We live, then we travel. Our life is in constant motion. But the difference is in how many times we go through the same path, the routine. How conscious are we? and how curious?

The Exciting Game Of Travelling

Travelling solo can be a kind of adventure videogame but in real life. Introduction first post of Travel Like A Game

About me

Hi, my name is Felipe, aka Filip. Travelling is part of my life, but my life wasn’t all about travel. I come from a remote-narrow piece of land in South America, next to the Pacific Sea (Can you say where?). Raised in a modest family from the capital, I was a home person without outstanding talents, quite perseverant though. And over the years, I was going to Europe. I never ever had imagined that I would end up living so far away from home. And suddently I became a travel junkie. Each new place I’ve been, each new person I’ve met, each new experience I’ve lived, has been a little piece that has completed me. I believe we born incomplete, and by travelling we can find those little pieces that belong us spread around the world.

About me

Mission

Travel Like A Game is an adventure itself that is just starting, with the purpose of inspiring people to break routine and travel. Most people understand vacations as a fixed period of the year and ignore the possibilities that have at their fingertips. I will be talking about my own experience of travelling every month, having a 9-5 job. I will be providing some insightful information, tips and references about travel destinations, plans and guides in Europe, but also in other continents I’ve had the chance to visit. Sometimes we just need a little boost to make things work in a different way. Then, let me know if, in the end, you get some inspiration 😉

This was the start of my point of no return. A little over 12 years ago, I was one of the millions of Chileans that aren't happy with the system today. I was living my day to day until I got an opportunity I wouldn't let out.
_
I wasn't an adventurous person, I actually was apathetic and unexcited. My motivation, in general, was low at that time, but suddenly I got an opportunity to study abroad for 4 months.
_
I didn't have enough money to make it, the scholarship barely covered the flight tickets, but I was so fortunate that I got support to make it.
_
And I landed to Spain in October 2007.
And the apathetic guy became another person. 4 months turned into a year. And a year became a stay until the present in Europe.
_
And why do I never came back to live in Chile? The answer is what is happening in Chile today. I held on to any minimal opportunity to keep the dream real, alive: better life quality.
_
I wish with this revolution, Chile can become a place where we don't have to wish to be far away from home to have a better future.
_
Today if I was there, I would be marching with you.

From the creators of "How to take pictures travelling solo" here we bring "how to ask a bug to take picture from you" 🐛😜 📸 .
_
I visited this place after the wedding I went the past September (the one I went without accommodation, do you remember?).
_
So after getting up, I had to get ready to return to Napoli, but I had some time to walk and explore Paestum, which has an archaeological site.
_
I never imagined I would see again a similar building to the Athenian Parthenon and in this quality condition!. Paestum, a long time ago, was an ascient Greek city, originally called Poseidonia. It's famous for its three doric order temples dated from 600-450 BC, which are among the best well-preserved in the world.

Almost one year ago I made my best short solo trip so far...
_
In that precise moment, about 7:00am I was receiving the new day watching the sunrise at the sand dunes of #ErgChebbi 🏜
_
I didn't post much about it, again for lack of time, but certainly this trip brought the interest and curiosity of lot of people that wrote me to ask about it:
_
- Where did you go?
- How did you make it?
- How did you reach the desert?
- What tour did you take?
- Where did you stay?
_
All these questions will be answered in my next blog post, where I describe with detail about this experience and how you can make it by yourself. It will be online very soon!
_
Are you a tour guide in #ErgChebbi #Merzouga? Let me know. Or are you looking for a totally different destination? This experience will blow your mind 🤯😍.

May 2017: was my first time travelling for work to the US, in Boston. In that opportunity, before to return to the UK, I went to visit NYC for 5 days.
_
September 2019: it's my fifth time in Boston, but first time I have to stay 2 weeks in a row. So I had a chance to explore somewhere during the weekend. And why not NYC again?. But this time I just would have 24 hours...
_
One of the things that surprise me the most from NYC is that although doesn't look like it can grow more, there is still more room for more new architecture and skyscrapers, and if you love art and architecture, NYC is like a buffet of delicacies.
_
At the time I came to NYC for the first time, this building called #TheVessel didn't exist yet (it was finished in March 2019).
_
24 hours in NYC, it's almost nothing... But, if life finished tomorrow, I would be happy that I lived it to the fullest. Isn't it?
🗽🎉🕺🏼🤘🏼

Some of you might we wondering, where is Filip? Filip right now is in Boston for work, busy as f*. But Filip also is reducing his time in social media.
_
To be honest, I had fallen in the social media game, what they want we do: spending lot of time on it. Social media provides immediate "rewards" — in the form of attention from your network —
_
According to an article by Harvard University researcher Trevor Haynes, when you get a social media notification, your brain sends a chemical messenger called dopamine along a reward pathway, which makes you feel good. Dopamine is associated with food, exercise, love, sex, gambling, drugs … and now, social media.
_
I had realized about that a while ago and I turned off all my notifications both in Facebook and Instagram to avoid getting distracted.
_
However later, I heard that the algorithm was changed that my content was seen I had to be more active... Social media are kind of devil. Suddenly I realized that I was spending too much time in something that doesn't give me enough rewards.
_
But I'm still here, I also like to keep in touch with you, sharing experiences and our mutual love for freedom and travel 🌴 🌴 🌴
_
Very soon is coming my next blog post, finally! A travel guide to visit... You will know soon. See you soon folks! And don't forget give me some dopamine! 😂😜

I really like this picture because reminds me my best memories of Santorini. Had the chance of swimming in the bluest and cleanest waters I've seen so far. The contact with nature connects with the soul.
_
But also I like this picture because looks like a fantasy. I see something in the bubbles combined with darkest side of it... but also the colors, the light and the "mystery" of the subject. What do you think?
_
There may be new worlds to discover, keep curious 🌌
