Benvindos!

A idéia de criar este espaço surgiu aos poucos. Nasceu da necessidade de expandir o grupo de pessoas com as quais me correspondo ou com as quais converso sobre temas de interesse em comum. Desejo que seja um lugar de troca de idéias e informações, mas , sobretudo, de boa conversa, democrática e sem preconceitos. Mais uma vez, benvindos.

I'd rather stay home

I used to travel frequently. Three or four times in a year. Not to mention the trips I undertook to nearby towns in the countryside. I really enjoyed some memorable journeys in my life. One of them, for example, when I was 20  I traveled through western Europe for 46 days with short money. 
As time went out, and I earned more money, I continue to travel as much as I could. Sometimes alone, sometimes with my youngest brother, a girlfriend or my second ex-wife. I can say I have travelled almost half of the world.


Three years ago, however, I started enjoying staying at home so much that I hardly think of going out. In fact, I don't think much about travelling anymore! Wandering around the planet is not something that attracts me for the time being. I suppose I will stay a long period of time at home, just because it is awesome. 

It is a voluntary seclusion. I have discovered so many things that please me at home like painting, drawing, writing, sleeping up late (mainly when I don't have to go to work the next day), and so on. 

Besides, going out is getting increasily expensive,  services remained at a poor level at most and outside home grew dangerous.  
Today I don't see myself going out to the cinema when I can stay home reading or playing my guitar. 
I prefer to wait until the film becomes available on the internet. I don't have to be the first to see the movie, do I ?

Possibly I may change my preferences again in the future. Or perhaps I will spend less time at home and more periods out. But, for the moment, I really appreciate staying at home !
