Hey everyone! Just wanted to give some news, for those of you who might be wondering where on earth I could be in the midst of this pandemic. Unsurprisingly, I am where I have been for the past six months: Ecuador. More precisely, I am in Las Tunas, a small coastal village where, as you

The Road and me

6 June 2019 Sowanders

That’s it, time to come home after over a month on the road. (technically, I came home a few weeks ago already, but I wrote this back then so let’s just pretend okay?) This time, my old companion took me to Italy, Denmark, Germany and Poland, the occasion for me to visit some friends we

Hello everyone! I hope you embraced the joy of being with your loved ones for the holidays and that you survived the commercial fury of this period of the year. There’s no need to remind you that 2018 has come to an end and was replaced by 2019. I may be a bit late, but
