Nothing builds
intelligence
like travel.

I've spent my life traveling. I changed homes almost every year, built businesses, ran and founded companies, and more than once had to start over. This isn't just a travel guide. It's not a perfect feed or a collection of destinations. It's the notebook I write in train stations, dawn cafés, airports with no timetable and lost corners of the world. Welcome to my logbook.

The Story of the Jhony Hause
Featured

MeVoyViajando wasn't born when I decided to travel. It was born when I understood that losing everything could also be a beginning.

In February 2018 I made one of the most important decisions of my life. After living about ten years in Comodoro Rivadavia, I went through a very hard financial situation that cost me nearly everything. Instead of giving up, I decided to go see the world.

I arrived in Puerto Natales, Chile, and what was meant to be a temporary stop became one of the most extraordinary chapters of my life. Some people who believed in me offered me something unthinkable: a house. Instead of keeping it for myself, I decided to open its doors through Couchsurfing. That's how the Jhony Hause was born: a one-of-a-kind multicultural meeting point in Patagonia.

For several years the house welcomed between 15 and 25 people a day, hitting a record of 31 simultaneous guests on December 31, 2018. Backpackers from all over the world lived under one roof, sharing meals, cultures and dreams. Along the way I collected 287 references on Couchsurfing, and more than 600 guests left testimonials.

Chapter 04 · The book

The 7
Destinations

At my farewell in Comodoro Rivadavia, a friend from Rada Tilly gave me a nickname: "Jhonatan of the 7 destinations". Ever since, whenever someone asks me what they are, I smile. The answer is told in a book I'm writing — and the ending isn't the one you imagine.

"For years I believed I was traveling the world. Over time I understood that I was really traveling through people."
