The previous name of the Blog was ´Eu ando pelo mundo` which means I walk throughout the world which is the portuguese translation fora part of the song&nbsp;Esquadros from the Brazilian Singer Adriana Calcanhoto. And the name of the blog adress continues the song:

Eu ando pelo mundo prestando atenção em cores - which means I walk throughout the world paying attention in colours. I completely adore this song and it was more or less how I felt first time I went abroad(to live). You can listen to it here?






However, as I decided to change a little bit the language, focus and the direction of the blog I thought I should probably also think about changing the tittle of it, even though the link I won´t be able to do it. So I decided to take a look in the Travel Songs Playlist I have created before I came to Peru. (Writing as an idea for a post to organize this playlist here),

This playlist has songs in Portuguese, English and Spanish.&nbsp;



And one of the songs I like a lot, it is not a very catchy song, but has an awesome lyrics which I relate a lot to it. The feeling of going away, getting to know different cultures, places and horizons &nbsp;makes me have a much wider vision of the world.



The song is Citizen of the planet from Alanis Morissete. You can hear it here and see the lyrics underneath it.&nbsp;









I start up in the north

&nbsp;I grow from a special seed

&nbsp;I sprinkle it with sensibility

&nbsp;From French and Hungarian snow



Until my engine's full

I linger in the sprouting

&nbsp; Then I move across the sea

&nbsp;To European bliss


I kiss my mother's mother


To language of poets


&nbsp;As I cut the cord of home




&nbsp;Look to the horizon




&nbsp; Wide eyed, new ground









My president is Kwan Yin


Humbled by my new surroundings


&nbsp; I am a citizen of the planet




&nbsp;My frontier is on an airplane




&nbsp;My prisons, homes for rehabilitating




&nbsp;&nbsp;




But everything is different


Then I fly back to my rest

&nbsp;I fly back with my nuclear

&nbsp;So I wait

&nbsp;My yearn for home is broadened


&nbsp;Patriotism expanded

&nbsp;




By callings from beyond









My laws are all of attraction


So I pack my things


&nbsp;Nothing precious

&nbsp;

I am a citizen of the planet




All things sacred









&nbsp;My punishments are consequences




&nbsp;Separating from source the original sin




&nbsp; I am a citizen of the planet









And so the next few years are blurry


Democracy's kids are sovereign


&nbsp;Where the teachers are the sages




&nbsp;And pedestals filled with every parent




&nbsp; The next decade's a flurry




&nbsp;Of smells and tastes unknown




&nbsp;Threads sewn straight through this fabric




&nbsp;Through fields of every color









From simple roots through high vision


One culture to another


&nbsp; And I come alive

&nbsp;

And I am taken and globally naturalized




And I get giddy




&nbsp; I am a citizen of the planet




&nbsp;I am guarded by the angels




&nbsp;And my body guides the direction I go in




&nbsp; I am a citizen of the planet

&nbsp;

My favorite pastime edge stretching









These ideals are born from my deepest within

Besotten with human condition
