EXPLORATION // SOLO TRAVEL

Trains, Planes, Gardens, Museums, Seas
Germany > Denmark > France > Spain > New York > Los Angeles
My first trip to Europe was ignited by my longtime friend’s wedding in Germany. It carried on with a visit to my cousin Agustín and Angie, his fiance who both moved from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Copenhagen, Denmark. Their perspective on the local cultural systems, the incredibly beautiful gardens & architecture and their city lifestyle completely fascinate me. I traveled alone through France, giving me plenty of time to draw, paint, visit and learn more about Henri Matisse, visited local outdoor markets, float in the sea, and observe how people treat each other. I traveled along the Côte d’Azur by train from Nice to Marseilles to Barcelona. All three beautiful places, but Barcelona was by far my favorite. The food, the people, the architecture and the artwork are unforgettable. The way back to the USA began with a trip to New York where I stayed with some lovely people in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The businesses and vibe reminded me of living by Melrose Avenue. New York has some of my favorite people, and I was lucky enough to visit them and see a glimpse of their lives. Good to see we’re all still growing.
These adventures are explored deeper in my first zine, “Exploration."

When Vanity Takes Over Sanity, we lose what could have been a great, change-making mind. The external world has then succeeded in removing internal growth, the most important part of human evolution.
