After attending his first year at the University of Costa Rica, in the early 80s, Mynor was infected with the beautiful traveler's disease, with results so far incurable. His first big trip started in Nicaragua, a country torn by war. He then crossed the border to El Salvador, another country plagued by guerrilla warfare. After surviving the crossing of Central America and the Mexican desert, Mynor drove all the way up to Canada before finally settling in USA. Since then, he has accumulated thousands of miles, traveling around the Americas and other continents. He has worked and lived in Mexico, Colombia, Paraguay, Costa Rica, and many cities in USA. Today, his home is in a suitcase, usually in a country or place between Brazil and Costa Rica. Most recently, Mynor has spent couple of years traveling the world, mainly in South America, navigating several rivers in Colombia and Venezuela. It was there that he finally decided to achieve one of his most cherished dreams: to navigate the mighty Amazon River from its inception in Peru to its flows into the beautiful Atlantic coast of Brazil. After traveling more than 60 countries, some of his favorite places are Thailand, Costa Rica, and China; but he lists Colombia and Sweden as countries on the list of places that everyone should visit before they die. In his own country, his favorite sights include visiting the active Arenal Volcano and lying on the Manuel Antonio beaches.
