The Art of Revolution
My introduction to Cuban art was a surprise. The first mate and I were in Havana on a flying three-day visit to Havana having left our boat — our home — in Cayo Largo on Cuba’s south coast. We’d arrived there from Grenada via Bonaire and Jamaica, sailing west then north across the Caribbean Sea, 1300 nautical miles. Even in the air terminal art was everywhere to be seen, and during our month there the art turned up in the most unexpected places.

What I Learned from Travelling as a Digital Nomad for 5 Months
Whilst I have technically been a digital nomad for the last three years, i.e., living in a country where I don’t hold any working or residency visas whilst making money online, it was only this year that I fully lived the experience. I spent five months travelling through Turkey, the Netherlands, and Germany, whilst teaching English online.

Rome Travel Guide
No, this is not your typical guide where I’ll tell you that a fanny pack might not be your style but it’s mandatory in Rome (it is, but… hey, your choice). This is not your grandma’s travel guide of must-see destinations – yeah…please go to the Vatican City even if you are not religious or Catholic. This is too epic to pass up.

Racism In Africa Towards Non-Blacks Ghana Quietly Leads In Xenophobia & Discrimination
Ghana for many seems to be on the travelers bucket list, the country has some beautiful coastline and beaches. For many staying within the country for longer notice the racism and xenophobia, especially in housing and employment. Most is towards other Black Africans. Yet many Asian and Lebanese are victims and this leads them to stay away from Ghanians.
