When I was young, we traveled a lot as a family, and I did a lot of traveling by myself or with a friend while still in school. I think I learned a lot from being in another country, in another culture with another language and a long way from home, and I still do. Last year I traveled from Mexico down to Rio in Brazil by bus over 6 months. Many of these countries were a lot of inspiration for me, but one of the places that inspired me the most was Cuba. I was there 7 years ago and I was fascinated by the light, all the colors and architecture, the cars and the people. All the new places I visit are a great experience and good for inspiration.
