Going back to the office after some well deserved holidays

in #adventure6 years ago

I´m ready to hit the road!

With just a 9 kilo bag, my Steemit T-shirts and a pair of shoes who´ve been with me for years, it´s time to attack the trails.

After some resting time, this is how my life will be the next months: Moving

If you started following me recently, you probably don´t know that I spend most of my time on the road. December and January were two abnormal months of holidays for me... but now it´s time to go back to work, it´s time to hit the road.

Some people make the mistake of thinking I travel only for fun and I´m on a constant vacation, drinking mojitos on the beach while meeting cute girls everyday... but the thing is, for me traveling is my real job. I take it very seriously and I try to make the most of every minute I spent on every place. This means that I don´t sleep much while I try to visit all the cool spots everywhere; I try to do all the touristic stuff - while trying to pay like a local, or not paying at all - and I try to save money all the time.

This travel style means I don´t stay in fancy places, I don´t eat delicious and pricey food, I don´t move around in cars or shuttles, I don´t pay for guided tours etc. That´s a lot of don´t´s but I´m not trying to be negative, I love my travel style and I would never change it, this - for me - is the proper way to get in touch with the locals, their culture, traditions, the daily life in any town, normal problems people living there face etc. It is the way to be a citizen of any town you go to, it´s the small opportunity I get to experience the real vibe of any place, even if it is for just a few days.

During the next month I will be actively preparing my next big project, but while I´m doing that, I promise to bring you the best adventure posts I can, I hope you won´t be dissapointed.

I won´t be able to answer comments so often, but every night I will take at least one hour to reply and vote all the comments here - well, only the non spammy / three word comments - and I will try to keep in touch.

For now, I have to leave you with only one piece of information: Google Cañón del sumidero, Chiapas, that´s my next adventure before crossing the border into Guatemala.

Spanish version up next, so if you already read the english version, go vote this post :P

Regresando a la oficina después de unas merecidas vacaciones

Estoy listo para tomar camino!

Con solo una mochila de 9 kilos, mis playeras de Steemit y mis viejos tennis que me han acompañado por años, es hora de atacar la ruta.

Después de un buen tiempo de descanso, así es como será mi vida los siguientes meses: En movimiento

Si me comenzaste a seguir hace poco tiempo, probablemente no sabes que la mayoría de mi tiempo la paso de viaje. Diciembre y Enero fueron dos meses atípicos de vacaciones para mí... pero ahora es momento de regresar a trabajar, es hora de tomar camino.

Algunas personas cometen el error de pensar que viajo solo por diversión y que mi vida es una vacación constante, tomando mojitos en la playa y conociendo chicas lindas cada mañana... pero la realidad es que viajar es mi trabajo. Me lo tomo muy en serio e intento sacar el mayor provecho de cada minuto que paso en cualquier lugar. Esto significa que no duermo porque intento visitar todos los lugares que valen la pena de cada sitio; intento hacer todas las actividades turísticas donde sea que voy - mientras intento pagar como local, o no pagar en absoluto - e intento ahorrar dinero en todo lo que hago.

Este estilo de viaje implica que no me hospedo en lugares lindos, no como comida deliciosa y lujosa, no me muevo en auto o en transporte turístico, no pago por excursiones guiadas etc. Esos son muchos NO pero no intento ser negativo, me encanta mi estilo de viajar y nunca lo cambiaré, esta manera - para mí - es la más adecuadas para ponerte en contacto con los locales, su cultura, tradiciones, la vida normal en cualquier pueblo, los problemas diarios que la gente enfrenta etc. Es la manera ser un ciudadano de cualquier pueblo, es la pequeña oportunidad que tengo de experimentar la verdadera vibra de cualquier lugar, aunque sea solo por unos cuantos días.

Durante el próximo mes estaré activamente preparando mi próximo proyecto grande, pero mientras lo preparo, prometo seguir trayendo los mejores posts de aventura que me sean posible vivir, espero no queden decepcionados.

No podré responder a los comentario muy seguido, pero prometo cada noche tomarme al menos una hora para poder responder y votar todos los comentarios - bueno, los que sean spam / comentarios de tres palabras, No - e intentaré mantenerme en contacto.

Por ahora, tengo que dejarlos pero les dejo una pista: Googleen: Cañón del sumidero, Chiapas, esa es mi próxima aventura antes de cruzar la frontera hacia Guatemala.

Your travelling style diffrent i like your post your post is so nice thank for share this post

The points you made are why what you do is so kool my brother! I love the way you do it and the outlook you have on your travels. If I wanted all the fancy hotels and bells and whistles I'd just turn on the Travel channel! Yours is unique not in a sense of what you do but because it's you. How you do it and the principles you stick to is the icing on the cake. Always looking forward to more. Love your travels!

