This may be the most intimate post I will ever share and it’s about a deeply vulnerable issue for me. Death has surrounded me my whole life – a lot of death. Add to that various abandonments and you can understand that I have issues with loss. This is not a competition about who has READ MORE

Budapest, Hungary
Let me start off by saying that Budapest is one of the most amazing cities I have had the privilege of visiting. Most of the people are incredibly polite and helpful even though they barely speak English. The city has kept its old style architecture and is just beautiful and even the less good parts READ MORE
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
I went to Dubai for 2 days, just for business. I knew I would barely have the time to do any tourist activities but if there is the possibility of mixing business and pleasure, I’d find a way. And I did. First of all, let me say that the politeness and level of service of READ MORE
Pauses for rest and pauses for strength
Sometimes we need a pause to rest and sometimes we need a pause to build. The lockdowns forced me along with everyone else to take a pause. Since it was completely unexpected (to me), I had many constraints without the time to be able to work on finding optimal solutions for them. But true to READ MORE
Levis Saint Nom
Sometimes you arrive at a little town, that is so small and yet with such a big personality that it marks you. Not only because of its past, but rather because of its current population. This is exactly the case with a little village about 30 km outside of Paris known as Levis Saint Nom. READ MORE
Claude Monet’s Old Stomping Ground
It’s not often you can look at a place and feel like you’re in a painting. And yet, that’s exactly what I felt when I went to Vetheuil. You see, this is where Claude Monet lived before he became famous and a good number of his paintings are of there. But what’s most amazing is READ MORE

The week started off with a new van. I thought about the travel I’d been doing, my likes and dislikes and realised that I needed a different type of van. So, I sold off the old one and bought a “new” one. What’s the new van? A Volkswagen Transporter LT28 from 2001. It has a READ MORE
Education Through Travel – A Story In 4 Acts
I know that in my travel blog you expect to read about my travels. However, learning about the world is a big part of what’s so amazing while traveling. Sometimes you learn things on the spot. Sometimes, a lesson takes a long time to fully educate you. This is one of those. Act 1 – READ MORE
Parisian Suburbia
The great Paris. It’s a city I have come to love and hate at the same time. I have enjoyed my time here and will also be happy to move on. There are two things I love about Paris and the Parisian suburbia. In Paris itself, I could be driving around the small winding streets, READ MORE
Saint Gobain, France
After my WWOOFing experience, I took some time off to be alone with my little flock and enjoy the van that was starting to take shape. So off I went. No need to go far since I was already in the countryside. I drove a few kilometers out and found an entry path to a READ MORE
