Kids chasing dreams and moms chasing worries – it's a tale as old as time. While one is seeking horizons, the other is praying for their safe return, and that's just the way it is.

As we go on an adventure, it's important to remember the ones who care the most – our moms. Jonathan Kubben Quiñonez, a true explorer at heart, understood this. He boldly quit his job to chase his dreams and travel the world. Along the way, he captured hearts not just with his stunning travel photos, but with a simple sign that became his signature – "Mom, I'm fine."

Who is this jackass, and why doesn't he have a job like a normal person? I get doing whatever traveling you can in your 20s, but this is kind of gross. Someone must have a trust fund.

This is his job for now :) And he is really good at it. So travelling on a trust fund at 20 is okay? Yet, after working and saving and networking to make this possible is not ?

    As an introvert who hates being in crowds, especially crowds with sweaty people this looks awful to me lol

    “Whatever your age is, and if you have a passion for adventure and a Latin mother, you'll have to find a way to let her know you're okay. This is my way,” Jonathan explained.

    The traveler takes pictures of himself in beautiful and unique spots. It didn't take too long for his photos to go viral. In 2016, he officially trademarked his idea and later launched a line of clothing. The earnings are used to fund a humanitarian initiative in Mexico – the creation of a school constructed entirely from repurposed plastics!

    This would have been even more impressive if the sign would've been yellow.

    "act like I just told a great joke" - "in arabic : What is he saying ? " Edit : thanks lapcat :)

    When asked about the countries Jonathan has visited, he mentioned he's explored 78 so far, and he only keeps track of them for interviews. Among all the places he's visited, the trip to India had the strongest impact on the traveler. He said, "I had tears of joy and sadness during this trip. It is as humbling as challenging. I literally had goosebumps sometimes."

    I love that Mexico City started having a Day of the Dead parade every year after Spectre was released. Great idea for tourists after millions saw Spectre.

    Talking about Jonathan's future plans, he shared that they are designing unique experiences around the world that people can win! "It can be living with a tribe in Mongolia to sleeping in an ice hotel to see the northern lights, etc. We will offer one crazy experience to win per month. We are shooting every month to launch soon. (That’s why I am learning how to sail in Iceland atm)." Sounds exciting, doesn't it?

    The pink sand beach in the background is beautiful, but this looks very dangerous, if it's a real photograph. He could easily get too far over the curve.
