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
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
Bangkok doesn’t sleep. It sweats, it hazzles, it seduces. It’s a neon fever dream that hits you like a tuk-tuk running red lights at 3 am. A city with no filters, no cares and certainly no apologies.
Diving at the Similan Islands
Out there, somewhere off the Andaman coast of Thailand, are nine chunks of granite scattered like a careless god’s afterthought. The Similan Islands. Remote, wild and blissfully ignored by the sunburned herds sipping cheap cocktails in Phuket.
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.
Lonely day in Helsinki
Helsinki isn’t the kind of place that throws itself at you. No loud cheers, no fake smiles. It stands there, quiet and desolate, like a Finn at a bus stop in February with a fur coat zipped high, eyes stoically fixed on some distant point beyond the horizon.
