Nobody loves me – SMOKE Jazz club
Remember when Renata was invited up to dance when we visited the New York Jazzclub SMOKE and stayed around after most people had left? Here’s the video evidence that it actually happened. Along with some sweet music. Top quality unexpected randomness.
Friendship at its best
Hanging out with Richie is always easy. We’re eating cheese and playing GTA V. And I’m being introduced to new tunes and videos, as always.

Nightdrive through Mexico City
Welcome to India
Safe and sound, my mother and I have arrived in Kolkata (Calcutta) in India. It’s raining – but it’s as loud, crowded and colourful as in 2010.

my passport 2005 – 2013
A quick run through my old passport that has been joining me since I started travelling five years ago. I had to renew it as I only had two pages left for stamps and will be travelling soon again. Receiving the new, empty, modern passport felt like starting from scratch, like rebooting the system. What’s next? What now? Was that it? I don’t know.
After speaking to friends who’s biggest obstacle to travelling is the whole process of standing in line for, applying for, paying for, waiting for and hoping for a visa, I have become increasingly thankful for my EU passport that opens doors of trust in most places. Truth is, I’ve only had to apply for visa through an embassy for three of the 38 countries I visited since this passport was printed. Thank you, Sweden.
A drive to the essence of Sweden
I’ve got Sunshine
One thing I certainly have got is yet another set of beautiful and random memories. Like this one, when Den was telling me the story about a funny self proclaimed magician in the New York Subway. It’s just a detail, but it demonstrates perfectly how easy it was to spend time with this fantastic girl – pure sunshine.
Good night!
VIDEO: The larvae terror
Not for sensitive viewers, here’s the video showing the extraction of the baby bot fly larvae that were planted on me and nurtured off my flesh for almost a month. A very exotic experience I would say, and surprisingly harmless. Read the story here.
The simple things in life
“Out of the simple things in life, the rather insignificant ones – things are inspired”
Many things were inspiring about Tinashe, his struggle against rhino poaching, his voice, his natural eloquence. But most of all, Nash inspired with the love and interest he had for the most simple of details in life, for the human mind, for nature, for friendship.
The video below is from when Nash dropped me off on the road where one catches a ride to hitch-hike over the border to Botswana. The sun was rising, and the waterfalls in the distance had created their own little clouds, their own microclimate. “Very fascinating,” he said. Fascinating indeed.
Happy birthday, Nash.
