Off the Beaten Track in Serbia: Kalna Hippie Village

Image
We wanted to escape the high season in the coastal Mediterranean Balkan states and so were asking around for suggestions where to go. Upon this mission, we got into contact with Portuguese Vicente on BeWelcome hospitality exchange, which is a free alternative for couchsurfing , and got interested in the place where he had been staying on and off for some years. The place is Kalna in Stara Planina Mountains that run from Serbia to Bulgaria.

An Open Letter to Finland’s President Sauli Niinistö

Image
Dear Mr. Niinistö, I am deeply concerned about the current state of affairs in Finland. We left Finland in 2004 to travel the world. We have been living in 102 countries around the world, and travelled through countries devastated by the US, NATO, and Russia. The last three years we lived in Georgia , which is at war with Russia . There is a ceasefire agreement, but a peace accord was never signed. Russia – the second biggest arms exporter in the world right after the US – benefits from such instability.

Trans-Siberian Railway, Russia

Image
Travelling the trans-siberian railway all the way from St. Petersburg to Vladivostok, Russia. And visiting Voguls on the way. We started our Trans-Siberian railway ride from Kuokkaniemi, a small village situated near Sortavala and Finnish border in Karelia. The trip ended in Vladivostok near Japan and Korea totaling well over 10.000 kilometres. It would have been possible to do the trip in about eleven days, but we wanted to stop every once in a while and look around. We bought our tickets one by one, just to the next destination, and got this way a lot of experience of Russian bureaucracy, despotism of the police (militsiya), and the lack of any kind of logic in Russia. We knew right away that our Experiment would at least be challenging. In Santeri’s words: Russia should be avoided at any cost.

How To Fix Our World? Lessons Learned On The Road

Image
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. We figured them out on the road in 140 countries during the past 20 years .
