If you are afraid to visit a foreign country because of travel scams, afraid of shady deals and confused if it really is Buddha day today (hint: no it is not) this post might help you fight that fear. Or at…
Because I started doing some homework – processing old photos, selecting the good and discarding the chaff, and so on – I started to get little folders of newly processed photos. Some of these were already published here, but now…
Well, I am now in Bucharest so this small wonderful trip ended. Managed to backup the whole photo catalog from the Asus netbook and do a backup, unpacked, did the laundry, started work – everything is back to normal. More…
In a city with sweltering heat you need an oasis of quiet, some trees, and a way to cool down. So…take on big swimming pool, add a lot of hammocks, a lot of fans in the dorms, a large space…
The vacation within the vacation is over. My 3 day stay in Tulum is over, and now I am in Merida missing the beach. Tulum is a backpacker hangout near the Caribbean, famous for cenote diving and snorkeling, for Mayan ruins, and for…

One of the interesting parts of vacation – and staying at hostels, taking buses, eating at hole-in-the-wall places – is that you get to meet a lot of interesting people. Everybody has a story, everybody can recommend places to see…
Ciudad de Mexico is…. the smell of delicious food – tortas, burritos, quesadilla, and so many more which I intend to try music – everywhere I can hear a band playing – from love songs to spanish rock colonial buildings…
Sometimes people look at me somewhat strange when I tell them I have no particular plan when I start traveling. I have a general idea what I want to see, and at one point (morning coffee) I read the guide…
New mid-year resolution: finally start to learn proper Spanish. It is clear that sooner or later I am going to come back to another Spanish speaking country, being either Spain proper or somewhere in South / Central America. I do…
