The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence… isn’t it?

We all have something to look forward to (one way or another) at the end of the day. Some people’s dreams are bigger than other people’s dreams but this doesn’t make them less than the rest, it is just that we all have different views and priorities in life.

A major mistake we all make as humans is comparing our achievements with others’ achievements forgetting in fact the reason why do we do what we do.

From a very young age my parents taught me that I needed to be good, not to fight, and not steal. That I had to study, go to school and be somebody. They wanted me to have a name that would

The Ghost of Al Qudra Lakes

After a long flight from New Zeeland, on a fine morning, I got a message on my messenger. I never bother replying strangers, especially not at 2 a.m., but this stranger was interesting. He was a photographer from a photography group I was a part of. I was surprised he contacted me, so I became curious to see what he wanted since I never had the nerves to post any of my pictures on the group. After a bit of small talk, I was asked to join for a shoot for Milky Way in the desert. Politely, I refused since I was busy with studies – my favorite thing to do those days.

A pant-less ride in the beautiful New Zealand

I heard New Zealand was a wonderful place. In every corner of the world you find beauty but the way it is preserved in New Zealand, it is totally different from the rest of the world.

After an eventful day that we all had, seeing the Hobbit movie set and the Glowing caves, we decided to explore the remote areas of a beach. There were no phone signals, internet access or shops. As we drove with a former police officer through a scenic route, we also saw some dangerous serpentine's chasing the grounds as fast as a Formula One race car. This also made realize how fast we were driving. I felt like I was in a shoot of a Fast and Furious movie. The drive led us to an empty beach.

A Reckless Visit but Worth the Risk at Se Cathedral, Sao Paulo, Brazil

After a full day tour of several attractions, a bit tired and concerned that I have been pushing myself a bit too much, I thought of returning to the hotel. On a second thought, I decided that it might be a good idea to go to the Se Cathedral since it was on my list of places to see in Brazil. I was warned that the area around is not the safest. I was stuck between exhaustion, concern and excitement.

I decided to still go, I mean come on! I have been around the world by myself. A neighborhood cannot come in my way!

Turkish Hospitality Taken to a Whole New Level

The long wait to my holiday came to an end when I finally boarded the plane, last minute, to my most anticipated trip to Istanbul. As if I had never travelled before, I couldn't hold my excitement. I felt like jumping up and down, and I'm pretty sure it showed on my face.Hungry, tired, with a cabin bag held in one hand, while trying to munch down the pizza I bought last minute, I make my way to my seat. I could see people looking at me, but I wasn’t sure if it was because I was constantly smiling or because I looked ridiculous. Least bothered about all

the eyes on me, I made my way to the seat thinking of Istanbul and seeing the Blue Mosque; I had been dreaming about it for more than ten years.

The Malicious Plan of the Tiger and the Entrance of the Demon

Knowing that he was under observation, the tiger was very careful about how to play with his prey so he does not lose it. Very sweet and caring at all times, the tiger acted as if he was really interested in conquering the tigress. Behind the scenes, he was probably planning on how to slaughter her instead. Nothing was worth more to him than making sure that his plan is achieved to his best abilities.

Even though the tigress was cautious, after so much care and attention from the tiger, she fell for him. Months of wait and play followed, and the two enjoyed each other’s attention until it became more and more difficult to give up on each other. Deep inside, the tiger knew

The Eyes of the Tiger

In a place full of mystery, where everything is from another era and where the time seems to have a plan of its own, I was seated on an antique sofa, and my eyes accidentally intersected with the eyes of the tiger. For a second, the clock forgot to tick and everything around vanished, like a ghost after spooking someone. It was the longest second and it made me tremor. If I was not seated, I would have fallen off the sofa.

There was no need for words because the eyes of the tiger were so vicious that a shudder ran down my spine each time they lay on me; as if he was ready for an attack but holding his ground, waiting for the right moment to hunt his prey. I was just preparing myself mentally for the tiger’s attack. Frozen, with loss of movement or ability to think straight, I wasn’t sure how to face the tiger’s eyes. As if possessed by some spirit, I was desperately trying to get away from its claws.
