ecuador_peru

The panamericana between Quito and Lima paves its way through some of the highest mountains in the world, passing by active volcanoes and unpretentious hamlets.

lofoten

In the arctic circle, between Kiruna, Sweden, and Svolvær, Noway, the Lofoten archipelago is full of stunning fjords and kind people.

iceland

I've always wanted to do a loop around Iceland by car, stopping whenever
you feel like, following hours and hours (and hours) of dirt and gravel roads.
The rainy, black beaches and endless volcanic sceneries then really felt like we'd
reached the end of the world.

nyc

I was given the chance to spend two weeks in NYC to participate in a student-run UN project in 2008.

iran

Iran is different from anywhere else I'd been before. And I've learned to understand a lot more about the world by being exposed to this completely new environment for me. It's a beautiful, beautiful place - and it teaches you to look twice.

uganda

I worked in an AIESEC-funded high-school project and volunteered in a London-based NGO in Kampala for several weeks before travelling to Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania.

rwanda

A brief glance at an atrocious piece of history.

burma

There is really not much choice on how to travel through Burma (or Birma, or Myanmar), or at least there wasn't when I was there in 2003. But, in spite of all the restraints on where to go and what to do, the country's natural and architectural heritage is one of the most impressive I've ever seen.
