I have left my full-time position at Hoodiny Entertainment Group to pursue new horizons. The wife and I will take a couple months off work to travel the world. After working nonstop for the last 10 years of our lives we are in desperate need of a mini retirement.

We started entertaining this idea quite a while back and have taken all the necessary steps to make this happen. We sold our condo, we got rid of our cars. We have now freed ourselves of most material possessions in the interest of practicality and portability. I can’t express how great of a feeling that is. The ability to fit all that you own in a backpack and travel the world searching for new experiences.
I will continue to run my company Bopia albeit I’ll be slightly less involved. I am really glad to be able to leave it in the hands of extremely talented people that work with me in this venture. I am sad to be leaving a talented team at Hoodiny (I may continue to advise). They are in route to success and know that they will continue to make strides in the right direction.
With extremely few material possessions and no kids to attend to we are free to roam the earth. Our plans are somewhat vague as to where and for how long we will be gone. I will have a camera and a laptop with me and will be blogging most of my experiences my new travel blog TravelingShorts.com.
I am keeping an extremely open mind about the whole process. I am not sure how much or how little work I will be doing, I may write a couple web apps, pick grapes vineyard in the south of France, or teach english in Thailand. That’s the beauty. I don’t know, I don’t have to know, and that feels great.
This blog will likely be seldomly updated in favor of TravelingShorts.com yet I will keep it live. The travel blog will include pictures, latest tweets from @brupm and reflections from the road. You will also be able to contact me as you wish, all my latest contact info will always be on BrunoMiranda.com.
Someone asked me yesterday what I plan on doing when I get back. I honestly don’t know. I have been developing and designing software and web applications for most of my life. I want to perhaps be more involved with the business side of things. I am not sure exactly what kind of business. I am open to suggestions, so if you have any interesting ventures, please do contact me.
If you’d like to find out more and stay current with our journey, subscribe to the TravelingShort’s RSS feed. I will be posting where we plan to go/start soon.
I may still occasionally post here while away about non travel related topics.
