World Traveler Gets Creative To Let Mom Know He Is Fine

Any traveler knows it’s great to see the world, but someone is home wondering if you’re okay.

Often that means your mom, no matter how old you are.

No matter what country you come from.

Johnathan Quinonez found that out after he quit his job as an accountant in Brussels, Belgium and took off for an extended adventure.

He’s 27 years-old, but his mom was still worried, especially since his first stop was Cuba and phone and internet service there isn’t the best.

How to make mom happy and have some fun?

Quinonez told the TODAY Show “It was almost impossible to connect with my mom, so I came up with the idea to take a photo at every stop because a picture speaks a thousand words.”

Now, he’s checking in from all over the world and building quite the following on Instagram!

While waiting for the new pictures I am doing right now, here is a picture that I didn’t post. It was
in the salt desert of Bolivia. The view was amazing! I will go soon to a country represented by a
flag on this picture thanks to the #klmdreamdeals of @klm. Guess which one 🙂 #momimfine #throwback #travel #desert #salt #sun #happy #friends #bolivia #uyuni #latinamerica

Four months have passed since I saw my mom. She was really sad because I was about to leave Europe to go to Asia for a long time and she was in Mexico with my family. Christmas is the most important day for her. So I decided to surprise her. What do you think? 🙂 Ps: I couldn’t find a ticket. @flyvolaris helped me, so I want to say thank you for making this possible! Merry Christmas ???! Video edit ? @rafaeldeprost Music ?
