What nobody shows
In this blog, I do not try to explain to you the journey in detail, but to summarize the experiences that impressed me most.

Do you dare to penetrate borders, taboos and prejudices with me? Travel across my writings, we will know together worlds where the prejudices have no place, the differences are an incentive and the unknown catches us!

Kilimanjaro (Kili), the summit of Africa
