How To Fix Our World? Lessons Learned On The Road
New year, this time the Gregorian variant, is time for reminiscing and making promises to be broken. For us, it is a day just like any other day. We celebrated it by cleaning the house just like we did at Christmas. When you celebrate only a few days, you make all the other days feel less important. We choose to celebrate every single moment with the same intensity. Although humanity is pretty much a lost cause and the easiest fix would be our rapid extinction, there are some things we can do to fix our world.

The Best Travel Books
Our two favorites in travel literature are Jet Lag’s Molvanîa and Will Ferguson’s Hokkaido Highway Blues . Molvanîa travel guide is an excellent parody of travel guidebooks. Molvanîa is a fictional country, “untouched by modern dentistry” as the book describes. It is, of course, situated in godforsaken East Europe, which is a most convenient base for mythical stories. The book is a rare treasure among travel literature’s usually dead-serious genre.
