Traveling in general

I have seen some part of the world. I did long backpacking trips with very low budget, stayed with locals, ended up in weird situations, was scared in dangerous environments.

I also traveled in business class, stayed in 3.000 usd a night villas, met top / famous people, ate at fancy restaurants.

Traveling is all about experiences. It can be on any extreme side as well. I enjoy them and each of them is a new learning.

I also love sharing my experiences. That's the reason I published a travel book, have been a co-author in two, written lots of travel articles for magazines and newspapers, talked about travel on TV and radio, and given motivational speeches about travel.

And now, I also do it in private, which means we have all the time to talk, and you can ask the things you are curious about.

So, come over and let's talk travel!

Note: This listing is for casual chat about travel in general. If you want to receive travel consultancy on a specific topic / destination, please choose my other listing.

One of my favourite travel memories is about: how I found myself in a funeral ceremony in Gabon invited by the candidate president of the country
Few example questions you may ask me to start the conversation: Will you travel all your life? How do you finance your travels? Which is your favourite country? How did you start traveling? Do you have an interesting story to tell? Were you robbed in your travels? When do you think we can travel again after covid-19?
Type of people I prefer to chat with: openminded
Topics I prefer to chat about: traveling to difficult destinations, local cuisines
