Intro

For some time now, I wanted to create a blog where I can write about my interests and life trials and tribulations, and at the same time, record some of the more memorable adventures that I have previously embarked on, and those that I’ve yet to experience.

I am in my late 30s, a man who has always enjoyed spending time outside and in nature, either playing sports like soccer, and baseball, or surfing, one of my life passions that I still enjoy doing today, whenever I get the chance. I try to stay physically active, and in shape, by eating right, and going back to the gym whenever my body starts suggesting that it is time to go back. LOL.

I’ve had the opportunity to travel to many countries mostly for work, but also for pleasure. The majority of international travel has been in the Americas, and I have been to Canada, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, my native country: Mexico, and many of its states, Costa Rica, EL Salvador, Panama, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil. I have also been to many states in the Continental US.

Some of my favorite places to visit include and in no particular order: Baja, anywhere along Mexico’s Pacific Coast, Central California, west of hwy 101.

My philosophy has been that adventure and exploration does not have to involve getting on a place and crossing time zones, but rather it is a state of mind, and all it takes sometimes is a vehicle with enough versatility to get you to places off the beaten path.

For me that vehicle happens to be an expedition modified, 4WD 1997 Toyota, Land Cruiser, affectionately nick named “La Mula” (the mule.)
