    Remembering the 1989 Romanian Revolution

    September 5, 2019 /

    “I saw the struggle my parents faced raising me and my sister. If you can imagine, every day from 4.00 p.m. until 7.00 p.m. there was no power. It was 1986, and I had to do my homework with a small candle.”

    The Challenges Facing Romania

    August 15, 2019 /

    "…it's a struggle for the people that are living here, especially the older people that don't have relatives to look after them. Most of them will seem grumpy all the time. But if you look beyond that, you can tell that it's not because they are mean or anything; it's sadness."

Are you wondering why someone would vote for Donal
Are you wondering why someone would vote for Donald Trump for president?

.
Or are you wondering what “conservative values” in America really means? 
.

If so, have a watch of my interview with Jon Finley, a conservative American voter from Tennessee, who explained why his faith and values have led him to support Donald Trump for President in 2020.

Have a watch at the link below (working link in bio)!

Did you know that, in Moldova, there's a "country that doesn't exist"?

Winter dragged on, but the snow retreated into the North, leaving behind a bleak and muddy Moldovan countryside. February probably wasn’t the best time to be visiting by bike; after a few cold and exhausting days (and an attempted roadside robbery) I trundled into Chișinău, where I’d be hosted by two locals, Alex and Marina.
.

60km from Moldova's capital lies a bastion of Soviet architecture and influence that has clung on while the world around it changed. Transnistria (aka the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, aka “The Country that Doesn’t Exist) declared independence from the rest of the country in 1990, sparking a war that went on for two years. The border is now manned by Russian peace-keepers, whose arrival put a stop to the fighting in the ‘90s. So, before I continued South to the Romanian border, I hopped on a bus to check out the “little USSR” for myself.

Have a watch of my cycle journey through Central Moldova at the link below (working link in bio)!

Did you know that to be officially classified as a glacier, a body of ice must be a minimum of 0.1 square kilometres (or 25 acres)? 

Adishi Glacier is one of the last barriers between Georgia's Svaneti region and Russia. Stepping onto it from the side of the valley was like walking into a freezer; in the space of a couple of metres, the temperature plummeted and I was enveloped in a blanket of icy air.

It's an alpine glacier (as opposed to a continental one), so it flows very slowly, tearing rock and soil from the mountainside, shaping the walls of the valley, and leaving scars on the mountain slopes as it inches its way downhill.
