¡Hi! I’m Sara, incessant traveler, entrepreneur and author of the travel blog Mindful Travel.<\/h2>

Travel blogger and lover of nature and adventure<\/strong>, I started her blog Mindful Travel<\/a> to share my passion for discovering new cultures and experiences and help other travelers who want to explore the world.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

I’m a passionate entrepreneur who always finds its way to be happy through my projects<\/strong>, sharing my travel inspiration on Instagram<\/a> and giving advice about how to travel with pets, as I do with my cute dachshund Kiba.<\/p>

My motto<\/strong>: “When traveling, open your mind and your heart so you will learn with all your senses. Do not judge, experiment and enjoy every moment of the journey.”<\/p>

How was my passion for traveling born?<\/h2>

When I turned 6 my parents bought a caravan with which we traveled through Spain and Europe<\/a> until I turned 13.<\/p>

I have always felt the desire to travel and explore new places<\/strong>. The holidays were unique, full of laughter and good times; and I endured a lot of walking all day and also convinced my parents to enter in all the churches and monuments of each city. I wanted to see everything!<\/strong><\/p>

And at 18 came two incredible trips: Interrail touring Italy<\/a> for a month and discovering Tunisia. An incredible few months where I learned to take the chestnuts out of the fire and also to know a culture very different from mine.<\/p>

\"Tunez<\/p>

Responsible Traveler<\/h2>

In 2003 a trip to Ecuador changed my life<\/strong>. I spent a month in the neighborhood of Guayaquil, actively collaborating with an NGO and helping in the education and training of women and children<\/strong>.<\/p>

\"Voluntariado<\/p>

I think what I learned in that month has guided my life since then and left so much impact on me as my foundations as a person and a human being changed forever.<\/p>

Traveling responsibly, trying to benefit local communities and being respectful of the environment and cultures<\/strong> of each country, is something I always keep in mind when planning a trip. It may not always be possible, but every grain of sand counts, and among all, it can be achieved.<\/p>

Living in another country makes you grow<\/h2>

When I finished college, I lived in Oxford for six months.<\/strong> Thanks to that experience, I learned to be independent and responsible, as well as learned English, which is now basic in my life.<\/p>
