Thank you
when I was a boy one of the
greatest influences that I had was the
national geographic magazine and little
he collected and followed her throughout
home and I was fascinated fascinates
tenth with the photos and with the photos of
the landscapes of the cultures of the
events of the people and each time
I saw the photos I was curious
huge of not necessarily being the
photographer taking the picture but not
necessarily the photograph but be the
I was curious photographer who
I would feel to be there in the middle of the street
waiting for the mining tornado to roast and
I was curious that he would feel
see them the mountains of patagonia me
I was curious what it would feel like to see the
machu picchu or understand both a
culture that for just a moment you
you can feel part of it
thanks that and thanks to one of others
influences that I had I decided to explore
the world and that’s what I devote myself to exploring
the world because because I want to understand it
best
the day that I left my house was nothing
as the machine I thought there was going to be
my friends and my relatives in the
airport and I thought I was going to see
banners telling me bay this strong
to follow your dream and it was nothing
like this one woke up in my house alone
there was no one no me too laces
to be hands waits for the clock to say that
it was time but the airport went to
port to the house soaked pick up my
suitcase was not in dad
I took a taxi alone to the airport and I waited
that it was time to board the plane
alone
I got on the plane and sat next to the
window and I was lost in my
thoughts because I realized that the
kind of life that I decided to live was going to be
very lonely but at the same time it’s going
to bring a lot of gratification and what
I understood most is that my need
know the world of knowing other
cultures will help me to know me
myself
and the united states I just went to
live with him but my dad he is wing
winfield and this man changed my life
I lived with him for two years and the service
he makes an inventor he was a pilot in
the marines studied economics and comes a
family that does business
sell them make others different this and
is photographer part then the idea was
that he was going to go with him the city photography
to better someday be able to use it as
vehicle to go around the world
wind was a man with very very values
conservatives
and is to support the republican party is
someone who believes in hard work is
someone who believes in earning what he has
counted that believes in individuality and
Saya believes in honor and they are things
perspective details that I never had
understood what I had experienced the most
in my life and I identified a lot with
them because I also believe in the
I work hard I also believe in winning
what you have I also believe in the
honor
after living with him for a while my
penis I work as a photographer myself and
I created some businesses and got married and
an advertising agency and after
I got tired and decided it was the era
time to make my first trip in
South America, so I went to travel
South America like for 5 months I was in
peru I was in chile in bolivia and in
argentina to salar de uyuni if they have
viewed
after that in Argentina I met
Juan keep the fact the Argentines
Mexican is not disguised
and Juan Jose was a super man
smart and he was super compassionate and he
had very liberal values of
fact he was one of the leaders of the
communist party in buenos aires and I
I made a close friend of him we traveled together by
a time and he did not believe in equality
labor in sharing resources but
help the less fortunate
in a way no light bulb can not have
known to restlessness see the
perspective so separated that my cousin and
my conservative cousin and my friend the
communist but the funny thing was that the
two I identified with them both
more and although they were perspectives and ways
to see life very very honorable and
valid both I admired them quite
and what I learned there was that all
we have the same need as everyone
we have the need to help and
impact our community in a way
positive and that the only difference is the
and the ideas and the notion that we have of
how to do that but in reality all
we want the same thing and I realized that my
cousin and my friend was much more
connected what it looked like and was
much closer than it looked and I
realized that he has to keep leaving
I had to keep understanding things
other cultures always and myself
I came back from the USA
and I decided that I wanted to learn another way
of telling stories that I wanted instead of
taking pictures I wanted to make movies and
you went to the University of Austin
study film after that I finished and
I decided to sell everything I had regale
my clothes I was doing the pilgrimage of
santiago to one in Spain that consists of
walk
from the coast of France and Spain until the
coast of the entire country of Spain and what
I did because then I was
very tired I was mentally exhausted
physically spiritually emotionally
he had finished school and he had done
some projects that used me
completely and I felt the need to
take care of myself for the first time in my life and
we take a time for I mean
do the pilgrimage and when I started
walking I realized that all the
people who were doing the
