  • Animal rehabilitation – how it should be done!

    “I will not leave money, property or fame for my children when I´m gone. I will leave them something much more valuable than that – a forest full of animals that they and other people can enjoy.” — Orlando Zagazeta I found a center for animal rehabilitation that does exactly what it says on the…

  • My interview for Correo Semanal, Peru – El turista talibán

    For you spanish speaking folk, here´s an interview I had the pleasure to do with Gino. 🙂

  • How to do all the things you want, without breaking yourself

    Do you have a list of things you should be doing, but are struggling to? Do you want to do many things that would make you feel like you´re achieving something, but you just can´t see the end of it and end up feeling tired, lazy or like you´re not achieving much? I know where you´re…

  • Routine

    I was stuck in a routine last two weeks. Bad huh? No, the opposite. I like my routine. I own my routine, it doesn´t own me. I created it the way I like it and filled it with things I want to do. It´s MY routine. The word “routine” is almost always associated with a…

  • Karma

    “Don´t treat others the way you don´t want to be treated”.–embedded in every part of the world. People get freaked out when they hear the word “karma”. They think about some deep religious meaning, that someone is going to try and make them a monk, that they will have to shave their head and grow…

  • Galapagos on your own

    So you want to do Galapagos on your own? You should read my “Galapagos is not Disneyland” post first to make sure this is the right choice. It is? Great. No need to book anything in advance (I was there in September, not the main season), except the flight – booked just over a month…

  • Galapagos is not Disneyland

    I´m going to be a bit negative about Galapagos here, reason being, I don´t think that people know what they´ll get and go there with huge expectations. I also don´t think that Galapagos should be visited by tourists who don´t really care about animals, nature and preservation, who don´t know or care about endangered species…

  • Airport sleeping

    It´s not for bums. It´s actually a thing many people choose to do, including me. Why? Let me explain. Why would you choose to sleep at, what ultimately is, a massive bus stop? Hm, maybe because: it´s free (need more than that?) there´s plenty of food around it´s closer to your flight than any other…

  • Friends

    How many friends do you have? Hm, that´s a lot. Now how many actually give a shit about you? Yeah, thought so. Many people go for quantity, rather than quality. What´s the point? It´s like collecting stamps that you don´t really care about. Requires effort, but you don´t get anything back. Is it selfish to…

  • Mr Nice Guy

    One for men, although could be interesting for you girls too. During my travels in Thailand, I had more time to think about myself, things I like, my strengths, flaws etc. I´m going to focus on one specific flaw or personality feature that I don´t like about myself. It´s Mr Nice Guy attitude. You know,…
