Under Re-Construction...
____________________________________________________________



Here you'll find an overview of my peregrinations throughout parts of this outrageously beautiful world.
The beauty is there, at our doorstep, but when away the eyes are more widely open, the ears and the nose are awaking the curiosity and the taste, the feet are walking a strange land where everything tickles the brain... come in follow me and let me try, try to make you want to go out there, and try to share all I can if you can't.

LIVE ENTRIES

Travelling is full of highs and lows, and it all eventually comes to people who are the key to shifting the experience towards the better. The least I can do is to have them in my acknowledgments page.
On the go I need to keep track of my expenses. I thought it might be of interest to other travellers, or just to anyone out of curiosity. It forces me to be accountable to myself too, as high daily expense usually mean that I have been drinking too much beer.
Another thing I definitely need to record is the list of books I am reading on the way, as I can't keep them. Suggestions welcome! And I'm trying to keep an updated list of my travel gear.
Last added: a list of links to websites of people I met, so I can easily go and have a look at what they are doing.
