10 Years ago... Snowboarding
10 Years ago I had my final ride in Freeride snowboarding, the sport I had given much of my early adulthood too, I had reached a semi professional level, sponsored by a European freeride snowboarding company, and I spent the most of my winters touring across Europe to compete in the Freeride World Tour.

Driving from North to South in Portugal
When my friends and I decided to book a trip to Portugal, we had a hard time choosing where we wanted to go. The choice between a city trip in Porto or Lisbon, or spending a week at the beach in Algarve was a hard one to make. Instead, we decided to cover it all. Cities, small fishing villages, and many opportunities for swimming in the atlantic ocean. We spent 10 days in Portugal and we visited in September. I recommend bringing warmer clothes alongside your swimgear and summer clothes at this time of year. Below you'll find our itinerary with tips and tricks along the way.

Forget the Snow: Why Your Next New Year’s Should Be an Aussie Summer
If you grew up in the Northern Hemisphere, New Year’s Eve probably makes you think of thick coats, scarves, and trying not to freeze while you wait for the clock to strike midnight. But down here in Australia, we do things a little differently. December 31st is right in the middle of our summer. So, instead of hot cocoa, we’ve got cold drinks. Instead of snow, we’ve got sand.

Business Class Passenger Jailed for 20 Months for Stealing Another Person’s Bag. AI-Generated.
Air travel is often associated with convenience, comfort, and a sense of security—especially in premium cabins like business class. However, a recent court case has shattered the assumption that crime is less likely in elite spaces.

Six Fishing Holes America Forgot (But the Fish Didn’t)
There are two kinds of fishing in America... The first kind is loud. It comes with branded hats, social media angles, sponsorship decals, and an audience. It happens on lakes everyone already knows, at times everyone else has marked on their calendar. It is efficient, optimized, and frequently filmed.

Echoes of the Solitary Reaper
Amid the golden waves of ripened grain, Beneath the vast, unending sky, She moves alone across the sunlit plain, A figure framed where earth and horizon lie.

New Year’s in Tbilisi
New Year’s is huge here. Georgians celebrate Orthodox Christmas on January 7, so the New Year’s is the first in the string of holidays. The Old New Year is celebrated as well on January 13, a good remnant of the secular Soviet tradition.
