CHAPTER THREE

Akchour

Akchour

We traveled through few cities; in this order: Casablanca, Rabat, Sidi Slimane, Chefchaouen, Akchour, Nador, Fes, Meknes, Rissani, Merzouga, Marrakesh and Casablanca again. Sometimes we  traveled with Amine and Oussama, sometimes on our own. The experiences were amazing, memories were incredible and vast.
When Amine said we are going trekking I didn't take him seriously. I had my snickers, remember? And when he showed me the pictures from the place we are going to I got cold feet. Shit. I really need shoes. Shit. I can't even hike, what the hell am I doing in here?
At the end it was alright. I certainly had lots of fun with the group. We did only about two hours long trek to the waterfall and another two back. The waterfall was, well, a waterfall. I liked it, but was too tired to enjoy it. And I was cold. And tired.

CHAPTER TWO

Morocco.

So we have reached.
And we are still alive. But I feel so ashamed. Never I went on a trip so unprepared.
I have been moving from country to country for almost four weeks now therefore carrying the same suitcase. However I am in an Arabic country at the moment and I come with a fucking suitcase, have no idea where I am going to or what I will be doing. I didn't even Google up where Morocco is on the map, nor checked the weather. Since we are mainly going North and I expected Africa to be hot (!) I got shorts and bikinis with me. Ha Ha!
On the other hand it was more fun this way since I had no expectations at all.

I am rich. Because I travel.

Prepare to get dirty

Backpacking – the cheapest, but also the most dangerous way of traveling.


People often ask me how can I afford to travel so often and whether I'm rich. I am rich indeed. I am rich with experiences, memories and new friendships.
I am very surprised that my friends think I am a big traveler. Maybe comparing to them I do travel a lot, and even though I don't think I'm visiting very exotic countries I suppose I am doing exotic stuff there. I'm meeting locals, I am taking the dodgiest and cheapest buses, I talk to people on the street, I eat with families. Not everyone does this.

CHAPTER ONE

Up in the air again

Woke up at 5.30am to take an early flight yet to another destination. Coffee, hangover, excitement, and a bag of smelly clothes. Yet another great trip in front of me, yet another eventful day.

You know that feeling when you suddenly get very scared because your life is in a great danger and you get this rush of an adrenaline in your blood. I feel similarly; I feel a travel adrenaline, as if high on drugs. I'm high on excitement. I lost the feeling in my finger tips; I stroke my hair but cannot sense it. I am not cold,  I don't mind the rising sun behind the aircraft's window bothering my eyes. I am not tired and I don't feel regret.

Living in the air

Few tips on how to travel with low budget airlines.

Traveling is way too easy these days. And if you think it's an expensive hobby you are very mistaken. Visiting, mostly the European cities, can be done on a very low budget. You can go for a weekend getaway, date with your partner or simply travel on your own. First rule is to plan in advance; that way you won't be spending too much. We got a vast variety of low cost airlines available to us.
Next step is to find a cheap hostel, or even better- try couchsurfing (and the point is not just to stay somewhere for free, it can be actually very rewarding too! You meet so many new people, gain both good and bad experiences.)
The pain in the ass are those low budget airlines such as easyJet, Ryanair, Monarch etc. Indeed you can get a very good deal on the tickets but at the same time it can be a fucking hassle. Baggage restrictions, rushed boarding at the last minute, not even water offered on-board. A friend of mine recently flew with Ryanair and had to pay 60euros because his suitcase was just a tiny bit bigger than was allowed. Fortunately I never had any problems but then I do travel like a pikey.

3D awesomeness in space

Quiet, tranquil, endless. That's space.

The film Gravity precisely captures all of the aspects we usually lack in space movies. Once you leave the atmosphere of the Earth everything becomes very, very quiet. And deadly. And unimaginably cold. Not all the directors however take this into account. 

That's why I loved the movie. For it has precisely pictured the laws of physics yet done it in the most beautiful way.

Almost perfect UPDATED

The show was suppose to air two weeks ago.  But it was worth waiting

Fox is starting a new series called Almost Human. The pilot episode was aired yesterday night and tonight we can be expecting the second part.
