Scavenger Journalists and the Sweetened World

Imagine a similar photo in Las Ramblas in Barcelona. A child carrying another child in her arms, dead, while her sister cries by her side. do we publish it? And now let's think about other photos. ¿Aylan? A dead child on a beach. A baby, rather. lasts too. Were there refugees drowning in the Mediterranean before him??

Old and bearded: a week on the island of M

M. I forgot your name, so I'll call her M. This time it wasn't my fault, M spoke little, just enough, It would not have been easy to remember her even if we had spent six years together. M was a middle-aged woman, arisca, who economized his words and gestures. Now that i remember, I'm not sure M told me his name. Sharpening the memory a little more, I'm not sure M said anything.

Cancun: life is now

Because I am sorry, but those of us who write in Vap also do these things. The adventure and the dust is all a farce and in reality we are some beach tourists. But in this damn city-highway drill they have hidden the sea and they don't plan to release it so easily until you loosen a few dollars as a ransom.

The cognac of Miami

Saying openly that you don't like the US can be cool. Puts you in this egocentric traveling world of social media, where it is presumed to be mud, in the platoon of interesting travelers. Few would think of criticizing a trip to an African town, a village in Nepal or one of those Central American villages where roundabouts are the best tourist attraction. It does, Even if you barely left the hotel you slept in and lock the door when the sun went down (much better if you slept in a tent) everything was fascinating.

Jane’s Fales, watercolors Polynesia

n a larger fale, rectangular web without lateral, Jane served breakfast every morning while the rays of the rising sun were spreading over the surface of the water. The rest of the day was pulular: stroll along the beach, go to the church, find hermit crabs and remove the house to see how seeking another or sit on the cyber cafe to chat with the Swiss couple who had left everything to settle in the vicinity of Jane.

The dying person was cared for by their relatives at home. Cuando fallecía eran los más cercanos los que en el velatorio realizaban el P'O'Keban.

Twenty streets to enjoy Stockholm on foot

The first thing I did nothing more than set foot in Stockholm, after 18 hours I got on a ferry from Helsinki, It was walking. There we were dragging suitcases up Stadsgardshamnen, savoring the pleasant feeling of knowing a stranger, flirting with the bewilderment of groping a city to discover.

The Ten Commandments of tourists in Africa

Travelling to Africa for the first time is not easy. Some are tempted to rush out and tumble as myths and darken the horizons idyllic. But those who resist that fleeting impulse remain forever tainted by the evil of Africa, that passion for the continent, stripped of prejudice, it forces you to return again and again and, the most daring, to stay.

Argusino: the people claiming their souls

I spoke that their land was flooded by the waters of a dam a few decades ago by order of the authorities and that her memory of all the exiles a gap remained and now, using media, They intended to close. Some elderly people died voluntarily or sadness, they were given no option to remove their dead from the cemetery and gave them money that unilaterally decided the expropriating company.
