Basque Country 2. Greek islan…

I only managed to find a 5 second TV logo i…

My favorite travel story – I fell in love with a dog in Tbilisi Someone once asked me what was the most romantic, poignant, heartbreaking thing that happened in all my travels. I told them the truth – once upon a time, I fell in love with a dog in Tbilisi. I was sitting on a bench, and she walked up to me, large and shaggy, looking a bit like an Airedale terrier mix with the sweetest eyes. I had no food on m…
