CorujaOnTheRoad - Because you can work a lot and also have a lot of fun

Today I decided to start my new blog called CorujaOnTheRoad. I am always dreaming about spending my time writing this blog.

The big problem: I do not have time to write a blog about it. But I promise I will find time to do it, like today. I am now in the airplane going from Sao Paulo City(The Big Apple in South America) to Brasilia (The Capital of Brazil), so it is an excellent place to start my new blog.

The main goal of this blog is to tell the world about my experiences around the world.

I can say I am a really blessed guy. I have a wonderful family. I love my parents, my brother, my sister and I am completely in love for my wife.

During my life I have had so many great opportunities that makes me to be thankful everyday and every time.

I am a normal guy I work a lot, I live in Sao Paulo, I go to church, I am married, I am thinking about having children and I already traveled a lot, at least to me it seems a lot of trips.

Usually I travel for reasons like: Business, Vacations and Studies. I love to travel. It makes me so happy, but the best trips are always when you are on vacations with your family.

I often have fun during my business trips and I take advantage of the moment and I usually I like to visit a new restaurant, visit new places and the best thing I always make new friends.

So, today I made I goal: I will tell my experiences in this blog. I will give tips, talk about Hotel, places, post some videos and photos. I will write this blog in English, so more people could read it.

I am Brazilian/Spanish, so I will probably make some mistakes with my English. I learned English in Brazil, then I lived 2 years with Americans in the South of Brazil during the period I was a LDS Missionary and then I lived two months in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

I was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil and because my mom and my grand parents are from Spain I have double citizenship. I already went to Spain three times until now. In total I lived 6 months in Spain in three cities (Madrid, Zaragoza and Vigo). I can speak Spanish because I studied Spanish in "Universidad de Zaragoza" and Enforex (Madrid) and I because until now I speak Spanish with my mom, grandparents, family in Spain, business partners in Spain and clients in South America and Spain.

I want to learn more languages, when you learn languages you learn about countries, people and you learn about yourself.

I am now 27 years old and until now I already visit 12 countries and 120 cities around the world, but I want to visit more places, I still have a lot of years during my life. This blog is just starting...

I will start writing about my trips I will use free time like when I am in the Hotel alone, in the airplane, in the airport, etc.

In this blog you will find:
- Restaurants;
- Hotels;
- Airports;
- Cities;
- Countries;
- Tips;
- Photos;
- Videos;

So, please do not think I am spending my own money in all this trips. A lot of time I am not, So I am not rich, I am just lucky because most of times I am mixing business with fun and trips.

Today, I am an Open Source Business Intelligent Specialist working at IT4biz IT Solutions, a company based in Sao Paulo. We are pioneer in the use of Pentaho, the best business intelligence open source tool. Because my job I usually travel to teach companies and help them with Pentaho, Business Intelligence, Data Warehouse and Open Source Solutions.

I also surf, play soccer, play tennis, play PS3 and a lot of others sports and activities.
