Almost all of the encounters I had during my trip to the Caucasus took place during local tours I took starting from the three capitals. Few people in that region speak English, so it’s easier to chat with the other—few—travelers. The exception is the capital of Georgia , which is already—and rightly so—quite touristy. Obviously,…

‘Meeting people on the road is always easier when you are alone. This time I didn’t do so well though. Before arriving in Cornwall I visited Bath and Bristol. I made a stop in Salisbury that turned out to be a brilliant tactical move. Due to my ignorance, I thought it had something to do…

My interesting acquaintances while traveling often included other travelers. Sometimes even people living in the place I visited and even immigrants. Meeting expats in Miami was the most interesting thing about my days there. I had also gone there to visit my friend Tania, who introduced me to both her mom and sister and their…

This is a verbatim account of some of the funniest evenings that have happened to me while traveling, in some cases they are also big travel oddities. Like the time I found myself dancing on tables in a Scottish dance hall, or when I lost a dinner, bet with a Korean girl watching a soccer…

Especially at one time, I had an easy time traveling knowledge. Even in big cities that, experienced as a traveler, I found electrifying because of the many things to experience and because, if you have limited time, you have to plan well. And, as mentioned, several times in this blog, I like to plan. Not…

I had the opportunity to visit New Orleans the year before the disasters of Hurricane Katrina, one of the most devastating in history. I wrote this story on the occasion of my 2004 solo trip to the US. Of New Orleans, the atmosphere is very nice; if you walk around the non-touristy streets, everyone you…
