  • Visiting Bangkok, it is not always true that seawater disinfects

    Visiting Bangkok is an adrenaline-pumping experience, although not like in the movie The Hangover 2. Visiting Bangkok, encounters between temples and night life I made a lot of interesting acquaintances on this trip, but in some ways the number one was a gentleman in Bangkok.

    I’ve lost count of my weekends in Le Marche, and I get the rounds mixed up a bit; but one I remember for sure: I happened to win a mall lottery. Winning the lottery, again With a friend who was staying in Pesaro, first we went to beautiful Ascoli, then to the caves of Frasassi…

  • Tourist village in Egypt, a salty little cut

    In January 2019 I did a hybrid experience of resort but also DIY. In previous years I had done my first snorkeling: Thailand, Australia and Belize.

  • Travel mishaps, risk of sleeping under a bridge in Abu Dhabi (where there are no bridges)

    A classic snag in travel is not finding lodging. In Abu Dhabi it also happened to me because. I was without an Internet connection. The cost of living in Arab countries frightens many travelers. Avoiding restaurants, considering the convenience of public transportation, and taking an outside look at the major sites, there is only one…

  • Travel setback – flooded in the Arabian Peninsula

    The Flood A major travel snag characterized my first day in Oman. The plan was to have an interlude in the Emirates. I would have my flight to Abu Dhabi in mid-afternoon and thus plenty of time to leave my large backpack in the airport depot and visit the large mosque that is nearby. But…
