Since I’m a little girl, as far as I can remember, I always wanted to travel. I wanted to go far far away and explore the world. I remember getting a group of friends and convinced them to travel in a hot air balloon (that, is still on my list), leaving our parents behind. To be fair, I was 4 and I think I saw it in a cartoon or something, but for me it was going to be the biggest adventure. Even nowadays, my friends remember this, and one of them confessed to me, not that long ago, that he use to cry because he didn’t want to leave his mum and dad.
But growing up, travel wasn’t that easy. I was born in Argentina, I come from a middle class family and I’ve got 2 sisters, so travelling was something expensive that we couldn’t afford. But my parents worked really hard and they tried their best, and they started taking us on holiday to places in Argentina, just for a few days, but that was more than enough. Until one day, when I was 11 we finally went away (ok we went to Uruguay a couple of times). They took us to the USA and Mexico, the first big trip, it was awesome.
After that we went back to normal life until I graduated school and I went backpacking through Europe for a month with my aunt Silvia. That trip change my life, first thing I told my mum when I got off the plane was, “Next time I’m going for longer”.
And I did, I studied hard, finished uni, worked a lot, saved as much money as I could and left.
So this is going to be my story, I’m going to try to tell you everything that I know and that I’ve learnt, the good and the bad, give you some advice and show you all this amazing places that you’ve got out there.
My name is Jimena, I’m 26 years old, I’ve travelled 21 countries (about to go visit two more in the next couple of months), I’ve visited over 90 cities, 4 continents and there’s no one to stop me now. This is my journey, jump in, join me .
