Travel Adventures

Travel broadens your horizon, pushes you out of your comfort zone, and exposes you to new cultures, other ways of living, and contrasting nature experiences. Without traveling, we live our lives as we always have done, accepting our life bubble as the immutable truth. Travels strengthen our capability to understand, create, innovate and love.

I have used a systematic approach to list and share my travel. I also love to take photos while traveling. Please do not interpret this as an encouragement to travel by following bucket lists, ticking off destinations, or worse: to collect likes. When travelers tell me they “did” [insert destination], it gives me goosebumps. Please, travel to meet people, travel to experience nature and culture, and travel by using your eyes: not only through your camera. Travel fearless and open-minded, ready to embrace what lays ahead. Let it change you.

I hope you’ll find some ideas and inspiration in the travel posts I have gathered on this little website.
