ABOUT - Inquisitive Spirit

Welcome to Inquisitive Spirit! I’m thrilled to have you here.

Hi there! I’m Nicolas—Nico to most, and I’m the adventurer behind this blog.

From as far as I can recall, I have always been an inquisitive kid. This inner drive has always pushed me to seek out authentic adventures, venture far beyond the familiar, and explore well outside my comfort zone with an insatiable eagerness to learn about the world.

I was born and raised in a town in rural Argentina. By the age of 4, I had learned to read, and my childhood was filled with classics like Around the World in Eighty Days, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Moby-Dick, among many others. These stories didn’t just entertain me—they sparked a deep curiosity and a longing to live a life filled with discovery and unforgettable tales.

That spark turned into reality in 2012 when I moved to the big city, Buenos Aires to study Political Science and then in 2013, I took my first international trip to Rio de Janeiro. That journey marked the beginning of a lifelong love for travel. Since then, I’ve been exploring on and off, seeking out hidden corners of the world, immersing myself in local cultures, and venturing down roads less travelled.

Now having Australia has a permanent base, after having achieved my dream of buying my own little piece of paradise on a sunny Queensland island with my partner Eden. While home grounds me, my inquisitive spirit keeps me chasing new adventures, both near and far, to share with you.

So what is Inquisitive Spirit?

Inquisitive Spirit isn’t your typical travel blog. It’s a philosophy—a mindset that values curiosity, openness, and the drive to explore deeply. It’s about uncovering the essence of a place, connecting with its people, and learning its stories.

A traveller with an inquisitive spirit isn’t focused on ticking destinations off a list as quickly as possible but is passionate about immersive travel and authentic experiences that go beyond the surface, venturing away from well-worn paths and their comfort zone.

This blog caters to travellers who want to get their hands (and boots) dirty exploring, while also learning about the essence of the places they visit.

Here you will find informative guides, inspiring stories and practical tips with the ultimate goal to inspire you to:

Travel more: Find the confidence and inspiration to explore new places.
Travel better: Engage deeply with your surroundings, make meaningful connections, have life changing travel experiences, and leave a positive footprint wherever you go.

Every photo you see here is taken by me, and every story is based on my own experiences, ensuring authenticity and passion in everything I share.
