    Exploring the abandoned fair of Nabeul

    I enjoy strolling around with my camera and discovering places that are a little off the beaten track. This place sparked memories of the abandoned airfield in Battambang as well as the old fun fair in Yangon. I was roaming around the beach when I found a door leading me into the abandoned fair of…

    Last weekend I strolled into the alleys of the old town and investigated the Medina of Nabeul. I took the opportunity this weekend to head to the beach of Nabeul.

    My trip comes close to the end already. Things turned out a little different than they were expected to. Yesterday I was summiting Acatenango. But let’s get back to where this started.

    Art and night walks in Guatemala City

    Semuc Champey was beautiful and at the same time a spot that everyone passes through in a rush.
