How traveling inspired me to become an entrepreneur

by Luis Alejandro Díaz (Mexico)

I didn't expect to find Ecuador

I'm young entrepreneur in search of inspiration to develop my own company about cultural experiences un Mexico. But I wanted to travel outside México to get new ideas and learn about other companies from other countries. My colleague is from Peru so I wanted to join him there and explore his country to develop the same project there. I got a huge curiosity of traveling to Ecuador cause I didn’t know much about it and I had many friends there I met back in Mexico. I traveled to Ecuador and found out to be a hidden treasure of South America with a so amazing landscapes and cool places to visit. I was a volunteer there in a hostel where I could meet many other volunteers from other countries. I love to get a full local experience wherever I travel and the best way to do it is through volunteering for meeting a lot of people and make valuable friendships. I realize that the people are what makes traveling much more special and not only the place itself. I found that diversity is theory to develop more creativity, it is the multicultural environment what brought me the best ideas to create something amazing. Being in Ecuador made me to wake up and boost my inspiration on what I’m working to develop. So I highly believe that traveling develops the vision for any entrepreneur looking for new ideas and inspiration to have a better purpose on what they want to create.
