Nobody is eternal in the world

ABOUT ME

I have been traveling around the world for more than 25 years, and I have had the oportunity to visit over 140 countries, which has led me to write several books about traveling and migration. My books, articles, traveling poems and short traveling stories, all in Spanish, can be read freely at www.davidrollvelez.com. There you can also find the books I have written about politics, since I am a senior teacher in the most important University in Colombia: Universidad Nacional.

PHILOSOPHY

Every day brings a challenge,
or a disappointment, or
a huge gift
and all leaves the script,
even if you rage, scream or persist.

From: "Poemas viajeros" (Travel poems), David Roll

教，学，和分享

What I like the most is sharing my experiences traveling around over 140 countries and researching about Migrations. As well, in some parts I'm invited to conferences about Colombian history.
