Here is my idea behind writing a blog. Basically I am living away from home and my only way to keep in touch with family and friends is though the internet... Mainly Facebook... Hip hip hooray....
I figured it would be nice to have another place where I could write a little more then a status update... A place to tell a bit more of the story behind the pictures and the brief status updates or satellite beacon check ins that say I am still alive in the middle of no where...

The hope is also that more people will comment. The idea is TWO WAY communication between family and friends.... :)
A little background about myself...
Was born in Bogota, Colombia and moved to Miami, FL with my parents and brother when I was two years old... The catch is even though I grew up mainly in Miami, I consider Colombia home... Spent most of my summers there and was brought up by my parents in a very Colombian way! I am 100% Colombian and love my country!
Between moving to Miami and leaving I went to Florida International University for Mechanical Engineering, worked in the aviation industry for a while and then bought a one way ticket to Cincinnati, OH in 2009.... The stuff in between will come across later as the blog goes on...
Mid 2010 my employee in Cincinnati approached me with the opportunity/option of taking on a totally new assignment in the Eastern hemisphere... Here I am now living on the African continent in Cairo, Egypt!
The blog is going to revolve around two topics. The past and the present... Occasionally the future... For the present ill write blurbs and post pictures... For the past ill post pictures and write about the pictures....
One of my many hobbies is taking pictures... Emphasis on taking the pictures. Mainly as a way of remembering my past adventures when I am old and suffer from CRS (Cant remember Shit)! See the thing is since 2008 till now I have taken over 70,000 pictures with my Canon 50D and the grand majority of those pictures I have not even seen, let alone processed out of RAW format.... Thats not even counting all the pictures I have taken from 2002 with my Canon G3.... So for the "past" my goal is to slowly process those pictures, post them here and write a bit about them....
Ok that's enough for now.... But first a quick warning/ill ask for forgiveness ahead of time... My writing and its style, or lack of. This is the way I write on... The... Inter.... Net... I will do my best for the spelling ;) But this is how its going to be on here.... :)
Ill get better at this blogging as things go on...
Will leave you guys with a picture of my last adventure which ill start writing about in my next post.... Till then...