pilgrimage were there for the same
reasons
everyone was tired everyone wanted a
change everyone wanted something different in
your life and maybe the causes will be
different divorce
but of work lost someone somebody
loved but in general the reasons are
they all seek a better life
and I had never had connected
with a group of individuals so close
because the races did not matter
religions ideologies ages sex all
we are helped for the same reasons
and there I realized that the more you know
to the world more you know yourself among
more you dedicate to understand someone else
more you can understand yourself and
the more you understand yourself you can
understand someone else
based on this idea I went to travel a
time for europe and I ended up in a
cottage in Welsh
I’m living in this cabin in Welsh
for a couple of months and the idea was
follow that is that thought that if
I know myself more so I can meet the
world did not want to be alone I wanted to be
just for a while I wanted to inquire
deep to see what I found and wanted
know more thoroughly I dedicated myself to read
I dedicated myself to meditate to pray to walk
through the medical forest to cut firewood months
what I love
and what I learned what I learned all that
time I spent looking inside
me that if I wanted to have a life more
full that I wanted to have a life more in
peace
was that you have to accept miami call me
so it was
nothing else that has to accept me with
all errors with all the defects
with the good the bad with the ideologies
he has to accept where that was
day in my life and I had to love it
for what it was and not only that had to
to be the same for others has to be
the same for each one of you who
I had to give you the opportunity to each
one of you of what issues you have to
accept them for what you are and I to martín
it is being what you are
that was one of the most important things
that I have learned in all my life
and the same thing I learned that there is more to me
know me I could more know the
people when I return from that trip I
they invited to do a project that
I called pedals down
the project was to walk in
bicycle from alaska to argentina
for 21 months
23 thousand kilometers for almost two years
the goal was simple we wanted to tell
the stories of the Americas we want
make a documentary that could share
perspectives of what’s out there
to show all of you to
we already the people out there that
we are much more similar than what
we believe
one of the first people I met
it was yimou are james are dr
incredible that lives in the super-successful usa
is dedicated to working with children with
Cancer
during the interview I asked him which
is the reason why it is so successful and
He told me the reason why it is so
successful is because I have no option anymore
to be successful because it’s not about me
it’s about saving the lives of children
I have no option to fail, not that option
because it’s not about me it’s about
save the children
my son and it’s the same with you not us
have that option rather than finish that
project you have no choice but to
capture those stories of one without that
option more than share aces
perspectives because these stories
can change the world can change
prospects for a better then you
you have no choice but to succeed and
at that time although I am not a doctor
although I do not work my children with cancer
I felt very connected to him because the two
we felt the same, I think that there
saw in me and I saw myself in it
then I met wiggins sandoval a
extremely portly architect
successful too and he grew up
extremely poor in the Philippines and
in effect to the us to be able to create a
better life
says that one of the reasons for his success
is because he knew how to value the importance of
the two cultures the eastern and the
western
the oriental talking about the
importance of the community and doing
I work for you and your family and you and
yours and the important western
knows individualism the importance of
question everything you do
and I identified a lot with him because
I also grew up with very few resources myself
I also saw that to the USA because I wanted
a better life and thanks to that I had the
experience of the two cultures you can
succeed
and just suddenly, we really are not that
different from what we think
we are much more similar than I think
we follow
one of the things that I realized
during the trip it was all the times that
we had to sleep on the ground in the
weather many times we had to
find cardboard in garbage dumps more for
sleep a little more comfortable
and that experience gave me a lot
perspective to people on the street
every time I see people on the street
today I see myself I feel compassion
because I see myself in another stage
of my life and I know what is asleep /
but I know what it is to sleep with fear I
I know what it is to sleep, waiting for you not to
go to jump and that it is not going to rain
you can sleep quiet I know what
is that
someone from the street and I can not but
connect to him more than see me in him
because we are equal
someone else who can dedicate me
quite was a thief in ecuador
we were sitting in
in a restaurant inside the restaurant
I grab a cell phone from us and lay
to run we chase it and going up
motorcycle and escaped then came the
