First, thanks so much for all your lovely comments on the video. And a special thank you to adnohr who read my novel and liked it. I start feeling that I'm really going places. Today, except for bogit is not a day of writing, only reading. The reason is, that I'm far too nervous and the reason for... Sign in to see full entry.

Some time ago, I happened upon this travel job of a lifetime. I'm still not 100% sure if this is for real or just a scam, but as they didn't ask for any kind of sensitive information, I thought, why not? Let's give it a try. First step however is to submit a promotional video of yourself, which... Sign in to see full entry.

The sinking refers to my guide to galicia. It's slipped to about #10 and I won't win the competition as the front runner has about 200 votes and I have 20. But, I'm happy like pig in "charco".

Two days without writing and I have withdrawl symptoms. In fact I have been busy preparing my visa application for a 6 months stay this time. I won't bore you with the details, but among other things it involves an interview at the US consulate in Istanbul. So, on the 24th it's back by coach to... Sign in to see full entry.

Thank you, thank you, all of you who have supported me, commented on and even bought one or the other of the two books. It can´t get any better than the support and help I have found here, more I must say, than from any "live" friends I have, because at blogit, we are all the same, moved by the same...

Got the Galicia guide done, dusted and published. Frankly, because of all the technicalities, it was a nightmare, but here it is. If you feel kindly inclined towards me, please take a look and rate. You don´t need to spend any money, you already know what´s in it, but with your help, I might have a... Sign in to see full entry.
