its been long since last timewe talked

Its been long since the last time I wrote something, and as a lot of things in life, it was harder and harder to start again, as every week new adventures took place in my journey, new people joined my walk. So every time I tried to resume my journey to date it looked like such an enormous job to do. It wasn't until yesterday when two things happened that I got inspired to start over with my writing. I wrote to a friend with who I haven’t message for a long while and I remember the whole point of why I started to write this journal at the first place.

Last time I wrote in this adventure journal I was in New Zealand thinking what I was going to do next, a bit heart broken. Today Ive been in so many places after that and lived in a few other countries for a short while. I met an awesome woman with who Ive been living this travels in the last 7 months and Im set up in Australia for the last few weeks living in Manly, a beach area north the Sydney harbor.

Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Nepal, Hong Kong, India, Australia, have been some of the places I’ve cross. Stayed in Nepal living for 3 months, as General Manager of an NGO, donating my time and money to it, to find out it was a scam, that the “Director” of it was taking advantage of me and some volunteers. I stayed for long in Thailand traveling it all from south to north and from west to east. There is where I met Lea, my girlfriend today. Laos was a place where I got lost in time and left back some ghosts were hunting me for long in my life. Singapore was my first foot in Asia, and it was great, a city I dream of working developing professionally there. Vietnam Was a playground  where I did things I should’ve not, I didn’t had a visa, because I didn't knew I couldn’t get one on arrival, so I enter illegal and got out illegal, crossing its neighbor country also illegally to get out of it. Malaysia was stunning. beautiful beaches and islands on its north and a place where I sold, exchange and upgrade all the things I needed to continue my journey. Hong kong hold me as a home after my experience in Nepal and I was overwhelmed with it huge buildings and its wealth.

Australia has been a new beginning. After Asia I went back with Lea to the North Island of New Zealand, but I felt that my time there had come to an end. I’ll miss my friends there: Kika, Jorge, Lesley, Hugh and Darla who became family to me. But everything has its time and we cant leave stock forever in places or moments, because it not natural. Things change, evolve, turn into new things and that makes us grow. My plan is stay in Australia until my brothers wedding in may,  but with what i’ve learned in my life Im ready for some last minute changes.

I told you, at the beginning, I had remember the point of why I started this at the first place, and its for my family, my brothers; Fran, Cristian, Angelots, Felipe, Tomas, Lolo. This makes me feel closer to you, so I dedicate my work to all of you. Miss you and I wish I could be at two places at a time to be part of all the important things you are going through.

And you traveler, I wish all the best in your journey.
