Welcome to our travel site!

Why are we travelling and writing here about?

The world is changing fast. On the place of a forest yesterday we see only palms today. Suit-wearing papuas leaves a shack with an attache-case. He drives a car and goes to the office. An englishman do just the same. Everything gradually becomes similar so the unique things that are still left have the most value nowadays. We're travelling and writing about this, trying to catch the tail of a moment. We're willing to show that our world is still diverse and magnificent in its diversity. We want to see our planet like a thin lace or a web where all threads are joined together in harmony. Our world consists of many interconnections, beneficial and harmful. We are willing to realise what is the common between any societies and what is completely different. We invite you to join us!
