Of all the animals in Malaysia, the proboscis monkey is the one I liked the most. I also saw other monkeys and bearded pigs, but I saw practically all of them in half an hour within a few meters of the visitor center at Baku National Park in Borneo, on a day trip from Kuching.…
Speaking of animals in Southeast Asia, I thought I’d see more of them on this trip. I actually did see them, but mostly in a short amount of time and within a few meters! The symbol of Singapore is the statue—half lion, half fish—located in the bay, since the very name “Singapore” comes from the…
Encounters with stray dogs were my main concern at the start of my trip to the Caucasus. I had read some rather alarming accounts about their aggressiveness. In the past, I’d had only one nearly negative experience, and that was in Thailand. Elsewhere, I’d had no problems, even though I’d encountered many of them, especially…
I don’t often talk about food, but I think it would be nice to write an article about eating strange sandwiches. I did this in Florida as I recreated with artificial intelligence in the featured photo. This was the last of the reports I wrote via email I made on my solo trip to the…

Encounters with animals have become the aspect that excites me most about traveling. Here is a verbatim account of some original incidents that happened to me in meeting animals. In particular, the trips where I saw the most animals were to Australia and Tanzania. I later discovered that they are actually among the countries where…
These videos from the savannah are the second part and I took them in 2023 in Tanzania. The quality is not exceptional, what my means allow me, but I think they deserve it. As always, I am looking for something special and perhaps entertaining. Of those visited, the park I liked best was Ngorongoro Park,…
These videos from Tanzania are dated 2023 and in this article is the first part of the selection. They are not from Focus documentary since my means are meager, but I think they are interesting and cute. In particular, I always look for something special and maybe funny. In the first two lionesses looking for…
Our life on the savannah was immeasurably more comfortable as tourists, but still far removed from the everyday life of us Westerners. The comfort zone, the unknown one I personally experienced the discomfort of camping as a pleasure and one of the most beautiful aspects of this experience. Those who can afford it I assume…
