The Beginning Of My Passion

Hello! For the past two years, I’ve been contemplating starting a travel blog. My drive comes from how I enjoy planning my trips meticulously. Making the best travel itineraries and seeing the benefits it can bring to others. The hard part will be going from ink and paper to digital itineraries. I’m old fashioned in that sense, always with my notebook to organise each trip.

I also got a drone almost a year and a half ago, and I love using it during my adventures. So, I’ve been learning about editing, and I’m going to be sharing lots of pictures and videos. Offering different perspectives of well-known and sometimes unknown beautiful places.
All of my drone shots have a watermark of my travel instagram name, which is Matenu. You can go and check it out.

My Main Goal

My primary objective is to sustain my lifestyle by sharing personal experiences and helping fellow travelers in organizing their adventures or overcoming apprehensions about long-term travel by making the best travel itineraries.

I’ve always enjoyed organizing things, especially planning detailed trips. It takes a lot of time and can be stressful, but that’s where I come in to help!
Taking advantage of my knowledge through this years I’ll make your journeys a lot easier.

Firstly, there’s the satisfaction derived from the organization itself, despite the hours invested and occasional stress, particularly during extensive journeys. (It might be a OCD)

While I’m not insistent on adherence to every detail of the itinerary. I’ve noticed that those who travel with me often adopt its structure almost as a guiding principle, a testament to its effectiveness.

My girlfriend has a love-hate relationship with my organizational tendencies. While she appreciates my drive to maximize our time in each destination, she’s not always thrilled about the early wake-up calls and ambitious itineraries.

I’m the type to seize every opportunity, whether it’s embarking on a dawn trek to the heart of an active volcano or catching a sunrise over the world’s largest Buddhist temple after a lengthy train journey.

While she might prefer lounging on a beach with a margarita drink in hand. I believe that true travel experiences are forged through motion and exploration. It’s about embracing the unexpected and immersing ourselves fully in the adventure.

We spend 4 months in South East Asia and it took me almost 2 weeks to finish the itinerary of those 4 months.

Following The Itinerary

The most important thing about having an itinerary has to be the idea of possible change, try to go with the flow, but you have to contemplate the flow in advance, even though that sound crazy. I always imagine myself in a place and of what I research of it I can imagine if I would like to stay there longer, so have the chance to stay longer.

After 6 years of globetrotting, even more if I count my travels when I was living in Argentina, I’ve refined my organizational skills. Whether traveling solo, with my partner, or in a group of four to ten, I’ve got it covered.

That’s why organization will play a big role in my blog. I also plan to share my experiences with Working Holiday Visas—I’ve already done four in Germany, New Zealand, Australia, and Hungary. From the step-by-step process of settling into a new place for a few months to a year, I’ll cover it all.

For me, life is all about movement. This kind of ‘crazy’ lifestyle is what I thrive on. There’s nothing like the thrill of going to a new place, surrounded by new faces.

I hope this glimpse into my world and future posts resonates with you, and together, we can build a vibrant community.
