The guy who is traveling the world with the “Mom I’m fine” sign

Traveling is one of the most rewarding experiences in life. Meeting new people and cultures gives you a broad perspective. Thinking about traveling alone might be a bit scary, especially for our moms, who think of all the negative things that could happen, but as long as we let them know that we are doing fine, they can stop worrying about us.

Jonathan Kubben Quiñonez is a 27-year-old guy from Brussels, who is traveling the world with a “Mom I’m fine” sign. His Instagram account @momimfine has become very popular with over 164,000 followers. Don’t you think he is the most thoughtful son out there?

Jonathan Quiñonez’s Instagram bio says: “Whatever your age if you have a Latin mom and a passion for adventure, you will have to find a way to tell her that you are fine. This is my way”. Taking pictures with a “Mom I’m fine” sign everywhere you go is the coolest way of checking in with your mom. If you are thinking about traveling, we’ll share with you some really useful travel tips

Jonathan surely knows how to have fun; he went to the Tomorrowland music festival held in Belgium. Here’s tip number one: Before you go on a trip it is very important for you to scan passport pages, credit cards, your driver’s license and personal ID in case your bags are lost or stolen.

Before packing for your new destination, you should check the weather forecast in order to know what sort of clothes you need. You should also think about all the activities you want to do during your trip, just like skydiving in Playa del Carmen, Mexico!

Peru

In this picture, Jonathan went to explore the breathtaking Peruvian countryside. If you are traveling abroad for a long period of time, this tip is extremely important! You should visit your doctor and ask him if you need any travel vaccines. You should also have a medical check-up to make sure you are healthy.

Think about all the things you’d like to do in your trip and organize your itinerary to take advantage of the time you’ve got, considering your budget and the places you want to visit. In Jonathan’s case, he chose Latin American countries, which are great budget travel destinations.

Machu Picchu

When you are traveling, you need to take all your belongings and the important things you need, so you should know the baggage restrictions required by the airline. There are some items that are prohibited on airplanes so you should also take that into consideration. Visiting Machu Picchu, the historic Inca city is a must for those who love traveling to historic places!

Cartagena, Colombia

Whether you’re staying at a hotel or hostel you should book ahead of time. If you choose a hostel there are many chances that you might meet new people, but you need to be forthcoming, don’t be afraid to say “hi, where are you from?” to a complete stranger. Here’s another beautiful picture of Cartagena Colombia.

If you are traveling to a whole different country then you should read about the culture, or get a travel guide in order to know about the region’s beliefs and trends. These travel guides also have very useful maps with different locations and they show you the best possible ways to get there. Jonathan probably did his own research on the countries he was about to visit.

Caribbean Sea

Find out which currency is used in your destination and the exchange rate. Having a credit card might be a good idea because they are safer to carry than cash, but you need to be aware that there is a fee for the exchange transaction. There are many beautiful islands in the Caribbean Sea where you can do scuba diving, just like Jonathan did.

Purchasing a factory unlocked phone might be a little more expensive but due to the fact that no changes are made to the hardware and software, these phones can be used with any cell phone provider. In Jonathan’s case, he needs a cellphone to upload all these Instagram pictures.

San Andres, Colombia

Before you travel you need to make sure your travel documents are in order. If you need a visa, make sure to apply early because depending on the country, the process can be complicated. Jonathan made the right choice visiting Colombia, which is a beautiful and diverse country with many attractions.

Cuba

If you are going to travel by yourself, then you need to have an open mind and be willing to talk to strangers in order to make friends. If you are lucky, you can meet other people who are also traveling by themselves and you can go sightseeing together. Visiting Cuba is like traveling back in time; the colorful streets of cities like La Habana and Trinidad are definitely worth seeing.

Antioquia, Colombia

Keeping a travel journal is a great way for you to enhance your memories and find inspiration. If you are going on a long trip, this is a great way to remember every detail about your journey in order to share the story with your family and friends when you get back. In Jonathan’s case, he’s got all these pictures to help him remember all the places he’s been to.

