No es mi primer viaje a Tailandia.
Desde los 14 a los 17 años mis padres decidieron que iba a celebrar mi cumpleaños cada vez en un continente. Como cumplo años el 15 de julio, era una fecha perfecta.
Los 14 los cumplí en Italia, los 15 en Kenia, los 16 en Tailandia y los 17 en Costa Rica.
Recuerdo la ilusión de elegir el viaje del año siguiente, casi al volver del anterior.
Las experiencias vividas en esos viajes increíbles son una de las mejores herencias que me han dejado.
Aquí estoy con mi padre en Tailandia un tuktuk, hace más de 30 años.
Supongo que veré un país muy diferente al que recuerdo. De momento, solo he ido del aeropuerto al hotel y las carreteras me han parecido mucho más “ordenadas”.
Te lo iré contando estas semanas.
Y buscaré con ahínco a Danio. Este que tú puedes llevar a tu escuela con este proyecto:
Muchas gracias papá por enseñarme el mundo e inculcarme las ganas de explorarlo.
Te quiero mucho.
Un abrazo
This is not my first trip to Thailand.
From the age of 14 to 17 my parents decided that I would celebrate my birthday each time on a different continent. Since my birthday is July 15, it was a perfect date.
My 14th birthday was in Italy, my 15th in Kenya, my 16th in Thailand and my 17th in Costa Rica.
I remember the excitement of choosing the next year's trip, almost as soon as I returned from the previous one.
The experiences I had on those incredible trips are one of the best legacies they have left me.

I guess I will see a very different country than I remember. So far, I have only gone from the airport to the hotel and the roads have seemed much more "orderly" to me.
I will tell you about it in the next few weeks.
And I will be looking hard for Danio. This one you can bring to your school with this project:
Thank you so much Dad for showing me the world and instilling in me the desire to explore it.
I love you very much.
