Travel and me- BBB

        I am leaving Astoria behind, I have to confess. But it is for a good reason. I am trying to find my way though this world in which I've always struggled to.
        The majority of you who knows me noticed that I've applied for the BIGGEST BADDEST BUCKET Competition. I was thrilled to receive so many votes and support. I really felt closer to realizing my dream of traveling for a living, turning my hobby into a tangible idea. Even though the battle is not over yet and the judges are still judging me, and even though I hate to use the personal pronominal I most of time, I did a list of my reasons why I should be the winner. Here you go:


REASONS WHY I SHOULD WIN THE BBB

  1.  I love adventures:  I have been in a helicopter ride, I have eating weird creatures, I have seen the ping pong show in Bangkok, I have ridden a scooter in Goa, I have taken a picture inside the Taj Mahal…
  2. I want to pursue a lifelong career in reporting and blogging, that is why I went to school for!
  3. I have traveled a lot and I want to do it for the travel experience, to see the world with my own eyes. I realized that the world is to big and to live in only one city forever is to deprive yourself of culture, it's a torture!
  4. I want to be globally and environmentally involved and inform the viewers about the importance of living green.
  5. I think it is very important to visit a country while respecting their culture and that entails adhere to the local custom by dressing respectfully when necessary, or to try speaking a few words of their language, or even buying products from the local community.
  6.  I want to produce my own videos without a producer knocking my ideas down.
  7.  I love interviewing people, meeting new characters, finding hiding local places, eating exotic  and weird food. I want to entertain and show people what travel is about!!!!
  8. I strive for a life of constant newness. I dream about  Anthony Bourdain’s life and talent!!!
  9. I don’t have the cool British accent as most of the travel host shows have, but I do have the current most desired look and accent: Brazilian.  ;)
  10. Because I am a trooper, came to NY without any English and nor money when I had just become legally independent.
  11. I want to make my mom proud for once! JJJJJJ
Why we travel? We travel to leave our ordinary lives behind and immerse in a journey of uncertainty  where anything can happen so that  we continue on to tell stories about it for the rest of our lives! I definitely love it!
