It feels like 2010 flew by. Is it a coincidence that I used the term "flying by" because I spent most of the last 365 days on the air or on my way to fly somewhere? I doubt it because it is a common saying, but at the same time it is a fact. I started the year in Istanbul, then travelled to Buenos Aires, Montevideo, parts of Uruguayan coast, Mendoza, cross the Andes to reach Santiago de Chile and Concepcion; back to Buenos Aires, in order to fly to Miami and back; without spending 24 hours there take a 52 hour bus trip to Cochabamba; back, fly to Johannesburg, Lagos, Abuja, Istanbul, Ankara, New York, back to Buenos Aires; then to Rio de Janeiro and back; time travel to Habana and Trinidad, back to Buenos Aires; visit Uruguay's beautiful capital and the South American Riviera...and finally finish the year in Paris (or in my humble opinion at the capital of an "Empire that did not exist") of the South America. I have seen more than 20 airport VIP lounges (thanks mom) in 4 continents. Spent time with my old friends, met with so many new people, learnt a bunch of new things, became a property owner, producer, columnist, semi-devout twitter user, closed chapters that needed to be closed, started new professional initiatives and found my path to emotional maturity.
Now that I put down on words, it was a good year. I appreciate all the individuals that inspired me in this journey. It would not be this good if it was not for your company and support.
