Regardless of whether you ended up having seven days on Easter Island because of choice (smart one, by the way), or because of flight windows (as was my case), you would have more time...

Our Random World / The Netherlands

For a couple of weeks in 2017 I was in the Netherlands, neither a tourist nor just in town for meetings. I had the opportunity to switch offices, and work with colleagues there for...
I guess it’s pretty typical. You tend not to see the tourist attractions of your own city, because you take it for granted. I mean, I’ve been to the famous Batu Caves temple in...

A procession approached us, headed to Varanasi’s burning ghat, while we were drinking our chai. It was a group of people surrounding a smaller group of pallbearers. On the litter that they bore was...
Varanasi. Benaras. Kashi. Anandavana. Rudravasa. Avimukta.* Arriving in Varanasi Varanasi hit me like a ton of bricks. I had braced myself for the intensity of movement, of very many people in a very small...

There was a little cafe in front of the meditation place in Pokhara, where I was instructed to go to for my sound therapy session. Umbrella Cafe was a hippy sort of place, with...
It dawned foggy and cold, on the day we aimed to reach Annapurna Base Camp. There was no mercy from Annapurna. It was still drizzling. The monsoon was unrelenting. In no particular good humour,...

Yes, folks. This is the morning that supplied the image on the banner of this Page. I suppose I'm biased, but I still firmly believe that I've got the best morning sunrise at Ahu Tongariki.

Female Asian/Muslim travellers from the more conservative sides of the world have our specific hesitations about solo female travel. And yet, here I am - and how?

Women Breaking the Glass Ceiling in the Travel Industry
Support these amazing women-owned travel businesses that empower women in the travel industry to break the glass ceiling arou...I personally prefer being hosted by a local woman, ideally from a rural or otherwise still connected to the local traditional background.
