About Me

So who am I and what is this blog about?

I don’t know how anyone can answer these questions in a few sentences, but I’ll try.

My name is Jaime, and I decided to breakaway from everything and backpack the world. I’m in my mid 20′s and have lived in Houston, Texas my whole life. My passion is to explore the world; aside from some great vacations and visiting family in Mexico I haven’t seen much of it. I have been working since I was 15 and felt that I was a slave to Corporate America and needed to get out. I quit my job sold just about all my belongings and as of March 1, 2011 I left everything behind and started my two year journey around the world.

I do believe “everything happens for a reason” and know that all the choices I have made in the past have brought me to where I am today. As soon as I knew my dream of traveling the world was attainable I went for it.

With this blog I will document my questions, thoughts, tips, adventures and anything else that comes with my journey round-the-world. I want to show everyone that it is possible to breakaway!
