"Try crossing the Namib desert on a vegan diet. You’ll turn back before the first day has gone, desperately hungry and searching for the nearest vegan restaurant—nowhere to be found. You’ll face a choice: Do I want to cling on to this utopian fantasy of what’s "natural," or do I eat the delicious food nature has already provided in abundance".🌍
A vegan diet is often branded as the most ethical and sustainable diet—but my travels tell a different story. From the Amazon to the Andes, here’s why veganism is disconnected from nature 🌎
I started to write on substack, here is my latest article: How Travelling Exposes Veganism as Antything but Natural 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Join me in Potosí, Bolivia, known as the deadliest city in the country due to its perilous mining history, as we dive into the rich traditions of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). This journey begins at Potosí’s central plaza, where I explore its fascinating past as one of the wealthiest cities in the world in the 1500s, before Spanish colonisation led to an infamous extraction of silver. It’s said there was enough silver mined here to build two bridges reaching from Bolivia to Madrid and back!
After uncovering Potosí’s historic legacy, we delve into the heart of the Day of the Dead festival, experiencing local customs firsthand. At the city’s cemetery, we join Bolivian families celebrating with unique offerings, exploring the symbolism behind each one. Here, I taste a variety of traditional Bolivian foods, learning how these offerings connect to honouring the deceased. Discover how Potosí’s rich history and present-day traditions merge, shaping a powerful and culturally rich celebration of life and memory.

In today’s video: The Immigrant Experience | A Journey Through a Cultural Melting Pot I explore the theme of immigration. Immigration is an increasingly debated topic. USA and many in the countries in the EU grapple with increasing immigration skepticism. Yet, at the same time, they face a demographic reality, a shrinking workforce, mixed with an aging populations isn’t exactly the recipe for future prosperity, just ask Japan.
Yet more and more western politicians seem to be reaching for one of the oldest tools in the toolbox. Blaming all issues on the foreigners.
Immigration isn’t a new concept—it’s a necessity. And nowhere is this more apparent than in countries built on immigration—like the United States... and Argentina

As I drove along the roads of Argentinian Patagonia, I came around a corner, down a hill and in the middle of the road stood this beautiful pair of foxes.
I slammed my breaks and quickly grabbed my camera. The foxes weren’t too bothered about my presence, they looked interested at me, one of them even got closer to the car.
It reminded me of experiences I had, had driving through Namibia back in 2017 (See Thirsty African Bush Elephant). Only difference being, back then the attraction was a an elephant not fox. Both are beautiful animals in their own might. The Fox barked at the sky as if it wanted to tell me something. Maybe it was hungry...?

It's early morning. The first rays of light hit the sky above my tent. I grab my camera. I open my tent. I'm not tired! I'm full of energy! Energy from the sun that has decided to put on an absolute spectacle for me this morning. It is morning glory.
This photo is taken at sunrise by my camp on the shores of Lake Cochrane in the heart of Chilean Patagonia. 🌅

GM Nostr! Here is another one of my favourite photographs and the story behind it.
It is moment like these that make me love hiking and camping in the wild. The solitude and time to reflect. Just myself alone with nature. It is raw, at times it is tough, just as tough mentally as physically, but most of all it is beautiful. This photo is taken at sunset by my camp for the night on the shores of Lake Cochrane in the heart of Chilean Patagonia.
