Sergi Basoli, a man from Barcelona, Spain whose thirty-three years of age has taken him to many places, has a story to tell like none-other.

It all started after graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. He was immediately presented with the opportunity to start a very nice job while he worked on his Ph.D.

But that was the part that scared him.

Another three years of working and studying. Another three years of getting used to his comfortable environment. Another three years that he would miss out on something he could never get back; and that thing was time.

Sergi enjoyed his life before his travels, but he wanted something more. Something that he could do on his own. For himself.

“You hear so many solo travelers talking about these kinds of trips so nicely and beautifully — so much enlightenment. I wanted to try it.”

So, Sergi did just that. He chose an alternative life path.
