Trip to a ‘non-existing’ country…. During a trip to Moldova in eastern Europe I visited Transdnistria: a country that officially does not exist.

Design, fish and… rain… Visiting Goteborg in November is NOT a good idea! Lots of rain and it is dark most of the day. People here say “there’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes” and they are probably right. Kids wear [...]

Remember…. My family from my fathers side is of Jewish descent. 53 of them did not come back from the concentration camps in the second world war. In 2002 a group of survivors of the holocaust, family members and others participated in a memorial trip [...]

Double Dutch…. Holland may be small (if you drive fast for two hours in a straight line, you are in a different country!), but with nearly 17 million people, it can get quite crowded. Amsterdam is a truly international, but still village-like city. make sure [...]
