Hola and welcome to my blog!

I started this blog in 2005 when I moved to Ibiza, Spain, to work as a waiter. After a year of hard work and too many tourist, I saved enough money to start backpacking around the globe.

Feel free to navigate using the right hand side menu, where you can select from a bunch of countries I visited.

The purpose of this blog was to keep my family and friends updated on my travels and my photography.

I hope you enjoy it

The Next Adventure

January 12th, 2014

I’ve been out of the traveling world for 7 and a half years now and it’s time to come back. During this time I finished my bachelors in Biology and moved from Colombia to Moscow, Idaho, USA, to start a Ph.D. in Biology. So it’s been a great time. But now with my Ph.D. coming to an end next summer it is time to hit the road again.

My girlfriend Tracy and I are planing an 8 month trip through Asia starting next September!! We are very excited and can only think and talk about all the places we are going to go and all the things we need to get ready before we leave.

Can’t wait for September to come!!

My personal Website!

September 20th, 2009

Hi all!

Additionally from being a avid backpacker and photographer, I’m a scientist!

I’m working on my doctorate at the University of Idaho, looking at the phylogenetic relationships of the mostly Andean genus Bartsia (Orobanchaceae). I use molecular methods to infer the evolutionary history of this very cool group of plants!

If you are interested in my research check out my website at: http://www.simonuribe.com

Cheers
