Hi! My name is Eric, and I am glad you have found your way onto my eclectic blog. Mexican by birth and Canadian adopted citizen. I’m the son of wonderful parents, my mother from Yucatan, and my father is Carmelo (from Ciudad del Carmen), making me a “YuCarmelian”!
Over time, I became a Canadian citizen. Fortunately, either for pleasure or work, I have had the opportunity to travel and live in various places, whether in my homeland, overseas, in my new country in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, or wherever the future takes me.
I have worked on construction and commissioning projects in various countries for almost 20 years as a data professional, see my professional profile. These projects have led me to work in the United States, Mexico, Venezuela, Qatar, Canada, and Chile. In addition to my own personal and family pleasure trips, I have enjoyed taking notes of places, stories, and experiences.
I currently travel between Canada, Mexico, and other places based on my unique work assignments at the time, which reminds me of a phrase by Chavela Vargas with a bit of a twist:
“Mexicans are born and live wherever the f**% we want.”

Memoir writing is like a “chicken soup” for our brain: it is the best therapy to drive away that occasional and undesirable friend Al Zheimer. Previously, I had made a couple of blogs: atacamaexpat.com (about my time in Antofagasta, Chile) and yucarmeloxelmundo.com (pleasure trips). Still, I decided to better consolidate them into one: BackPack-Diaries.com.
Blogging in two different languages is a challenge that I gladly accept, so I will welcome your comments in either English or Spanish.
I hope that my posts serve as entertainment and/or motivation.
