This week I came back from a 2½ week long road trip with a friend. The whole trip was improvised, without fixed plan or destinations. Almost every day we were moving on, but in very small steps to be able to also see a bit of the places we visited. We mostly hitch hiked but [...]

1. Israel & Jordan for Christmas & NYE
2. Egypt to Jordan (Dahab to Petra)

Yesterday I met a traveler that just arrived to Tarifa a few hours earlier. This 26 year old guy from Holland, Stefan Le Belle, told me that he is walking from the most southern point of Europe’s mainland, which is here in Tarifa, to the North-Cape in Norway. He is doing this both as an adventure [...]

3. La Tomatina – the worlds biggest food fight?
4. The mathematics of running into people again

This weekend was full of small random adventures. It started with me going to Cartagena, not knowing anyone there and never having been there before. Before the weekend was ended I had 7 new good friends, done trekking, cliff jumping, tried fishing octopus with hands (a friend managed anyway ;o), went into a military base [...]
