This need of approval is a major obstacle in our lives. How many times were you in a situation when you didn’t do something, or did something just to be praised? Just so you were accepted, even though it was against your principles/wishes. I feel stuck. Lately some situations caused me to rethink my goals [...]

New project
You may recall that I mentioned a couple of days ago that changes are taking place. One of these changes is starting a new internet project, and yesterday it was launched officially. The project is BookHurricane which stemmed from my love (some call it obsession) for books. Therefore, since I read a lot (by some [...]

Failure
Dear all, I have failed you. Back in the day I promised you that I would watch all the movies nominated for the Oscars. Well I tried, I really have. But as you know things don’t always go as planned – there’s even that saying “how do you make God laugh? plan something”. I will [...]

Why I want to see Hawaii
Whenever I hear Paradise, Hawaii comes to mind. Islands, volcanoes, surfing, hula girls, beaches, pineapples – what’s not to like? Since it’s a VERY sunny place, my heart yearns to be there. I’ve heard that flying there takes A LOT of time, but luckily I can entertain myself (watch a movie, read a book, sleep, [...]

why not hate editors
Recently I contacted the team behind OrdinaryTraveler when they posted, let’s call it an ad, on Twitter, looking for guest posts on Africa. After a short debate (should I write/should I not write?) I took a leap of faith and sent them a message, explaining that I’ve been to *then conflict-free* Egypt, giving them a [...]

Why?
You (my trusted readers) may or may not have noticed that I posted a new category, along with the it’s-time-to-change-the-theme-for-your-blog resolution. I found this really cool theme (after hours and hours of searching, but hey, good things are not always easy to find, eh ) so probably for the next year it will stick. But [...]

Reasons I want to see Thailand
So lately I’ve been surfing the net, reading (with a growing amount of envy) the travel blogs of fine men and women who dared to dream and got out into the world. Inevitably I stumble on one destination that seems to be an all-time-favorite: Thailand. True, I haven’t heard a lot of things about this [...]
