Home sweet home
There is a Hans Christian Andersen statue in Malaga. One city where he was a couchsurfer.
Hans Christian Andersen is mostly known for his fairy tales. But he was also one of the greatest travelers of his time. And a real Couchsurfer. He never had a permanent home. Large parts of his life, he lived for free in peoples houses and castles. Making him a 19th century Couchsurfer. Long before anyone had thought about that this would one day be a common thing to do among travelers.
Selfie stick photo 40 000 feet above the ground.
After a few months of looking at other people using the selfie stick and after meeting a guy who was very creative with his selfie stick, I decided to get one 3 months ago. It has been a fun ride so far. Just remember to think a little on how to use it. And not to use it.
Cycling mexican pilgrims.
“If you are going by bicycle to Puerto Escondido today then you will meet many fellow cyclists”, says the receptionist at my hotel. I’m a little surprised to hear that comment as I have so far only met a handful of cyclists when cycling from Mexico City to Oaxaca. The mountain road from Oaxaca to Puerto Escondido is not a very used road from what I understand.
I soon learned that there is an annual pilgrimage to the small mountain town of Juquila . These days most of the Mexican pilgrims do that 2×200 kilometer trip by bicycle.
