HispanicYob's VirtualTourist Home Page

Hey there, and welcome to my VT page. I'm just a simple guy with simple ambitions in life, there's still so much to offer and I haven't discovered nearly everything there is too know yet.

During my time working with Norwegian Cruise Line, I've got to meet so many people and see so many places. I can safely say 2006 was THE year of travelling for me. Some of the great places I've been to are Mexico, Jamaica, Honduras, Grand Cayman, Puerto Rico, Tortola, Alaska and Canada, too name a few. And who knows what the future holds for me? I'm excited at the prospect.

I believe that despite the mixes of society, the world offers TONS of cool people and of course places to see. I love all nationalities, and I hate the stereotypes some of them receive, when they're just as normal as any other decent human being. ^_^ With all the kind and nice people out there, I hope we can unite freely one day.

I cherish the family and friends I have, even if they don't know it. I even feel a bit of saudade (the Brazilian term for longing) over the good old days spent with all my friends, whether it be movies, hanging out, playing video games, etc. I miss them as we're all so busy now and have lives. But I'm thankful for the new friends I meet and experience as well. It's always great to experience any form of friendship, I say if you've gone through life without at least a couple of good friends, then it's a bleak life indeed.

I hate taking pictures of myself sometimes heh. I'd rather snap the world around me or friends than myself. This pic isn't the best of quality and doesn't say a whole lot about me, mellow, easy-going, loves to hang out kind of guy who loves a good time and absorbing the most of life.

Cheers to all my peeps around the world, and here's to new trials and fun ahead!

There's still so many people in life who are so shallow-minded at times. They ask me "why do you like traveling so much when you can stay at home"? It kind of pisses me off to an extent. But meh, whatever.

I tell them.....well....life is short. And since I'm still young (for the time being) and carefree, I wanna fufill these things before I get to old or before I have a family of my own one day that'll bog me down.

Simpatico (spanish for nice) is a necessary quality that should be cherished. In fact, you have to be an ass not to crack a laugh. I make it a point to be as friendly as I can. Friendship is an awesome thing and I'm greatful for all my friends I have here at home and now beyond. As I've mentioned before, next to family, friends are another important thing in my life.

In my travels it's always a benefit to make new friends if I can. On the cruise ships I've made quite a bit of international friendships which, thanks to Facebook, I still keep in touch with.
