After the weeks in the Balkans, between fun kitsch of the cities and the imposing peaks of the mountains, it’s time ti hit back the streets in my hometown.

Noticed some some products strategically place nearby in Trump’s speeches. Do they have product placement now?

Afternoon full of meetings, should’ve asked for double espresso…

Post trip chores… Because photos aren’t magically copied and backed up into the hard drives…

SD cards

Airport snap, or the mixed feelings of returning home.

Neste périplo aos Balcãs a viagem foi 100% feita na Lufthansa. E com 100% desses voos atrasados, todos eles, incluindo aquele que perdi em Frankfurt. Bendita eficiência alemã…

“Known as hypostress, this form of stress occurs when we aren’t being challenged enough by our environment.”

When the route Google Maps gives your accommodation takes you through one of the most beautiful roads you’ve taken, going down a narrow and curvy valley for kilometers. That’s a good day!

A malta fala, e com razão, que os espanhóis enchem as ruas, mas os macedónios não ficam atrás: novos, velhos, famílias, esplanadas, bancos de jardim, gente por todo o lado, e zero turistas..

Crowd in the streets of Bitola

Love the vibes of Bitola’s Old Bazar!
