I think I've been preparing this trip all my life; This or any of the hundreds of trips offered by a map hanging from anywhere. I have been surprised dozens of times over the last years imagining routes that I know how luggage to lose me again. All in order not to return home. All in order to have the tingling that creates fear and passion for the unknown.
But one day I imagined that it was possible to make a longer parenthesis. So far I've seen a lot of part-time world (Except my three -month experience in Malta, My departures add months, years ... but always with a return ticket threatening in the bedroom and a difficult equation in the middle between vacations and work). This time I decided to do something different and buy the first leg without having fixed the return. Enjoy the trip with the feeling that the wallet or desire will throw me from here (As I take the first thing, it has many ballots).
After my stay in South Africa, in which I work as a journalist (My other great passion), I will start a trip that I hope makes me cross eight countries and I left with a fool's face looking at the mountains of the moon, a Uganda. Who knows, Maybe everything changes and the route decides for itself to take me on other paths? I dream of lengthening my steps and concluding adventure in Cairo, To make a little jump and visit a friend from there, mourning, that he has also moved his comfortable chair to install his wicks from everything to a thousand in Jerusalem. Everything is possible: It will be what I decide, That is the magic of this my adventure.
And what have I discovered so far? What am I very happy? (a personal circumstance related to the people I have stumbled and the places where I look); New and fascinating landscapes? (On Wednesday I will make a five -day safari through the Kruger Park of those that when I was a child I imagined with all my desire that, unfortunately, I would never do. As true as I have visited once in my life the royal palace of Madrid: I did it with 16 years, With a guiri that took care of my sister's children, With the guide speaking in English, I, and sticking it 600 Shots per second to see if I managed to leave the fucking building and return home, that my mother was not [He told me not others 600 times]. In any country you are able to travel 200 kilometers to see the local monarch urinar); New people? (people are always, for my, The magic of a trip, Although it is not necessary to cross half the world to find it, Sometimes we have it next to).

It is true that the charm of going out is that everyone is open to knowing others and there is no one to remind us of what we think; It is true that from each new way of understanding what happens out there that you know you add a question and take away an answer). A new culture? (Differences are as notable as similarities. A part of the traveler's first surprise, I learned it on other trips, It is when one discovers that there are parabolic antennas hanging from paradise [Call Coca Cola, cinema or a dreary bar that only differs from those that alternate in Madrid in which there is no fridge or furniture). All this is part of what I have discovered and I hope to discover in what I have been traveling. Without great concepts, With the normality of those who only enjoy the steps of his feet for the pleasure of stepping on Movedizas sands. I love imagining in a truck, surrounded by people who are new to me, And camping in the middle of the Kalahari to spend the night (I will); Or see me up to a train where I am Carnaza and dollars while trying to sleep with my camera making me a pillow.
But, In these first ten weeks of stay in South Africa, what I am really discovering is that I can wait fifteen minutes to start a minibus that makes threats to leave but wait until there is no flesh without meat inside (They are business, What would the godfather say); I can live without clock (I spoiled just arriving and I decided not to buy any new. There are times when I don't know what time I move); Or that I sleep at ten o'clock at night and get up at four in the morning to smoke a cigar (I have smoked again) Looking on my terrace how time moves. Simply, I'm also discovering myself. I learn to learn that the greatest trip I will do it inside (I like).
PD. This entry is especially dedicated to Jale, a guy I discovered two years ago and to which I want (Your wades are terrible, yes). Good luck in your adventure in Jerusalem
