Why I wanted to settle? Because I knew money was running through the sew and I would need more sooner or later. And actually I didn’t have a plan, so I had to made one for myself. Then I wanted to look for a job and “settle”. What a joke of plan. Then I found a job. But my internal adventurer spirit didn’t want to let me alone. I asked for permission in my crappy job and fled to Portugal to solve some things for almost two months, went back, stayed one more month in the bloody job I used to have and then quit.

If you sum all of my flights, short and long stays, you’ll find out that I am a kind of heroo. When you let go the fear of owning a life (that actually owns you with all its material world), then you are free to do whatever you want. When fear’s gone, your options are infinite. And when you have options, you don’t have fear. It’s a really good spiral to enlightenment.

But, I don’t really consider myself like a hero. The reason? I’m not one for the simple reason that I haven’t made something worthy in the last six months -anything that I would have loved to, like learn some new skills, etc-. And besides that, I don’t have yet and automated source of money that works without me, which will make me more than a superhero. Probably the lack of focus has distracted me from a real inspiration to accomplish my mission.

A while ago, I use to talk with Gaby, a dear friend of mine, to go around the world discovering new places, people and idiosyncrasies. The way I though I was going to make a living was by selling photographs and articles. And somehow I came to do it that way. I have been doing some freelance works for Terra Colombia during 2008, as well as other publications in Latin America. But yet is not enough to live out of that.

Would I be able to do it? I’ve no idea. By the moment I am working on the automation of money, hopefully my plans will do for that matter.

But, now I know I want to do next, in 6 months from now on:
- Move to Lisbon
- To have an automated source of money
- Learn to sail
- Be able to run a marathon (hence, running one)
