Valparaiso is the best street art city in the world. That’s a bold claim from someone who isn’t in the art world in any shape or form, nor have I gone to all the cities in the world that graffiti artists mark...
One negative thing about the efficient Dutch public transport network – it made me complacent. I thought I should go to Delft on my final weekend in the Netherlands, since it’s supposed to be a really charming Dutch city. Besides,...

I remember learning how to weave palm leaves as a child when we were on a holiday in Goa. I enjoyed it so much my poor dad had to keep getting me fresh palm leaves for the next couple of weeks. It was an interesting craft and quite soothing. We used it to provide makeshift roofing for shade.
You know how bloggers from modernised countries exploring other cultures write about how travel exposes you to people who are outstandingly generous, hospitable, spiritual, etc. etc. and it expands you? OK, here's the update from the other side. The reverse way is also true. If you *are* from a generous, sincere, or some kind of good and true place, travel also exposes people who for some reason don't know how to deal with that.

![So, what’s in my travel toiletries bag? The bathroom is one of the places where plastic and single use packaging dominates. I’ve been steadily swapping them out for reusable, refillable, solid, or compostible alternatives and while I have some tweaks planned to this, this is where I’m at. [swipe for the items I’ve yet to switch out]. See how much better the well made things look! And compare with how crappy the disposable things look... Which ones would you want to try out?