Exactly my friend! I´m trying to bring something different and fresh to the table, sometimes I´m able to do it, sometimes not so much but always doing my best! I´ll try to keep to my principles for as long as I can and to keep adventuring the way I do, thanks for dropping by my man.

A real nomad soul .I too hope to hit the road and see the world one day. As a photographer this has always been my dream. To travel , meet new people ,new cultures and new ways of life. I am a sucker for culture . So I definitely would want to learn more about the world. Please dont forget to post here sir. I would be following keenly. Safe travels sir!!

Hey, you could check out the tag #culturevulture. People who do posts about their own country, the traditions, culture and daily life use this tag... I guess it would be anice way to meet new cultures until you have the chance to travel around and see the world :)

Thanks for this. Definitely checking out. Hows your trip so far??

Mi estimado @anomadsoul me encanta ese estilo de vida que escogiste, veo que te hace feliz y creo que la vida se trata de eso "ser feliz". A mi me hace feliz viajar y conocer sitios, culturas y personas nuevas sólo que nos soy tan aventurera como tu 😜 y lo hago de la manera tradicional jejeje. Soy venezolana, desde hace tres años vivo en Tabasco. He oido que el Cañon del Sumidero es una belleza natural espectacular, no lo conozco aun, solo he llegado hasta Palenque, pero es algo que haré muy pronto si dios quiere. Hace poco conocí un pueblito mágico llamado Tapijulapa a lo mejor tu ya lo conoces, pero si no, te invito a mi blog para que conozcas parte de él. Te deseo lo mejor en tu aventura y estaremos esperando las maravillosas fotos.👍

De verdad que Chiapas ofrece como muchos estados de México, un sin fin de aventuras, paisajes y experiencias. No tengo el gusto de conocer Tabasco pero hoy entra a mi lista! Que bueno que aun hay gente viajera! Saludos

Be safe out there buddy, you have an admirable approach to traveling and trying to blend in with the locals, I hear sticking out like a sore thumb is kind of dangerous in some places anyway.

Always prudent, never afraid but yeah, you are right, in some places its better to hang around with a bit more cautious. Thanks for the advice and for dropping by with a comment!

Hah you're definitely way more well-traveled than me, just repeating what I've heard. Have fun out there!

love your purpose for travelling well-said @anomadsoul, am also love travelling but never really got a chance to travel out of egypt hope one day i could travel the world, I once saw you published a post talk about your trib to africa and your pic's with the children this is too kind of you I still remember this till now also remeber you cuz you once nominate my first post on steemit, i've left steemit for a while and am back agian today i've wrote post to talk about why I left steemit and why am back, glad to see you.

Well, its always about starting small... My first trip was around México, I know most of my country because I wanted to start traveling for long periods but close to home and to get to know Mexico beautyness.
Yeah, it was a town in Nicaragua called Africa haha, but it is an african colony and the physical aspects of the people there is similar to people in Africa.
I hope you don´t leave us again my friend, Steemit needs people like us to keep growing stronger.

Looking forward to hearing of your adventures! I have only been connected with you since December so i have only heard faint whispers of your life as a nomad ;) haha! so I am excited to float on with you for some of your exciting moments.. So much yes to this, it's the only way to travel for me too- so much life!

this - for me - is the proper way to get in touch with the locals, their culture, traditions, the daily life in any town, normal problems people living there face etc. It is the way to be a citizen of any town you go to, it´s the small opportunity I get to experience the real vibe of any place, even if it is for just a few days.

Safe and happy travels <3

Oh wow, now I pretty much have to post about that lifestyle more often... My followers grew around 150% in the past 3 months so a lot of them only know about the resting nomad, the nomad on the move is just a whisper as you say haha.

haha!! i'm sure the nomad in you will start to roar here pretty soon ;)

Have fun there, In fact it's the best way to know a place, it's culture and traditions :)
Would love to see those areas through your words and camera lens ;)

The travelling style you've adopted is the best. It eliminates window dressing and helps you to see the world the way it is. Please don't change this style. I love it.

Then, as usual, don't forget posting pictures because some of us here are following you from our smart phones.

I promise to post a lot of pictures and videos whenever I have the opportunity! And I promise to never never ever change the travel style :D

Wow. Wonderful promises. I trust you will keep them. Stay safe.

Since I'm one of those people that's only been following the past couple of months I'm looking forward to these updates.

Lol yeah man, the nomad you met was the resting one, now its awaken :D
