Tripping in USA with Viro was the title I gave in July 2004 to a kind of newsletter in which I informed my friends and relatives of my U.S. adventures. The trip lasted three weeks, was solo and using public transportation. This is the route I took from my google maps. It was a time…

I soon became convinced that traveling by working is no picnic. And maybe it’s not traveling either. In theory, the main reason for my presence would be to improve my English. There were also English people in the factory, but pace and noise did not help dialogue. Also because most were unschooled and had very…

The really strange thing about this trip happened to me while visiting Luang Prabang. What is rightly considered the most beautiful city in Laos, I already liked just because of the name: how many places have rhyming names? I was also intrigued by Luang Prabang’s signature dish(Or Lam ): it’s a soup of meat, lots…

The wonders of the world have always been discussed, so much so that both ancient and current wonders are officially recognized. In this article I will discuss those that are for me. Especially the reasons why I consider them to be so, which are very personal and related to subjective emotions. Seven Wonders of the…

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…

I mention it in this blog because for many people traveling is doing it while working, and we often hear idyllic accounts. In reality, it is never all that easy, or…

I had long had a trip 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…

Getting lost in the closed shopping center happened to me right at the conclusion of an otherwise very uneventful trip. My favorite city in Croatia is undoubtedly Split, the one that told me nothing about Rijeka. Two unpleasant events happened to me in both, but perhaps the one in Split was worse. Fine in Split…

Eating in Bolivia is another activity for which some care must be taken. That said, while the suburbs are rather dire and run-down, the centers of the main cities I won’t say clean, but they are certainly tidy. Here, with more traffic, the exhaust fumes can be felt, and in highland cities, like La Paz,…

In The Worst Journey of My Life Part 2, I obviously pick up the story I had interrupted in Part 1. In these two podcasts I tell in my own voice about the traveling oddities that happened to me in Cuba. I reiterate that the culprits were us who went clueless and careless. In particular…
