Singapore
After living as a student in the island-nation in 2022, Manuel Campos revisits Singapore as a tourist four years later. He used to complain a lot about the city when he was studying there, has he changed his mind now?
Timor-Leste
Few people know about the existence of this country, and those who have heard about it have probably never been there. Timor-Leste, despite being the youngest country in Asia, escapes globalization in a unique way.
Around the world in 28 days
Manuel sets off on a journey to make a full tour around the world in just 28 days with a limited budget. In his odyssey, he deals with a diverted flight in Bosnia, being stranded in Bahrain, a tsunami alert in Japan and a near death experience in a remote island in the Pacific.

Cordelia was never interested in Jordan, nonetheless, her experience made her change the way she understood the region. Don’t miss her insights in our first article in French ever!
Sri Lanka
The teardrop of India ended up disappointing me in a way I had not expected. Tropical beaches, incredible train rides, amazing food…but sometimes bad interactions and scams can ruin entire trips. Learn more about why we do not recommend visiting Sri Lanka.
El Salvador
The little Central American nation is no longer known as El Salvador but as “the land of Bukele”. This eccentric president has completely changed the country from being one of the most dangerous in the world to becoming one of the safest in the region. How did this happen? Where’s the catch? Manuel Campos ventures into El Salvador in its national day to explore the ins and outs of the Bukele regime.
Puerto Rico
Home to the best Spanish-speaking artists in the world, Puerto Rico continues to live a bizarre situation from an international law perspective. Is it a sovereign country? Is it part of the United States? Manuel Campos covers the “Puerto Rico dilemma” in this video in Spanish. Dive in the land of endless beaches, deep rainforests…and Bad Bunny.
South Baltics
Sometimes overlooked, Latvia and Lithuania have a lot of stories that are worth learning from. Joan embarks himself in an adventure across the East of the continent to discover how war destroyed the societies of the region and how to assure it never happens again.

Article available in Catalan as well!
Okinawa
I was never interested in Japan. After visiting Okinawa I might have turned myself into its biggest fan. I was forced to visit the small subtropical island as a “long layover” and I ended up biking across the countryside under a storm while investigating one of America’s biggest military bases. Did you know that 18% of Japan’s Southernmost region belongs to the US Army?
Armenia
Armenia, a legendary nation that predates most of the countries that exist anywhere on Earth. The very first Christian nation, a titan of the Southern Caucasus. That is what I had in mind before traveling to Armenia, nonetheless, I was met with a nation in decay, an identity in ruins and a blindfolded territory that has suffered the fall of the Nagorno Karabagh to the Azeris like a mother that has lost her children.
Zagreb
The capital of Croatia hides well the legacy of the Yugoslav leader Tito…right? David Carrasco shares with us his impressions on the Balkan city and his tour across the Yugoslav legacy of Zagreb. From the Austro-Hungarian times to the currency change in 2023, David’s article is worth reading!
Turkmenistan
One of the hardest countries to get into. A country as mysterious as its marble-built capital city. Dictators, deserts, hospitality and the Hell’s Gates. Enrique García tells us about his experience traveling the “North Korea of Central Asia”.
Brunei
Small and unknown, Brunei had all the components to call my attention. Contrary to many travelers’ experience, my experience was 10/10. Shoutout to all the Bruneians who helped us in our way to Malaysia.
Northern Norway
After finding an unusual cheap fare, managed to fly to the Norwegian Arctic circle for less than 90€ to see something that I had been wanting to see since I was a kid. Know more about one of the most isolated placed on Earth.
Western Sahara
Manuel Campos ventured into the largest non-autonomous region on Earth in order to know more about the Western Sahara conflict and get to know the real situation of the territory. Sometimes, deserts are not inspiring but sad representations of war.
Oman
A weekend in Oman’s particular capital city seemed the right thing to do in the middle of July, right after his visit to the UAE. While he was expecting a similar ambiance as in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, Manuel Campos was surprised by Oman’s particular calm and made him rethink his opinion of the Gulf Countries.
