My weekend in Bucharest in September 2024 was improvised and decided at the last minute, and as with my first time it involved a not-so-happy story, but this time I went alone. Relationship in crisis We had been together for a few months, but for a while already I had not been satisfied. I had…

Welcome in Jordan is the greeting I received very often on the street, from complete strangers in Jordan. It is the emblematic phrase of one of the friendliest people I have ever dealt with, but as are all Middle Easterners. It was a solo trip made in August 2014, lasted 8 days and I moved…
