The Option Institute is an international Autism treatment center nestled in the middle of nature, which [...]

Help Bolivia, Learn Spanish
Crossing the border from Brazil, the richest country in South America to Bolivia, the poorest, marked yet another new direction in my trip. After 2 months of beach, sun and samba I was looking for something else, perhaps more meaningful.

Sometimes the worst situations in one’s life end up being the best opportunities in the long run. This was the case for Serpio Huaman, a [...]

My 2009 Summary
To me it feels like 2009 came and went so fast. I still find it hard to believe that I spent more than 8 months on the road, travelling to places I only dreamed about a year ago. Some of you know that around a year ago both my parents had a terrible car accident [...]
