Next trip to Andalusia, Iran, followed by Armenia - both in May. Then Germany and, if all goes well, Siberia, Lake Baikal, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan - in August.

Wenn ich nur darf, wenn ich soll, aber nie kann, wenn ich will, dann mag ich auch nicht, wenn ich muß. Wenn ich aber darf, wenn ich will, dann mag ich auch, wenn ich soll, und dann kann ich auch, wenn ich muß.
Profile pic: March 2008. On the Camino to Santiago, as a pilgrim, on foot. I am in Getaria (Euskadi), with Juan Sebastian Elcano, the first man on earth to circumnavigate the world (Magellan died in Mactan Island in the hands of a local chief).
Traveling allows me to explore my bohemian self, which rarely gets let out of the box. I wish I could do it more often, but when I do, I want it to be full of new experiences!
