Movements in the World and in the Mind
It is likely one of those moments I’ll always remember when someone would ever ask me: "where were you when you heard the news?" I was at home and hadn't gone to my regular hot yoga class and I got a message from my dear friend Rick and fellow Funk Fanatic from Lowlands country. ‘Sweetie, Prince... Continue Reading →
After a pleasant winter and some very mild days at the end of February it seemed that spring hat arrived on the Rock and it was here to stay. In Lowlands Country language we have an expression that literally translates as: March wags its tail. It means as much as: although‘officially’ the weather should improve... Continue Reading →
Tonight and what will be tomorrow morning for people in my part of the world, the 88th Academy Awards ceremony will take place. It’s a big circus for the film industry and related sectors. This year there has been quite some controversy because no actor of colour was nominated and therefor some actors of colour... Continue Reading →

Cali: City of Salsa After the mystical surroundings of San Agustin, where I spent my time at a fabulous hostel on a green and pleasant hill, I travelled to Cali via the same bendy, partly unpaved road to Popayan. Cali is the salsa city of the country and perhaps of the continent. The city itself... Continue Reading →
It has only been two weeks since I left Ecuador from Quito, but having been in Colombia my equatorial adventure feels like an eternity ago. The distance between Quito and the Colombian border seems tiny on the map, but map-distance can be deceiving as it took 5 hours from Carcelèn bus station to the border town... Continue Reading →

Pacasmayo Eye Candy, Herbs & good Vibes Pacasmayo is a chilled town with a small pebbled beach and good swell and where there is decent swell, there tend to be fit surfer dudes.... Continue Reading →
Roaming Peru After the North Coast culture dose came the cyber space silence, while I enjoyed the Andes chill of Caraz, got caught up in the Disney-Land vibe of Cusco, did some serious hiking in Colca Canyon near Arequipa and attempted to meet deadlines in the sleepy beach town of el Chaco. After the South... Continue Reading →
