On the subject of food in Asia and Laos in particular, let me premise right away that I am also super curious about food, and in general I like Asian food, but I don’t eat everything. In fact, just as a result of imminent legacies of this trip, I have convinced myself that I have…

Visiting Vientiane was certainly not at the top of my thoughts; and the accommodations in Laos are among the most picturesque I have come across. Like most I had hardly ever heard of the capital of Laos. But one of my favorite authors is Tiziano Terzani, and his book In Asia, had been ready on…

I had long had a travel to Laos and Cambodia on my list. In fact, they were two countries I had sampled on a trip to Thailand in 2015. In Laos, I had even been just 30 minutes, just long enough to check out a little market during a tour that landed us in the…

In particular, here I talk about what happened to me in In the first podcast where I talk about this journey, I anticipated that…

To see animals in Australia is very common. Outside the city, starting in the Queensland region I really got into the Australian nature. I took many beautiful walks with encounters with animals but also plants I had never seen and fabulous views of the Ocean. I took the featured photo near Byron bay, at the…

Even now it seems unbelievable to me that I was lucky enough to visit Sydney and Australia, and I have this thought practically every morning. When I have breakfast, in front of me I have the giant planisphere covering the entire kitchen wall. So my first thoughts are about how big the world is and…

Of surprising encounters while traveling I have had many, but never as many as in one day in Malaysia that I call a trip to Kuala Lumpur. In general among the good things about solo travel is just that, at least until a few years ago and at least in Asia. But it really is…
