I have lived in seven different countries. I have traveled by myself around almost every continent. I traveled driving my own car, with a chauffeur, taking unofficial shared taxis across regions, sleeping bus, scooter, back of trucks, rickshaws, never-ending destinations trains, moto-taxi, crowded paratransit minibuses, decrepit boats, little planes... I loved and hated almost every place I stayed, and everywhere I learned about different ways to face challenges, to find new solutions to old issues. I learned about the way people live in a way that can only be learned by interacting with citizens of different cultures, citizens of the same planet.
