You’re probably all familiar with those days when you just want to drop everything and travel the world… Well, a former model from Brussels named Jonathan Quiñonez actually had the courage to do so! He simply quit his job and started his journey around the world…
Wondering how his mom reacted? Because, let’s face it, all moms are overprotective and worry a lot. Luckily Jonathan knew what to do! To assure his mom that he is fine, he is documenting his journeys on Instagram, saying ‘Mom I’m Fine’ in every pic. In an interview with Bored Panda , when asked about his mom he said: “She is still worried, like every mother. But in the end, she is happy because she knows I’m having the time of my life”. Check out part of his journey below.

He documents his journey on Instagram saying ‘Mom I’m Fine’ in every pic
When Bored Panda asked what inspired him, he said…
“It isn’t just one thing that made me do that…”
“I always wanted to do it but every time, I was trying to convince myself that i couldn’t with sentences like…”
“what about your jobs or your car or your cat?” Etc etc. But these are just pretexts…”
“In the end, when you really want something, you go for it or at least try…”
“It just depends how bad you want it”
Sounds inspiring, huh?
Wait till you hear his recommendation to those who want to do the same…
“Do it” – Jonathan said to Bored Panda
“Everybody loves to travel, you just have to dare to do it…”
“With my message, I’m trying to show that the world is a beautiful place…”
“I don’t think we are born to pay taxes or stay in front of a television…”
“I understand that people have responsibilities so I’m talking to the ones that are saying they can’t, but deep down they know they are just convincing themselves…”
“Do it”

I think he must be a wonderful son with a good sense of humor
It would have been funny if he photoshopped a shark behind him at the shipwreck, js.
it would have been nice if he took his mom with him :)
Who do you think took the pictures?
his girlfriend or random people i think
He did. She told him to go himself and have a wonderful time. :)
Why should he have? He wanted to live his dream, not his mother's.
I'm sure he tried to get her to go, once.
Most of this pictures, if not all, are taken in Colombia (which is actually very affordable country to travel to) it just look so different because is a ecologically diverse country, there's deserts, mountains, jungles, pacific and Atlantic beaches etc...
That sign must be very durable
I don't see him with a parka in Antarctica or in Russia...I think he is travelling the Carribean, South America, Central America circuit LOL
not "the world" ;-)
He's missing a few more 'i's in fiiiiine
He never fails to include an apostrophe. I'm actually impressed.
Yes you don't live to pay taxes and work, and watch TV... but to do something like this you DON'T have to be super rich.. noooo..... nooooo -.-
That's nice to say from a former model who has the money to do something like that
It's not a question of money, but guts!!!! Are American? Because all is about money back in the States. Have you not heard about saving up for something you really want? Also men models don't earn as much as women models, unless they are very well known.
I have traveled a good portion of my life and would never send pictures like these. She would have had a heart attack for sure. However I love them and may share them with friends. Now I am 69, very married, and can only dream of pretty girls in Bikinis. I live in the mountains of Panama and it is beautiful here.
handsome lad.
Brilliant, loved it
Who else read every single "mom, I'm fine" in his mind? :D
My favorite is the guys in camouflage holding him upside down, yeah, Mom, nothing to worry about! Funny!
He is really cute!
love this! and yes, he's fine!
Oooh, I have an idea. You can get leafcutter ants to carry a sign by dabbing a bit of pee on the sign, which contains salt and makes it desirable to take back to the nest. Maybe if you took a "Mom I'm fine" sign and got the ants to carry it...
I agree, a good son
Hehe... Now, that was cute. ☻
What a delightful son! And damn if he's not a looker ...
Which place is that, in the 10th image? The one with the tiny islands behind him.
A similar one would be Raja Ampat in Papua, Indonesia
Looks like Guatape in colombia. I have been there
I can see one of the Armada laughing. XD
Next stop: Syria.
Fantastic Dude, you just showed men out there the coolest way to show mom love!!! cheers
He's adorable!
de dónde saca el dinero para viajar y no trabajar??????
Scumbag steeve says you need a job to travel of course not, step 1- be rich step 2- don't be poor step 3-just go to one place and take cool pictures and say you traveled across the world step 4-be rich

Lovely. I can recognize Costa Rica in some of this pictures!!!! Had a good time in the happiest country?
can play can play
Reminds me of Diego Buñuel's Don't tell my mother.
Why yes. Yes, you are.
So, he stopped being a model to travel the world and take photos. So.....isn't he just being a traveling model?
attention seeking TWAT ... jezzas ... boring
Are you just jealous?
The only reason I wanna earn is to do this. :D
Well Sir wish you came also live your dream.
I think he needs to have a job before being able to say he "simply quit his job" ...
He did have work and saved for his trip. Read up on the article. OK

All the photos are fine except for the last one! Don't think he should have defaced that large slab of stone! In fact in a national park it would be illegal!
Idk, but I think it's chalk :/ ( not sure )

Call me jealous or cynical or whatever but posting pictures from places most people will never get to see just sounds like bragging to me. I see it as arrogance.
Jealous much. He is doing it for his mom. Not the world. Stop being a negative turd.
Isn't the point of taking vacation pictures at other places meant to share memories? someone's T R I G G E R E D
Right on! All these very negative and jealous little people, shame on you all. Everone can if they wish to realise their dream if the set their mind to it. So stop your nasty remarks.
