Live in the present moment

We all thinking at the past. We all try to plan the future. But what we actually need to do is to live in the present. It’s hard. It’s maybe the hardest thing a human being can do. There is a study where people were given the option of either sitting in a room with their own thoughts for 15 minutes, or giving themselves an electric shock. 60% of men and 30% of women gave themselves a shock, ra ...

Tesla

I had this wallpaper on my laptop for years. This is the amount of time I also had to wait for this dream to become true. 3.5 years from the moment I put the order and 7 years since I’ve started to dream, to be more specific. I’ve started following Tesla in 2012, when the Model S was launched. Doing my research about Tesla, I thought the car is too good to be true, too advanced to get into the mark ...

Morocco

I think the best way to start a new trip is by lowering down your expectations. This is how I did before flying to Morocco. It’s good, healthy. The post title is Morocco, but I actually had the chance to visit Marrakech only, so I don’t know how accurate this content will be. It’s 20th of January. My first day in Marrakech. I sit down by the pool. The sun is rising towards the middle of the sky. There’s around ...

Vipassana Experience

The picture on the top is not just a picture of the sky. It’s a picture of the sky I was staring for hours after I got out from a Vipassana retreat. OK, what is Vipassana, you may ask. It’s a retreat than can last from days to months, where you are totally disconnected from the world: you don’t have access to internet, books, radio, tv, you are not allowed to speak to each other and you meditate about 12 hours/day. It’s  ...

Is it too far or too close?

Too far from what? Too close to what? When I moved out of London, I got this question so often, that I had to memorize the answer and say it over and over again: You moved to The Cotswolds? Isn’t it too far away? Too far away? I ask back. What do you mean by too far away? It could be too far from your world, your own bubble, but maybe it’s closer to mine. We tend to create our own bubbles and everything that is differen ...

cruise

Just cruising

My first cruise ship experience was as a photographer on Costa Magica. It wasn’t easy. A lot of work, not much to learn and selling the photos was a huge pain in the ass. I got out quickly and I said to myself that, at some point, I’ll get back on cruise ship as a passenger. That’s what happened this time. I embarked on Royal Caribbean‘s Jewel of the Seas. The itinerary was perfect: Puerto Rico, St. Croix, St. Maarten, Mar ...

Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is one of the biggest cruises hub on the world. That was the main reason why I’m here, right now. I’m staying a few nights here, before my departure to a 7 nights Cruise to the Caribbean. Puerto Rico, a Caribbean island and unincorporated U.S. territory is a nice mixture between north and south, between the new modern world and the old colonial heritage. Castillo San Felipe del Morro is one of my favourites ...

jamaica

Ya man! No problem

Jamaica is one of my favourite Caribbean Islands. You know why? Because of the people, because of the chill-out atmosphere you see and feel everywhere. Because.. Ya man, No problem. This is how they answer to any question. That’s Jamaica spirit in one world.

mexico

A few days in Mexico

This picture has been taken on a beach in Tulum. After my visit in Mexico, Tulum became my favourite place for sunbathing, so far. Of course, Tulum is just a tiny dot on the Mexican map. Mexico is huge, with a lot of places to visit. I had the chance to get to Cancun, Chichen Itza and a random Cenote, but I can’t wait to get back to see the rest. Se you soon, Mexico.
