The streets of Paraguay
There are places that you will rarely receive a postcard from. Paraguay is one of them. Tucked between louder neighbors with flashier attractions, this landlocked backwater doesn’t scream for attention.
At the Igauzu waterfalls
Some places humble you. Iguazu doesn’t even bother with humility, it hits you full on with humidity and something that existed long before we learned how to pave roads and build houses.
Lost in São Paulo
We thanked our driver for the ride and got out of the car somewhere in São Paulo. After having a look at our paper map, we walked briskly in a random direction towards what we believed to be civilization.
Smelling the croissants in Paris
Paris is one of the great cities on the planet. Even though I’ve been here before, there is always so much to do and experience. Revisit the classics or find new gems, the choice is yours.
Legends of the Lake District
The Lake District is a region in Cumbria, North West England. Not unsurprisingly…
A fistful of haggis

Finding the beach in Phi Phi Islands
Thailand is one of the most popular backpacker destinations in the world. People arrive in droves to eat the delicious food, enjoy the sun and take a swim at the beautiful beaches. Everyone I speak with claims to have visited a very special beach, and I guess some of this talk comes from “The Beach”.
The temples of Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai is the biggest city in northern Thailand, but far more friendly than it’s chaotic sibling Bangkok. Up here in the north, the heat is less suffocating than Bangkok’s chokehold, but it still clings to your skin like guilt.
