In an effort to keep track of the epic places and take the memories with me, I have started this Color & Track Travels Collection! Be creative and use each piece with purpose….Use permanent markers to color & track the countries you’ve visited!

About the blog

About the blog

From my passion for traveling, photography, and sharing experiences, Inhale Explore was born on Instagram. I started to write short stories that would fit the caption space and were short enough to make people breathe again and wander some!

A narrative with original photographs to awake senses — filled with drama, cultural shocks, hilarious “I can’t-believe this happened to me” (a lot of these) as well as serendipity, food, joy and transcendence.

Follow along, I have so much to tell you…INHALE, EXPLORE!

It’s not so much an addiction or a whim to travel.
As it is the distance and the unknown that makes it a commitment to transformation that I enjoy.

Japan, the place of the rising sun | Japón, el lugar del sol naciente

Japan it’s a country I had for years dreamed about and can confess today ranks high on my list! The architecture is forward-looking, but always in harmony with the natural surroundings.A principle also present in its culture. Its structured around black and white norms, but the purpose is to meet harmony. Harmony is the #1 priority for social behavior – taking priority over frankness and honesty even. So personal space, respect for others and rules are just a way to keep…yes, harmony. . Is quite astonishing that the streets are pristine, yet …

How the hell did I end up here? | ¿Cómo diablos terminé aquí?

You look around and don’t fully recognise the landscape around you or your place in it. And think, “How the hell did I end up here?” Well, thats the kind of revelation I got after I explored the famous Gangnam area in Seoul. Tall buildings, lights, colors and fancy cars…what I expected. But, I also got to end my day barefoot in front of a 23 meters tall statue in a beautiful floral courtyard! A magical place that hides tranquility and peace right in the middle of the city. This …

About this Korean Couple |Sobre esta pareja Coreana

Right on this park, an older Korean couple was picnicking overlooking the city. They were amazed by a little black & white rabbit that was running from side to side. We were also curious about him, so we got closer. At that point, the older man asked me in broken english: “How old you?” A question that could be offensive from where I come from but I kept it cool; I respect my elders and loved the fact that he was like 90 and was trying to speak in english; …

Korea’s street Food| Comida callejera en Corea del Sur

If you think I’m passionate about traveling, you wouldn’t believe how I loove food.I’ve always said that food is the most fun and delicious way to learn about a country’s culture. I found Korea to be very different from the rest of the Asian countries I’ve visited. The people are more like south americans. Very social, warm and everything revolves around food…AND Soju. A clear colorless distilled beverage that alcohol content varies from about 16 % to 53% . Yeah, it’s like vodka but they drink it like beer! It’s common to see them in …