police I got in the police car and
for a whole day we were presiding
after all an adventure what
we grabbed the leadership and for
He had already committed the
cell phone
and when we were decided here we are going to
do with the thief approached an ax
see my son and I can talk to you like that
that happened hey the thief is my brother and
please please do not mess it up
jail because the reason he stole
the cell phone is because I wanted to pay the
diapers of his son who was born yesterday
when I did recognize the cell phone
Pawn greet for ten dollars when
We grabbed 20 dollars to greet him
I said I feel very sorry
you have to do this to live
and I ‘m nobody to judge but I
I have also done things that I am not anything
proud for despair then I
I am nobody to judge him I felt very
Connected because I know what it is
say by action I know what it is to do
something like that
and I’m not religious but I do believe a lot in
the teachings of christ and there is one that
I’m really struck by the fact that it’s the
be free from sin that throw the first
stone
after a while we got to the
Patagonia
by then we are exhausted and
on the austral highway that is in the
world’s tip was only one day and in
a huge storm was raining
very strong and it was raining so strong
that I was lifting my bike and
I was so cold that I was freezing
and nothing was seen in any town at all
that could help me
and I did not think it was going to end
pretty bad is more bad is the day
out of nowhere in a cabin I approach the
cottage and knocked on the door and opens lisandro
and your family please say please
can give a coffee because it is
freezing tendering in his family gives me
a coffee they feed me and they pass it to me
every night drinking wine with
lisandro of good people
LOL
and after all the roll tells me hey
tomorrow we have the town party and
in my house that is in the town state
more with a cabin this government trust if
I want it to happen to be the weekend
with us in 2000 team and I
we went to spend the day with them and everything
the day was spent in the kitchen
taking taking playing games
talking and laughing and chatting
made our culture so familiar
Mexican herself is tomorrow my
monterrey family that all the time the
kitchen laughing and taking
those three days
lisandro and his family my team and me
we were a family
and I do not know what it is to be a gaucho
They are the cowboys of Patagonia I do not
I know what it is to live on a horse in the middle
out of nothing but I know what it is to be in
family and that’s why it’s 310 had not been
a life difference
by the time we get to the end of the world it ‘s
the end of the world the southern tip of the
continent
we heard that there were some very penguins
near a penguin that has to go to
see and for logistics things I decided that
I was just going to take the pictures
it took me 36 hours to take 5 minutes
I grab a truck asked for a lift
wait hours at a gas station I took a
taxi and walk kilometers along the coast
when I finally arrived I arrived at the
coast
there were going horses drinking water there
some birds and there were penguins next
of the horses of the birds was
awesome he pulled the camera for when
I put in lens the garment they were not
there
and he only had an hour before the
tide would rise and I could not go back and
it was frozen it was winter in the
Patagonia
so take that image that maybe not
you see it in the documentary and while
I was sitting there freezing
waiting for the perfect moment that you
I could take the penguins I gave myself
I realized that they had achieved my dream
mind that I finally knew what it was
be in the middle of nowhere and capture
the wild life that I know what it is to see
machu picchu I know what it is to see the
Mountains of Patagonia I know what it is
get into a culture so much that
only a moment can be part of it
travel the world and follow my dreams
I have come to know incredible things
helped me to know myself in a way
Awesome
I have experienced being broken without
experienced money earn enough
money experienced living in the
interperience experienced living in houses
very very very
Furnished
experienced doing very low things and
things that he was very proud of me
and what he has learned is that we are all
more similar what it seems
what
Within each of you there is a
part of you inside you there is a part
from us
but maybe you do not know what it is that
they made republican maybe you do not know
what is it that conservative values
but if you believe in hard work if
you believe in winning what you have there are part
of you who can understand the republican
and if you do not love you do not know what it is to be
communist but if there is part of you that
they believe in helping the needy in the
labor equality then there is part of
you who can understand the communist
or better is not a thief but if any
you have done something that you are not
Proud proud of despair
there is part of you that can have
thief
and maybe you do not know what being a
explorer like me but if there’s part of
you that
a curiosity so great that it has
led to unimaginable things then
there is part of you that can understand me
my
because we are not as different as
we believe we are much more similar than
that we believe and we are much more
connected to what we have thanks