Zacatecas, Mexico
It’s not Northern Mexico but it’s not Southern Mexico either — Zacatecas the gate between radically different parts of the country. Off the beaten path for most tourists, Zacatecas brought some distant memories to Esteban Castro. Friendly locals, excellent food…check out our first article from North America!
Palestine
Probably the most troubled place on Earth. A trip which had to be done in order to learn from the horrors of war, ethnic and religious discriminations and human rights violations. Three intense days that changed the way I perceive the conflict and left me conflicted with myself.
Vilcabamba Valley
Hidden in Ecuador’s high mountains, a small community away from the pollution of any bustling metropolis is said to have the secret for living a long and healthy life with several residents being over 100 years old. We embarked on a reckless adventure in the middle of the pandemic in order to learn more about how life unfolds in Vilcabamba. A hike through the Andes we’ll never forget.
Cyprus
Cyprus is a peaceful island located at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. Its mild weather, pristine beaches and delicious food attract thousands of tourists each year.

Ukraine
While the Russian invasion is still ongoing and the threat to millions of Ukrainians is still present with daily shellings that kill thousands of innocent civilians, some non-Ukrainian travelers dare to cross the border to discover how life is unfolding in Ukraine. Read our stories.
Georgia
Georgian culture is one of the world’s richest. Its history, its food, its people, its traditions — it is hardly matchable. However, its political stability is not as strong as its heritage. The ongoing Russian occupation and the protests of March 2023 are deeply changing the Caucasian country. I crossed the country from one tip to the other in order to learn more about it and found multiple surprises. Don’t miss it.
Southern Kyrgyzstan
When people come to Kyrgyzstan, they either visit the capital city of Bishkek or take a tour around the mountains. I decided to visit the most impoverished — yet interesting part of the country. Also, it is the birthplace of apples! My last stop of my biggest trip ever and my last video for a while.
Uzbekistan
I had been wanting to go to Central Asia since I was a little kid. That dream was accomplished the time I landed on Uzbek soil. Started my trip at the theatre and ended it at the cradle of radical islam. This trip will stay in my heart with me forever.
Taiwan
The Portuguese named the island of Taiwan “the beautiful one” for a reason. I had mixed expectations before going and I was surprised…for good. Great people, unexpectedly good food and bizarre yet interesting sites.
Hanoi
Cold in Vietnam!? I know it sounds weird but it was actually chilly. Truly sensing a different climate changes your perception of the place you are visiting. My views on Vietnam after having previously visited the South changed drastically.
Chiang Mai
I found Chiang Mai to be quite boring. I don’t know if it was because I had a very bad cold or because the city is objectively boring. Temples, temples and more temples. Still, I was able to reunite with some good friends.
Laos
Honestly, what is going on in Laos? Why nobody knows anything about it besides it is another Southeast Asian commie country? I was too curious to let it pass. My trip was like a rollercoaster — full of ups and downs, but it was definitely a great experience.
Western Australia
When I had the chance to fly to Western Australia I knew that if I didn’t take it I would have to wait ages to be able to go. Without a car or an adequate budget for a trip to the most isolated city on Earth, I had the best time ever.
Bali
Yes, we all know what Bali is about. An island colonized by Westerners that come to enjoy a healthy, cheap and tropical life away from their boring countries. Nevertheless, is Bali really worth it?
Ho Chi Minh (Saigon)
Probably one of the most iconic destinations in Southeast Asia. Vietnam is full of stereotypes and “legends”. Is the country still a strict communist dystopia? I traveled to the country’s South to know more.
Palawan
Yes, El Nido is a true paradise. Although it was the rainy season, we were lucky to see most of the important places around the area. Exotic, wild and laid-back.
Cebu and Manila
As part of my short tour of the Philippines I visited two of the biggest cities in the country. As a history fan, I could not have enjoyed more my visit to both cities. My visit of the remnants of the Spanish colonial legacy led me to an unexpected haircut.
Kuala Lumpur
I took a bus from Singapore to the vibrant capital city of Malaysia. Traveling with friends to these places makes it even better. Tall buildings, colossal mosques and temples in caves.
Kerala
I had always been interested in this intriguing Indian state. It never stopped raining and we were caught in severe floods. Kerala is pure history and mystery.
