Impressions de Voyage

Traveling is my oxygen. I need it. Constantly.

Be it for work or for pleasure, and I mostly mix both, traveling to me is so much more than just taking the plane to a different location. It is in fact one of three (3) essentials that I absolutely need in my life. With travels I keep dreaming, learning and finding out about new things and re-discovering old ones.

My bucket list of countries to be visited is still long, even though I have been to the five continents already. I am working on shortening this list as much as possible ;)

Let me quote here a favorite: "To stay is to exist, to travel is to live". I am not sure who its author is. What matters to me is that it really sums up how I feel towards traveling: I don't feel alive if I had to remain in one spot. The world is mine to explore and check out.

Saint Augustine said it beautifully: "the World is a Book and those who do not travel read only one page". So here comes my invitation to you to join me and delve into the pages of my Book.

Brazil... Relaxing And Always Enriching

2023/06/09

When you say Brazil, most people immediately think of football. Which is indeed a big thing there! But the sub-continent is so much more than just that!
It is paradisiac beaches, coffee, fashion, music and culture, various industries, and so much more!
In this series, I will post pictures of my trips there. Because I have been visiting the different regions since 2005 and there are still so many others to explore ✈️
