here we go on a new adventure!!!

I have always wanted to see the world and meet the people populating in it, and so far, i think i have made a excellent use of my 33 years on this watery marble we all call home. I chose diplomacy as a vehicle that would take me out of lovely, yet limited, Nicaragua and kazaam! i have been a constant traveler for this last decade. All was cool and clear, at least in my wish list, but from November last year i started having a number of situations that have come to change my paradigm.

First and foremost, i had a chance encounter with love and when I say "chance encounter" is because i was not looking for love, or expecting it to come anytime soon; I was happy meeting new people in this vibrant and challenging city and love came to me out of nowhere, kind of like a hit and run, with the beautiful difference that the two parties involved have decided to stay together.

The second situation was a conversation with my parents, well conversation is a small euphemism, it has been more like an ongoing dialogue that have bridge some differences clearing the air in a relation that was beginning to look like a stage act. I do not know if i will be able or willing to be a parent someday, but if i do, just like my parents did, i would tell my hypothetical offspring that you can always do better in any aspect of your life because its your universal god given right.

The third issue is simple, "I started hating my job" it became too predictable, monotonous, unrewarding and uninspiring. Put all this together and mix them with 13 days to "enjoy the silence" on the coasts of Seychelles and you will be probably embarking on the same kind of adventure I am on now, "LEAVING TROPICAL DIPLOMACY" at least for a while and reinvent myself educationally and professionally.

So here I go again, I once wanted to be a diplomat, travel the world and be free, now I am free, i have travel a good chunk of the world and I am a Diplomat, it is time continue with the journey. My mom always says that crisis are important and necessary and if you don´t experience one every once in a while, you need to create them because they enhance your creativity, relaunch your surviving instincts and make you overall a stronger fish that would not be panned easily.

See you soon pips and I will keep you all posted!!!!!
