Most commonly asked questions about my travels...

What made you want to start traveling?

·      My life at home became a bit dull. I needed a change of environment.

How do you pay for your trips?

·        I work hard and save almost all my money.

How old are you?

·        19.

How much does it cost you to do all that?

·    I don't think thats anyone business but probably not as much as most people would think.

Why do you go to places that aren't so safe?

·        Who told you they weren't safe? Have you been there?

No, but I have read about it.

·       I don't believe everything I hear and read I guess I want to find out first hand.3

How do you get around?

·        It depends. My means of transportation range from,  mostly buses but sometime I walk, hitch-hike, take trains, cars, buses, boats, bike, helicopter, and for far distances I take a plane.

Where do you sleep?

·       Sometimes hostels, my tent, and in one occasion a cave.

What do you eat?

·       I try to go for more proteins and carbs. but it's hard when your in places where food is scarce or unsanitary.

Who do you go with?

·        Myself.

Do you make any friends?

·        Yes always, but I rarely keep in contact.

Why?

·        Because after meeting as many people as I have, you start to realize you will never see any of them again.

Doesn't it get boring alone?

·        You have to put yourself into a different mind set.

Are you ever scared?

·       Always, but this is how it works...You do what you are most afraid first then you get the courage for it after. 

Well that doesn't make much sense.

·        I know but that's the way it works...

What do your parents say?

·        My mom supports me in almost everything I do but I know that she's   always nervous and dad doesn't really like the countries I chose.

What would you say to a person who plans on backpacking the way you do?

·        Be, smart don't put yourself in situations where you think something is wrong, because chances are... there is.

Out of all the places you've been so far what's your favorite?

·        Bolivia.

Why?

·        The salt flats of Salar de Uyuni made me feel like I was on another planet, and I guess my experience there was a lot of fun.

Your least favorite?

·        New Jersey.

Do you ever plan to stop traveling?

·        That's a hard question because of course I'll always travel but not the way I do now. I want to be a home owner someday and start a family but that would be hard if I spent all my money on traveling. So sooner or later I will have to buckle down and figure out what I want to do as a career but as of now I want to get the most out of life and see as much as I can before that time comes.
