"Bienvenidos Welcome" elpariente's Profile
Now is the time of travelling , for pleasure , after many years moving around the world , mainly for work and business .
In 2005 , we decided dedicate part of our "free" time , to make a long travel per year , so we may spend some time with the first stage : The Virtual Travel" , where we are navigating in the web , contacting people and supported by VT and their members to dream with our next travel .
This stage has the advantage that there is not bad weather , rain , flies , difficult moments...
Then comes : The Real Travel , when you visit the different countries , meeting people , surprised with the landscapes , buildings , monuments...and having the feeling of being very far away from home , in the middle of nowhere , in places that you may not visit again or that you could decide to stay for ever
Back at home you start The Memory Travel , where you forget all the possible inconveniences and the uncomfortable moments and start to play with tour photos , your notes and the memories , that will last for ever
Luckily each person has a different way to enjoy his travel , somebody likes to go free , others prefer some thing organized , luxury hotels or backpackers hostels , public transport or private drivers ...but at the end of the day , we all have the opportunity of "travelling" and visiting different countries , meeting people , discovering cultures and enjoy our Great World that with the new technologies and actual transports is not so big
The countries we have visited lately are :
2005 Laos , Vietnam , Cambodia , Thailand , Burma
2006 Peru , Bolivia , Chile , Argentina
2007 China
2oo8 Italy , Australia , New Zealand
If you need any information about this countries , we can share our limited experiences with you if you need them
Ahora es el momento de viajar, por placer, después de muchos años moviéndonos por todo el mundo, principalmente para motivos de trabajo .
En 2005, nos decidimos dedicar parte de nuestro "libre" , a hacer un largo viaje por año, por eso podemos dedicar bastante tiempo a la que consideramos la primera etapa: "El viaje virtual ", donde empezamos a navegar en la web, a ponernos en contacto con personas y con el apoyo de VT y sus miembros y nos dedicamos a soñar con nuestro próximo viaje.
( Esta etapa tiene la ventaja de que no hay mal tiempo, lluvia, moscas, momentos difíciles ... )
Luego viene: " El Viaje Real " , cuando visitamos los diferentes países, conocemos gente, nos sorprendemos con los paisajes, edificios, monumentos ... y sentimos estar muy lejos de casa, en medio de la nada, en lugares que quzá no poremos visitar de nuevo o que tal vez podríamos decidir permanecer allí para siempre
De vuelta en casa empieza " El Viaje del Recuerdo ", cuando se olvidan todos los posibles inconvenientes del viaje y los momentos incómodos y se empieza a enredar con las fotos del viaje, las notas y los recuerdos, que afotunadamente nos durarán para siempre
Por suerte, cada persona tiene una forma diferente de disfrutar " su viaje " , a algunos les gusta ir por libre , otros prefieren algo muy organizado, hoteles de lujo o albergues para mochileros, el transporte público o conductores privados ... pero al final , todos tenemos la oportunidad de "viajar" y visitar diferentes países, conocer gente, descubrir culturas y disfrutar de nuestro Gran Mundo , que con las nuevas tecnologías y transportes actuales ya no parece tan grande
Los países que hemos visitado últimamente son:
2005 Laos, Vietnam, Camboya, Tailandia, Birmania
2006 Perú, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina
2007 China
2oo8 Italia, Australia, Nueva Zelanda
Si necesitas cualquier información acerca de estos países o de España , podemos compartir con vosotros nuestras (limitadas)experiencias si os hacen falta
