Dutchies just keep riding I have been living in the Netherlands for a month now. You know me- ever so curious and analytical, I observed and studied the Dutch way of being. This article will focus on the positives. I will not address my endless bureaucratic jams, because nobody wants to read that! The conclusionContinue reading “The Netherlands”

To get to the Azeri border I have to change 3 marshrutkas and at the end take a taxi. Thankfully I meet a lovely lady who is an English teacher and she finds a cheap taxi for me. The taxi even stops so I can exchange my last lari to manat. No commissions, no scam.Continue reading “Azerbaijan”

We had booked couchsurfing in Basse Terre, Deshaie,Continue reading “Guadeloupe”

I knew if yesterday was a lucky day, today something ought to go wrong! Boy…was I right? I woke up not being able to move my neck sideways at all. It is such a pain.
