A fistful of haggis
As we drove south from Glasgow, I had many things on my mind for this odyssey through Great Britain all the way down to Brighton. Walk around the lakes of Lake District. Stay in a castle with almost proper plumbing.
One night in Bangkok
Khao San Road is one of the most infamous streets in Asia. I walked slowly through a gauntlet of persistent street vendors, offering a wide range of questionable consequences. My eyes were clouded by smoke coming from mystery meat grills as I tried to dodge the crazy tuk-tuk drivers seemingly coming from nowhere.
Diving at the Similan Islands
The Similan Islands are located in the Andaman Sea, off the west coast of Thailand. There are nine of them and all are covered in dense tropical jungle vegetation, but I’m more interested in the things below the surface.
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.
The temples of Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai is the biggest city of northern Thailand, but far more friendly than it’s chaotic sibling Bangkok. The traffic is crazy as expected, and of course you have the tuk-tuks.
Lonely day in Helsinki
What can you do if you happen to be alone in Helsinki on a Saturday evening? I took a walk to the Senate Square, sat down on the stairs of the white cathedral and enjoyed the sunset while the crew of band Leningrad Cowboys were building their stage in the square below.
Layers of history in Rome
The eternal city. No place in the world is more worthy of that title. It feels like every corner of Rome carries a story. As I roamed the hot alleys, I pondered at the layers of history.

As I admired the sunset from the hill above Golden Gate bridge, the city of San Francisco glittered far away in the dying light. This is one of the great cities that everybody recognize without even visiting it.
