Si, tal cual, mi esposo y yo, cargamos combustible, una sartén, la pava, el mate y algunos pesos, ah! y a los niños, (tres) y salimos por las rutas de nuestra argentina… aprendemos todos, sobre todo a tolerarnos, a comprendernos y a divertirnos… nuestro próximo viajes es mañana, recorreremos 1100 km para conocer el mar! Besos. Adriana.

I love traveling. Even though I am quite young (17) I’ve been in several countries because of worksops, projects or scholarships and I can say that only twice I did what you recommended above.
The result? If someone asked me what travel did I like the most, I tell him that these two journeys were the best of my life – because I did unconsciously what you just wrote (well, except the “don’t buy much” advice, I admit- feminity’s weakness).
I would suggest the 10th issue: take random photos. Photos of strangers, places, small tags, streets etc. Photos will best bring in the future the memories – the way to keep in touch with what you experienced, I think.

Cheers,
A cherful traveler

I always want to be traveler. The real one. As the idea that Paulo wrote in this article: find the LIVE within every city. I, once, travel by myself, impulsively, and found that it somehow more interesting to sit down by the park near the main street of the city and see how people pass their night with their beloved or friends.. .. It simply amazing..

I just love his advice,his whole way of being,so that even with travel,I am inspired by his words and suddenly see things differently.I just realised by reading the above how completely shut down my mind is and how easily I am led by the written word.Or is it just that sometimes the truth in a piece of writing,even something as obvious as travel tips really resonates with me? Loved this and suddenly made me very eager to do my own thing and not follow the herd….even though I just realised how much I am a part of the collective and not a free thinker at all…hahaha.

About the “lost”/ unknown church/chappel; I totally agree that the place of worship not known to crowds, will even let the non-believer connect with his soul. I’ve been to the Sistine chapel and appart from being very rushed is had no sacred energy for me. All was lost in the hanging humm and loud speakers telling all to be quiet. it’s a pity that ‘tourist philosophy’ dilutes an experience that could be life changing or atleast let you connect again.

It makes sense that you go look for your angels in the desert. True religion requires no distractions.

Sr. Paulo,

Estoy completamente de acuerdo con su visión del viaje, mi compañera Belinda y yo, hemos estado viajando 5 meses en latino america, hemos tenido la suerte de conocer de entre otras ciudades la suya (Rio de Janeiro) y tenemos la suerte de conocer sitios espectaculares gracias a la fabulosa gente que nos hemos encontrado en el camino.

La guía de viaje estaba en nuestras manos, pero aunque previamente mirabamos que podíamos visitar, nos hemos dejado guiar por las señales en nuestro camino y visitado lugares que quizas no estaban remarcados y que han resultado ofrecernos experiencias inolvidables.

Me encanta leer sus libros, pues me identifico mucho en ellos, seguramente como le ocurrirá a muchos de sus lectores.

Muchas gracias por las palabras con las que nos llena esos momentos de lectura, gracias por sus libros.

Para bem pra voçe!
beijos,
Cristina