If you are traveling alone, you have to learn how to be patient with yourself if something goes wrong, you need to know your strengths and accept the fact that not everything will go as planned, but it is important to have faith and know that everything will be alright.

It is extremely important for you to travel with a budget; According to lonelyplanet.com, you need to start your budget with the biggest expenses first, then you can work out a daily cost base on room rates and meal costs and you should also budget for activities, museum entry fees or souvenirs.

Sapeurs: the most stylish men in Africa

These elegant men called “Sapeurs” are part of the “SAPE” (Societe des Ambianceurs et des Personnes Elegantes), a social movement in which men dress in the most elegant clothes. They are very proud of their style because they wear some really expensive clothes such as $500 designer suits!

The “SAPE” is perhaps the most peculiar movement in the Democratic Republic of the Congo because they combine the style and social revolution from the 20s, no wonder they have become so popular.

Sapeurs

Source: Héctor Mediavilla

This movement emerged as a form of civil disobedience during the military dictatorship of Mobutu Sese Seko in Zaire. This fashion trend started after it was banned to dress in Western-style clothing because they wanted the people to dress in traditional African clothing.

The “Great Sapeur”

Source: Héctor Mediavilla

The man who inspired this movement was the so-called “Grand Sapeur" André Grenard Matsoua, who after returning from Paris, wearing Western suits began this trend. His style became very popular and other men started to dress like him buying clothing of European origin.

They don’t care about the price tag

Source: Pinterest

The sapeurs love European style especially French clothes that come directly from Paris. If these stylish men like something, they will not hesitate to buy it, regardless of the price tag.

Sapeurs and music

Source: www.npr.org

The Sapeur movement and the Congolese rumba emerged in Kinshasa and Brazzaville. The renowned musician Papa Wemba created music inspired by this movement; King Kester Emeneya, a famous singer in Congo said that “the white man invented the clothes, but we turned them into art."

Sapeurs became quite popular

Source: Pinterest

A lot of different men in the Brazzaville district were inspired to join the sapeurs, despite the fact that they are used to living off of 30 cents per day. Some of them would rather spend tons of money on clothes than on a house.

Congo Dandies

The Congolese men, who traveled to Paris and then returned with French clothes, were considered as Grand Sapeurs, because of their new style. They say a real Sapeur has to visit Paris at least once in his lifetime.

They don’t wear fakes

Source: storify.com

These men don’t like wearing fakes because they think that everyone else will notice. Some of their favorite brands are Kenzo, Armani, and Yves Saint Laurent.

Their rules

Source: www.peranderspettersson.com

The Sapeurs have their own rules: you need to be creative, wear flashy colors and designer brands; they even need to walk a certain way. When they go out to the streets, they want everyone to look at them and their unique style.

African style

Source: www.bbc.com

The sapeurs are willing to do anything in order to wear the most stylish clothes. Some of them wear second-hand clothes, while other get their clothes from relatives who are living abroad. It’s amazing how they spend hundreds of dollars on clothes when their average yearly income is $100!

Solid moral ethic

Source: www.frankandoak.com

According to Sapeurs: Meet the Sapeurs of Congo by Valerie Rain, “A real Sapeur needs to be cultivated and speak fluently, but also have a solid moral ethic: that means beyond the appearance and vanity of smart, expensive clothing there is the moral nobility of the individual.”

Impeccable taste

Sapeurs believe that this movement focuses on developing impeccable taste, expensive clothes are important, but the most important thing is to always look stylish and elegant

Freelance photographer Héctor Mediavilla has traveled and explored Africa throughout the years. In 2003 he arrived in the Republic of Congo for some photography workshops and was overwhelmed with the stylish Sapeurs. He filmed the short documentary called "The men inside the suits" which portrays the life of these intriguing characters.

They borrow each other’s clothes

Sapeurs don’t think that money is the most important thing; they have a very common phrase that says “It is not about the value of the suit, but the value of the person who wears it" so they have no problem using someone else’s clothes.

Extravagant style

Undoubtedly the Sapeurs have revolutionized fashion with their extravagant style. Expensive suits are part of their wardrobe but what they really care about is having a unique fashion sense!