Andaman Islands
While bored looking at the world map, we found these Islands hidden south of Burma. We had to check them out. Perhaps the true definition of “paradise”. Beautiful beaches, amazing sunsets and no tourists.
United Arab Emirates
The scorching heat and the COVID regulations put our resistance to the limit in the “country of innovation”. I’ll come back, but certainly not in summer.
Moldova
As the war was raging in Ukraine, I decided to check on its neighboring country — Moldova. Putin has also threatened to reach this country and the airspace was closed for a long time. How are people holding up? Check the vibrant capital city of Chisinau and the interesting autonomous region of Gagauzia.
The Arctic
An exhaustive search of cheap flights took me to the Arctic Circle for just 30€. I wasn’t ready at all for the stunning landscapes, nor the crazy frozen mountain where I almost get in serious trouble. North Norway is really an experience.
North Morocco
After my traumatizing trip to Marrakesh in February, I decided to give this country a second chance. I travelled across some of the most important cities of Morocco by train together with my cousin. This time I really enjoyed the North-African country.
Lebanon
Good food, amazing temples and great people. Although this middle-eastern country has gone through a lot recently, it still has lot to offer.
Southern Balkans
Perhaps the most intense region in Europe, for sure the most interesting one. We backpacked for one week around Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Kosovo and Albania.
Bosnia (Srpska Republic) and Zagreb
The alarm of a possible new war in Bosnia has been set off by the media. I traveled to Banja Luka, the capital of the separatist region, in order to see the escalation of nationalism by myself.
Finland and Estonia
Amid the raging tensions in Eastern Europe between Russia and its neighbors, we went on a trip to the freezing Gulf of Finland. First, Helsinki, then a ferry to Tallinn and finally a train to Narva, the Russian-Estonian border.
Marrakesh
What was meant to be a relaxing weekend in Morocco turned into hell. I was assaulted in the streets of Marrakesh. Here’s the full story.
Istanbul
The largest city in Europe and probably the most diverse. I went from Europe to Asia by metro, cool huh?
Sinai
I spent 10 day in January 2022 participating in the World Youth Forum in Egypt. I gave a speech in front of the president of Egypt and enjoyed a little bit of Summer in Winter
Lanzarote & La Graciosa
Mars on Earth. Probably the most stunning landscapes in all of Spain.
Napoli
I traveled to Napoli to try out the allegedly best pizza in the world. Also, I rediscovered the city in winter – castles, fancy streets and more!
Bulgaria
Started in the fancy coast of the Black Sea in Varna and hopped in the 8-hour train to the capital, Sofia. Bulgaria really has it all.

From the ex-Yugoslavian streets of Podgorica to the Hanseatic buildings of Gdansk. My weirdest weekend ever.
Luxembourg and West Germany
A quick trip to the country with free public transportation and the birthplace of Karl Marx.
Gothenburg
A weekend trip to the hidden gem of Sweden. Lovely streets, free waffles and calm after my trip to The Gambia. Watch my vertical video!
The Gambia
A week in the smallest country in continental Africa felt like a month. Scams, monkeys, wildlife and a lot more. Four videos and seven different posts up now. Check them out!
Lille and Amsterdam
Following cheap Ryanair tickets, I ended up in a bizarre trip. Lille is better than what you expect. Also, I had to “illegally” cross Belgium in order to get to The Netherlands. Just one more COVID-19 trip.
Northern Italy
July 2021, my friends and I were supposed to go to Morocco on a trip which got cancelled two weeks before due to COVID-19. We had to figure out a new trip and the idea came in. Milan, Verona and Venice, their names speak for themselves.
Corfu
Also known as the “Green Emerald”. It had been in my checklist for a while. Definitely the most unique island in Greece. Birthplace of many members of royal families around the world. You won’t believe its beaches.
El Hierro
The least populated and visited island out of the main seven Canary Islands. The southernmost tip of Europe Also referred to as the “island of the end of the world”. In just two days I hiked the entire island. It turned out to be one of my best adventures ever.
Cambodia
I volunteered in Cambodia for three weeks back in 2019. My wildest trip ever. The real start of my odyssey.
