WHY IS THE SKY BLUE?

I’m a hopeless vagabond and a recovering addictive entrepreneur. I like starting new things, especially things that benefit people’s lives. PamplonaBalconies.com does just that, because it makes it easier for English-speaking travelers to do business with Spanish-speaking homeowners. I believe that efficient markets and increased supply will eventually win out over high prices that result from scarcity. We’re doing our part, and we’re just getting started... so stick around and see what happens.

Let the Good Times Roll - Running of the Bulls 2011

 
Running of the Bulls revelry

let the good times roll
let them knock you around
let the good times roll
let them make you a clown
let the stories be told
let them say what they want
let the photos be BOLD
let them show what they want
- The Cars, c. 1978

..every other challenge in life seems trivial, says Mark Regouby founder of PamplonaBalconies.com and four time bull runner. The experience of bringing your life to a point, of not knowing whether “this was it or there will be a tomorrow” makes everything seem very clear. Mark says about himself that after Running with the Bulls in Pamplona, he was able to start taking risks in life. He quit an unfulfilling job because he was not longer in need for the security, and started traveling, in search for a purpose. Mark found a purpose; it was a long journey that began with the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain. To read about what he did read his last blog entry.
