A time of self reflection The world has changed and we must contemplate why this is happening, how we arrived here and what we can learn from this to move forward. Thanks for taking us into this world of yours. Very nice. We are one world and need to care for and protect one another. All of us world travelers realize how small this world is and the impact each of us makes on the other. Bravo on creating something new in your world with your English lessons.
A time of self reflection Indeed. it´s one but a small world as the song goes and yes, the teachings left by this situation will shape the world; as you say, helping and protecting each other will generate that impact. You couldn't have put it better, thanks for reading and commenting so nicely and a big hug!!!
Change Hi Frank. I enjoyed this post, and agree with your sentiments. Despite it being a difficult and trying time, there's absolutely no use fighting and worrying about things beyond our control - a very lovely 'glass half full' view of the world. Hope your English classes are going well, and please tell your parents that they have a lovely garden and gorgeous pets... especially Tony (and you already know that I think Pepetom is a cutie) :)
Change You've put it very nicely, indeed. lots of things to learn. Hehehehe, yes, those pets are the babies of the family, I will tell my parents, thanks for reading the entry and what a nice comment.
Personal responsibility -v- reckless indifference We are half a World apart Frank...you in Colombia me in Australia but this pandemic has us all contemplating so similarly. I share so many of your thoughts. Do we follow safeguards or do we exercise reckless indifference for the health of ourselves and others? I am a firm believer that we must do all we can not to be the One...the One who infects another or is infected by others...I do not want to be the One. We are fortunate in Australia that most agree and our infection and death rates are remarkably low. Our infection clusters have been usually from one infected person who has not followed safeguards. While the health of our nation has been a priority our economy is smashed. Therefore whether we like it or not we need to continue with self responsibility or the virus will win. I share and am encouraged by your words "This will pass for sure, therefore, let's take a moment to be thankful for having the chance to challenge ourselves to find new skills and become better human beings." Thank you for your excellent reflections Frank. We may be half a World apart but we TBers share the same thoughts and considerations. It is how we respond to the virus that determines our future. My mantra that I do not want to be the One is serving me just fine. Keep smiling, strong and well in confidence no matter how far or how long this lasts we will emerge to be OK. I raise my glass to you in the ether and wish your family and you continue to be upbeat and well.
Personal responsibility -v- reckless indifference WOw, thanks, Dave, I am touched by your wise reassuring words. Glad that Australia has not experienced the same fatality rates as others and that you continue being so responsible prioritising health over other things. I hesitated to write this entry as it was only about a travel inside myself during this pandemic, but thanks to Travelblog for lending us this space to self reflect on all this. It is like talking to good friends as one lets off some steam in the process, glad to belong to this travelblog club. Please, take care of yourself so that you can enlighten us with more trips and stories. My family says hello, big hug!!

Backpacking My very dear Sandra, thanks for your lovely words. While there is life, I guess we have to make the best of it. By the way, I remember we were talking about going to Leticia together, let's see if one day we can do it, it will be a pleasure to travel with you, I long for our long conversations, hehehehehehe. Big hug.
Mil felicitaciones señor aventurero!!! Estoy feliz de sus aventuras, se ve que la ha pasado súper y que disfruta mucho la estadía en cada lugar. Mil felicitaciones y deseo que siga con ese espíritu tan aventurero.
Mil felicitaciones señor aventurero!!! Mi Dilmis, yes, Esos viajes me cargan de energía pues siempre me gusta llegar a lugares que no conozco y enterarme de las costumbres que me hacen cada vez, admirar la creación y otras culturas. A ver cuando hacemos un viaje juntos, te animas? Un abrazote y recuerda la conversación pendiente.
Maravillosa Aventura Hola, Ingrid, gracias, de verdad, qué bueno tenerte por aquí y espero ver fotos tuyas de por allá de las extranjas. Pues si, las ganas de viajar nunca se pierden y todavía hay adrenalina en este casi-cincuentón para aventurar en otras destinaciones, me falta Chile, Argentina, espero poder hacerlo. No olvido mi Cravo bello, un abrazo.

Hi all!
Well, after so many seconds, minutes, hours, months and years of procrastination...-but highly encouraged by a most beloved friend-, I have finally got round to creating my own blog. Wow, I can't believe I'm actually doing it this time! It will be a nice opportunity to get in touch with so many friends that I've luckily gained in my entire '21' years' existence (we all know that's a lie but somehow it makes me feel younger, never you mind, sorry:); I'll be able to share some of the most precious memories of my travel as well as my day-to-day adventures. Let's just hope that my s... full info
