The question of the purpose of social media and blogs came to mind very often during my solo trip to Malaysia and Singapore in the summer of 2026. Probably because, due to a knee injury, I had to take it easy and didn’t get to wander around as much as I usually do. But also…

I had warned all my acquaintances about my idea to travel to Thailand solo. On the day of departure, I went to work in the morning. When I said goodbye to my colleagues, they recommended I be careful, but that they were certain I would have a good time. I told them about the previous…

I made the travel to Thailand and Cambodia in July 2015. Not the perfect time, but the only one I was allowed, and it went well. It lasted two weeks, and I did it solo. I met and made friends with many people, of these only one Italian and right at the last since I…
