling Souvenirs

For me, one of the most challenging things about traveling is going back home. Retaining the knowledge gained while traveling, the insights, the richness of each and every day spent away from the safety and the routine I have created,

Road tripping with a cause

Road tripping with a cause

Recently I took a trip to WA inspired by the Twin Peaks show. I visited the Double R diner and other iconic filming locations. I’ve never done something like this before, visit a place just because a show or a

(One of My) Reasons to Travel

(One of My) Reasons to Travel

A couple of years ago I was working with an older man who back in the day worked and lived all over the world with his family. We had a special relationship as we shared a certain passion for traveling.

  • This is your friendly reminder to get your #fridaythe13th #tattoo tomorrow. 
I got my new little friend at @cleopatrainkorangecounty my firm peach at @newportpeach and my sparkly attitude from #greece

  • It’s always an honor receiving art from friends! Thank you, @madeleinekannan for thinking of me, and for making my home’s walls brighter. And yes, we’ve come a long way, but your painting has always been amazing! @madostinyart
  • They say time is an illusion, however as it trickles away, it’s fun noticing milestones and celebrating them. 2025 was a wonderful year full of growth. Buying an apartment, getting a new job, taking care of my body and my heart, and of course, lots of traveling and music; throw in some tattoos and piercings and the picture is complete. 2026’s goals are grander, with some of the same and more of the new. Peace and freedom are achieved step by step, and me, I’m on my way.
  • A really full birthday month for this Virgo woman, filled with all the good stuff: #lennykravitz concert in #lasvegas , #camping in #catalina island, #winetasting in #temecula , and a short yet sweet trip to #tokyo . All the good energy, all the good people, all the good food please! Cheers to another round of everything 🌎🌍🌏
