In my blog I don´t go deep on historical / geographical information about the places I visit as this information can be found abundantly in the net. I prefer to describe my experiences and to share what can be useful information for others who want to visit the same places and to do the same things. I travel independently and always feel such "dislike" for organized tours. Wherever I go, I always try to get information by myself and I travel in the most economical manner I can.
Cuando viajo no sólo me interesan los lugares turisticamente conocidos sino también aquellos rinconcitos donde el fenómeno "turismo" aún no ha llegado y permite ver una cultura más auténtica. El compartir palabras, espacio y situaciones con los nativos del lugar en cuestión me parece indispensable para hacer de mi viaje una verdadera aventura. Por esa razón me empeño en estudiar algunos idiomas principales. Creo que es esencial para un verdadero viajero el tener al menos conocimiento básico de algunos idiomas. Prefiero tomarme el metro, bus urbano o vehículo que los nativos utilicen comunmente a tomarme un taxi o bus turístico.
When I travel, I don´t have only interest in tourist/known places but also those corners of the world where the phenomenon "tourism" has not yet come and lets us see a more authentic culture. To share some words, space and situations with the natives seems to me indispensable for making my trip a real adventure. That is why I am trying to learn some main languages. I think it is very essential for a real traveller to have some knowledge about languages. I prefer to take the subway, bus or vehicles that natives commonly use everyday than to take a taxi or a tourist bus.
