About The Author
Nelson Orellana
Nelson Orellana is an entrepreneur, a dreamer, and a fighter. Born in El Salvador, he grew up in a world of hardship, learning from an early age what it means to struggle. At just 17, he left his home, crossing borders and facing dangers most people could never imagine.
His journey led him to the United States, where he started from nothing. He worked hard, learned new skills, and built his own business. He never had things handed to him—he earned everything through determination and faith.
Today, Nelson is a business owner, a husband, and a father. His story is proof that with hard work and persistence, anything is possible. He wrote 5000 Miles to share his experiences and inspire others to chase their dreams, no matter how far away they seem.
Nelson believes in resilience, faith, and the power of never giving up. He knows what it’s like to struggle, and he wants his story to give hope to those who feel lost.
He is not just an author—he is living proof that dreams can come true, even when the road is long and difficult.
