I&#8217;m a common man enjoying spending his spare time writing, traveling, blogging, researching, studying, and looking for new adventures and challenges. My blog is about <a href=\"http:\/\/scubarob.love\/how-to-learn-photography\/\">photography<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/art\/travel-literature\">traveling<\/a> since our life is a travel and each trip represents some aspects or moments of my life. I always bring with me a few items that represent my way of life (you can do the same and get them at the <a href=\"http:\/\/scubarob.love\/shop\/\">shop<\/a> or buy elsewhere). <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>As many knows, traveling fundamentally changes us and our perspective of the world, broadening our horizons and allowing to set our objectives. Indeed, new places, <a href=\"http:\/\/scubarob.love\/2016\/07\/29\/music-theory-for-lunch\/\">activities<\/a>, and people help in changing and adopting new habits. Moreover, we encounter new persons considering us for what we are at present and not for what we had been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For me, traveling became part of a therapy to overcome a car accident I&#8217;ve been involved in. Indeed, during the impact, my brain crashed back and forth inside the skull causing some bruising and tearing of nerve fibers. However, most of the damage derived from the reduction in the flow of oxygen-rich blood determined by such movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, in about one year I had recovered very well as it can be witnessed by my successful enrollment in postgraduate education. Notwithstanding, I have not stopped traveling since then, suggesting I may have developed some different problem&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>If you are interested in, I&#8217;m heterosexual, not married, and not in a relationship; furthermore, I&#8217;m not the father of recognized or unrecognized children.
