Hollidays
Most people crave for holidays.
Never really understood holidays.
In general I dislike holidays.
Except for crazy countries, animals and warm waters, I like to stay home.
The world is in my PC, hourly.
I like my days.
I like the sound of the words and the power of text.
I dont have to go to Manchuria to know the place.
Books, radio, internet and newspapers provide me a first class ticket to everywhere. In an absolute confort without incurring in the dangers of flying. Like Jules Verne.
Most entrepreneurs I know dislike travel.
When travelling they sniff around.
Creative ideas, new businesses, learning the most in the shortest time.
The reson?
Well, basically, they enjoy pretty much their lives. And it is not for changing country that they change their minds.
That, they do it daily, in their home country.
So, DONT TRAVEL.

Travel: a never ceasing source of energy. The joy of discovering new places, meeting new people, learning new ways, experiencing a different culture. When passing the airport, I can feel the lure of the place: a gateway to the unknown, just a ticket away.
Disembarking the plane, your skin reacts to the heat, cold or damp that is unfamiliar to your system. The smell of a new world comes upon you. The taste of new food, the sounds of the street and the music. New faces and fashion, seeing uglyness bordering on beauty and vice versa. You try to master a few words in a strange language, and then feel the euforia when you manage to convey a message or read the signs. The unexpected encounter. All these sensations make traveling enthralling. It allows you to relax, while sharpening your senses. According your wish, it enables you to leave your day to day world behind, or to enlarge it. It also allows you to enlarge your mind, in a non-rational way. Experiencing new cultures makes you less stringent about the way you see the world and the ways of the people that live in it.
While "to google" has deservedly become a verb in many of the world's languages, the computer can never be a substitute to travel. Simply because there is more to travel than just meets the eye...
