I have always been of those who like to travel, I have traveled many parts of the world, I have lost and I have met several times in this life When I was younger than I am now I always knew that I wanted to live my life traveling, first travel in my own country, from mountains rivers, emblematic tourist sites to basically places that I came randomly without knowing where I was going, An activity that has allowed me to know myself, and although I have always been called crazy to spend all my money traveling, I have known the human in all its facets.
From a party where everyone has fun to a mountain under the snow where we seek happiness
I have realized that we are always in search of something, something that seems a lie or a fairy tale, we always hear stories of someone who has been able to find it, but I without looking for it I have run into it on several occasions.
One of them was when my jeep broke in a desert, it was quite late and I had almost no water to endure the night, for a moment I panic, I thought I would die in that desert with that old jeep that my grandfather gave me for my Adventures, I managed to make an emergency call to a relief station that was about 6 hours but it would take a while to come to my rescue at that time I only had to wait.
The night was approaching, and the sounds of that desert intensified, anyone could come to think that there are no sounds in the desert, only an extreme silence, but that is not true at all, we are usually very busy in other things to hear it .
I could perfectly hear the wind raising the sand and as it hit my face, I could hear the desert animals moving among those giant sand dunes, I could hear the sand beat in the jeep and in my face.
By that time it had been several hours since I made the emergency call and my water reserves are over quickly, I leaned on the hood of my jeep, and I thought if I am going to die that it is watching the sun hide between the sands. That was simply a beautiful sight, filled with an inexplicable peace, after that magnificent scene I could only think that I always want to be an explorer, a relics researcher and I felt a strange attraction for the deserts, I was always filled with curiosity, I do not think I ever thought to work in an office or something, I always dreamed of exploring and I dedicated my life to That, I have taken several photographs in my travels which I sell to magazines or to the highest bidder, with the money I receive from that I am still traveling.
I do not have luxuries like a great phone, or a beautiful house with a super car parked in the garage. The most precious possession I have in my head, the memories and names of every person I met in every place I lost be doing today if I were not an adventure seeker.
I remember a trip to Brazil, where I met a very famous billionaire who spent his vacation on a beach in Rio, we met because he looked like a typical cliché of movies, at the time of our meeting he wore short a flower shirt a hat about Sunglasses, and he wore stockings with his sandals, he was accompanied by a very young woman, that scene I just seemed funny so I raised my camera and managed to take a good pair of photos. That man, realizing what he had done, approached me and told me that he was not a famous person, nor any model because I took photos of him, explaining that his clothes were funny enough, we laughed a little and I I invite you to take photos of your trip with your young wife.
In the trip that man who had everything most people want, he told me that his life was quite miserable, long ago nothing surprised or satisfied, his day to day was a constant routine between business meetings Golfs and millionaire parties, "nothing makes me happy but it's the only thing I know that I could do" those miserable words came out of that man, that poor man.
Think of my economic situation the truth there were times where I did not have for gasoline, because I used to make drawings on the street for money to pay for gas and to follow my course, but when those memories come to my head they only make me smile And I think, I would do it again.
Lying in the hood of my old jeep, I can only think of all the moments of my life where I accidentally found happiness, I found it in moments of despair, I found it where nothing grew and I thought I would die, I found it when I was lying in the desert listening to the sand touch my face.
Once more I found happiness alone
