My Blog

   There are a lot of places in the world where I´d love to go. I think that travelling is one of the best ways to learn about culture, tolerance, and life in general. It opens your mind and can make you a better person. I haven´t been to a lot of countries, but I´d like to. For now, it is difficult for me to travel around the world, but in my opinion, there isn´t only one way to do it. You can travel from your own house, wherever you want. You only have to take a book, or sit in your couch and watch a good film, and you can be transported to the other side of the world.


So, in this blog, I want to talk about places. No matter which places. Just places where we can find so different manners, people and landscapes. I haven´t been in a lot of these places, but I have learned about them through books and cinema, and I´ll talk about novels and films that have woken up my interest in some cultures and histories.
   I think it is important to know how people are living in other countries; how they suffer, how they survive, how they enjoy life or how they have to overcome the obstacles. And it is these things I want to talk about. About places around the world, about ways of living, about what´s happening on other countries, and about these special films and books that can help you to travel in other way.




     As the British writer Pico Iyer said: “Travel is like love, mostly because it’s a heightened state of awareness, in which we are mindful, receptive, undimmed by familiarity and ready to be transformed. That is why the best trips, like the best love affairs, never really end.” So, let´s travel!
