Happy New Year, y’all! Another year, the same cadet! The bad 2023 was a geopolitical mess and has shown us that media literacy, critical thinking skills, and international cooperation are needed more than ever. I posted my two cents about Israel-Palestine a couple of years ago. My points remain very firm on this. This has…

Other things to do in Suriname and things not to do
In this overdue second part of Suriname, aside from Paramaribo, I will go into the details of where we had the most “screw-ups” on our little trip. My two companions and I are rather experienced travellers. We’re not extreme ” Every passport stamp” type, but we have all been to roughly 60-80 countries each. Still,…
Yugo-nostalgia! My ranking of capitals from former Yugoslavia
It’s not a secret that I love the Balkans. This region is one of my most beloved regions worldwide. It’s also the region where I have the most experience comparatively. I technically live where the Balkans begin. Although the question ” Is Slovenia a Balkan country?” is quite triggering to many, getting to the topics…
Happy ADHD awareness month!
Hello fellow cadets! I am not dead, nor have I quit blogging. I just had to take a hiatus from blogging and anything else. The last two months have not been very easy on me. I have been dealing with depression, trauma from being physically assaulted while on a trip, the loss of a close…
Israel and Palestine Resources
The last couple of years have shown us that just anybody on the internet thinks they are legal experts, medical experts, epidemiologists, and now lately, this, of course, has come to International Relations. Everyone and their mother now thinks they can solve the issue with Israel and Palestine. Then, of course, you have your usual…
How to handle being sick while travelling alone?

This place is the centre of Vietnamese culture and life in the Czech Republic. Many people might notice that if they spend more than a…
A summary of characters you will find in every Expat group online
One thing that I have become well acquainted with over the years of living abroad are these Expat groups on Facebook. They also operate on other platforms are well. The primary purpose of them is for foreigners, expats, immigrants and anyone else to share information and ask questions. Sometimes these groups can be quite helpful,…
The cadet’s travel wishlist for 2021
Hello from lockdown! I’ve been dealing with a rather strict lockdown for the last 2 months. I basically spend my time doing my online jobs, trying to make my step count, and promising to work on new skills but ending up watching 90-day fiance instead. I’ve tried to post more back entries and drafts, but…
A survey of lockdowns
My spaceship has not have had so much use this year. I’ve traveled far less in the last 6-7 months than I have in years. Currently, in Slovenia, we have a surge in cases. So this means that we cannot leave our city and have a 21:00 curfew. Everything nonessential is closed except we can…
