Hello world (couldn't have said it better)!!

Thanks for visiting my campaign @ FundMyTravel!!!

My name is Eduardo Gil a mid-30s spaniard looking for a lifetime experience! Yes!! A truly lifetime experience!!

But first just 4 lines about myself:
- Engineer by profession, photographer by passion, singer by desire...
- Madrilenial in origin, left Spain to live and work abroad a few years back!
- A former "autopilot life" guy, wanting now to step away for a few months and expose myself to new places and a once-in-lifetime experience!

And what could be that stunning lifetime experience?
Well, as you can guess, and giving you are reading this in FundMyTravel.com... YESSS!!! It is all about travelling! And to be more specific is about 26 weeks of disconnection from the corporate, developed, routined world to connect to nature, new cultures, new landscapes, new countries, definetely new ways to understand life, facing issues, living with what I am able to carry within my two bags totalling 30 kg!

Why doing this?
After living a bit of an "autopilot life" for a few amount of years as well as suffering a bit of stress, anxiety and even yeah, let´s say it, a depression episode, life has giving the opportunity to pause a bit and welcome the world and life in general with a new perspective so I said: why not?. Now that I am better from my personal issues I have decided to take this opportunity onboard. After reading a lot on mindfulness and new ways to approah life, this can help me out living in first person and realizing about whats life and the purpose of us around this amazing place we call world.

It sounds like a great experience, probably because it is a great experience!! And you will be more than welcome to chase from my Instagram account, my Facebook account, here at FundMyTravel or via my personal website! Who knows, maybe you are in that state of: "Should I be doing this??". If that´s the case, maybe to follow me will help you jump on your decision!! But trust me, if you started questioning it... hmmmm..... Do it!! Also, as said in the paragraph before, this trip will help me pause my mind and get first person experience of how to face and overcome stress, problems, issues, anxiety in the future and the most important thing: to help others!

Why am I on FundMyTravel.com?
I would love to take on board this adventure using an alternative way different from money... however and sadly, not sure if this will be feasible... hence why I am here to try to get just a bit of financial support to help me out carrying out this lifetime experience!!


Why donate for you to travel? Am I getting anything on return?
So, if you are willing to help just a bit with this lifechanging experience, you won´t walk away with empty hands!! I have prepared for you a great collection of rewards covering all ranges of donation amounts. And, no matter which one you decide to help with: from the minuscule reward to the biggest one, load of affection is placed in them, and you will feel it once you receive it :).

And also, by helping me this time you are potentially helping othe people in the future with the same mental issues I once suffered. So it is a truly win-win for you!

So, thanks again to spend this time reading this and hopefully you wanna become part of this stunning story and, who knows, maybe is you next time writing those lines around here. If so, dont forget to let me know as I will be grateful to help!!

Best wishes to all and, who knows, I might see you around the world!
Eduardo.

  • The Bags!!

    The Bags!!
    So yes, one of the first stages of the trip... the baggage. Now it´s time to shrink all this materialistic world that surround you and place it onto 30 kgs spreaded across around 4-5 bags!!!

    In your case, what would you add in your bags then???
