¡Buenas! Soy Adrián.
Viajo porque hay muchas cosas por aprender y no quiero perdérmelas.
En 2016 recorrí Sudamérica en kombi con amigos durante un año, lo que cambió mi forma de ver el mundo.
Desde entonces, me dediqué a vivir experiencias en diferentes culturas, buscando aprender de los distintos habitantes de este mundo, y acercarme -por qué no- a responder alguna de las preguntas que llevo conmigo:
¿Qué hacemos acá? y ¿qué hay que hacer? como preguntas existenciales.
Guardo en mis memorias lugares, pero sobre todas las personas que hacen de la esencia de los mismos.
Paso mi tiempo entre mi país (Uruguay) y los lugares donde puedo ir sustentándome en el camino, para poder viajar de la manera que me gusta, lento. Esa forma de movimiento me permite adentrarme en las culturas y conocer la gente local.
Desde hace cuatro años adopté el veganismo como filosofía de vida, entendiendo que el mundo es un lugar más justo si evitamos el sufrimiento de las otras especies, por mero placer. Es además, una forma de reducir el impacto ambiental que provocamos.
Algunas veces viajo en bicicleta, como forma de promover su uso y los beneficios que conlleva.
Estudié comunicación. Estoy intentando usar los conocimientos y herramientas que tenemos hoy en día, para compartir historias de gente común.

Hi! I'm Adrián.
I travel because there are many things to learn and I don't want to miss them.
In 2016 I toured South America in a kombi with friends for a year, and that changed my way of seeing the world.
Since then, I have dedicated myself to living experiences in different cultures, seeking to learn from the different inhabitants of this world, and getting closer -why not- to answering some of the questions that I carry with me:
What are we doing here? and what is there to do? As existential questions.
I keep places in my memories, but above all people who make up their essence.
I spend my time between my country (Uruguay) and the places where I can go sustaining myself along the way, so I can travel the way I like, slow. This form of movement allows me to delve into cultures and meet local people.
Four years ago i adopted veganism as a philosophy of life, understanding that the world is a fairer place if we avoid the suffering of other species, for mere pleasure. It is also a way to mitigate the environmental impact that we cause.
Sometimes I travel by bicycle, as a way to promote its use and the benefits it entails.
I studied communication. I'm trying to use the knowledge and tools that we have today, to share stories of ordinary people.Interests

Me gusta estar dispuesto a trabajar. Naturalmente, hay muchas cosas que no sé hacer, pero me interesa aprender y ser capaz de hacerla por mi mismo.
Durante la temporada de playa, suelo trabajar como recepcionista en un hostel en la costa de Uruguay. Alguna temporada he estado en la limpieza, el orden y colaborando en la cocina, además de atender las necesidades de los clientes.
En fincas, he trabajado como jardinero, y he estado en varias oportunidades trabajando en una huerta orgánica en el País Vasco, así como también en California.
Soy periodista free lance, actualmente creando contenido para contar historias.

I like to be willing to work. Naturally, there are many things that I don't know how to do, but I am interested in learning and being able to do it myself.
During the beach season, I usually work as a receptionist in a hostel on the Uruguayan coast. For some time I have been cleaning, tidying up and collaborating in the kitchen, as well as attending to the needs of customers.
On farms, I have worked as a gardener, and I have been on several occasions working in an organic garden in the Basque Country, as well as in California.
I am a freelance journalist, currently creating content to tell stories.Age
