Samuel Brake Guia

An energetic and passionate writer/blogger, always looking for my next adventure. From an early age, travel has been a huge part of my life, and a big part of my family life. Once I was able to walk I was immediately on the road exploring the world with my Dad. As an international Glass Blower, he would take me all over the USA and Europe introducing me to new cultures, foods and a prodigious collection of friends from around the world. Inevitably, I too inherited the travel bug and spent many of my later teenage years working and solo backpacking. I graduated from the University of Portsmouth in 2014 with a 1st class degree in Psychology. After working a year and a half in a high-pressure corporate sales job, I decided that life on the road was the only life for me. In August 2016 I donated all of my possessions to charity, quit my job and bought a one-way ticket to Boston. Since then I have been on the road travelling through North, Central and South America searching for new adventures and amazing stories. I am currently based in the beautiful city of Medellin, Colombia to focus on my writing and my travel blog (LostGuia). I am not sure what lies ahead of me on my adventures but in the words of David Bowie "I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring."
