Travel

Encounters with people and the discovery of regional peculiarities are the focus of our travels. Research often leads us to a second level in the story, providing historical, scientific, social or political insights. If you are just looking for information on a particular destination, you should definitely enter via the countries page. Then everything we have ever written about a country is presented, no matter how absurd, such as the Icelandic leader sheep or the eating habits in the Japanese Kabuki theater.
