Moments Together (Friends)

Roman (Czech Republic), Johana (Czech Republic)

Ever since I Left Finland, I had been a lonely backpacker and had been missing good conversations with people, and they “happened” intensely one day in Oslo.

César and friends, buenos Aires, Argentina, Aug 18, 2018

Buenos Aires was my last major destination in the Americas. By giving up on other smaller regions of interest, I could manage to spend a week in Buenos Aires.

It was brief but the initial connection with a lot of curiosity led us to get to know each other better the following day. Other than his intriguing current work, helping others become better Youtubers, his unique stories …

Reuniting with Brett with my Paraguayan friend Natalia. Brett and I first met in Panama.

He’s been my remote travel buddy with whom I could share the …
