I love exchange ideas and meet new cultures, my purpose is getting the real knowledge and be prepared for the future, I want to give my best to the society

In my opinion, Travel is enjoy our world, be proud of the cultures, diversity, learn about other feeling, listen the people, analise, compare and...respect.
Travel is move around, sometimes relax, sometimes active, Travel is negotiation with other, to enjoy comunications and learn other languajes, words, signs and faces.
Travel is making pictures, with a camera or with your mind, to remember and save impressions.
Travel is go first time and...the second time, to go deeper. Also is sharing experiences with others, listen and appreciate other's travel.
