My travel project “Good Things Everywhere” was the single most enriching life event I can remember, a real game changer… 2 years of non-stop travel, experiences, people, countries, languages, interesting work and challenging situations. I say ‘was’, because now it changed into something else, the…
Wow, it’s been a crazy few month! I only left South America in June and am back to Chile since late August, after my tourist visa in Brazil expired and I was forced to exit. Until June I bartered with the startup NuMundo near Valparaíso in Chile, and then left for Europe. With plans of…
In early April, I crossed Brazil and Argentina and arrived in Santiago de Chile, after almost 5 month in Brazil, living and working at the eco-village Piracanga in Bahia. I had heard about Project Nuevo Mundo, now suitably rebranded to NuMundo, while volunteering at Boom…
