A 40-meter high, 14-story apartment complex - erected in just 51 days. A construction boom in the Russian capital has been going on for years now. In 2017 the government decided to tear down communist apartment blocks (infamous for shoddy construction): around 4,000 buildings from the 1950s and 1960s are being replaced with modern high-rises. A politically significant infrastructure program - the pressure on construction companies is high.

February 2017 saw me embark upon a travel expedition through Scotland, Poland, France, Mexico, Belize and, (alas! ), back. Not only was it the first time I ventured out to Central America, but also the first time I seriously pushed my bravery boundaries to do a whole lot of things I'd never tried before. I defeated my life-long fear of scubadiving and skydiving, (the Carribbean vistas do help! - No danger I'd do that again in Aberdeen), I went zip-lining over a Mexican jungle, I tried habanero-packed streetfood, (failed at that miserably), and organic tequila, (managed that better;), I climbed a Maya pyramid in the middle of a Belizean rainforest and fed hibiscus flowers to a very extravagant donkey. Most importantly, however, I got to know some incredible people - from shamans, wanderers and artists to refugees, businesswomen and expat cowboys. And thanks to aaaall of that, I also got to know a little bit more about myself for visiting the most remote corners of our planet reminds you how different and yet how similar we all are. I'm looking forward to sharing my incredible experience in 5 exciting episodes of our travel series, which really turned out to be a Dream Journey:) I simply cannot wait for more!

In a single decade between 1979 and 1989, half of all Africa’s Elephants were lost to the ivory trade. For the next decade the trade lay dormant and African Elephant populations began to recover. But a new crisis was brewing, fueled by demand for ivory particularly in China where a demographic and economic boom had taken place. Between 2002 and 2011 Maisels et al (2013) estimate that the world’s forest Elephant population was reduced by 62%. Our research estimates that the number of Elephants killed for their ivory between 2010 and 2012 was 100 000. The demand for ivory in the far East is the primary driver of the killing. In the four years up to 2014 the wholesale price of raw ivory in China tripled, reaching a per kilo dollar price of $2100.

When we think of free- dom... of harmony... of beauty... of nobility... of strength... of speed... we think of horses as a reference point...
