The Moscow Metro (Subway) in images
The subway system in Moscow, the Moscow Metro, is not only highly well-organized. It has a set of stunning stations. If you’re visiting Moscow, it’s worth spending half a day in the metro. Go from station to station, and look at how incredibly beautiful it is.

Baltic States, Art and Coming War
During my stay in Vilnius, I was shocked by how present the threat of war is in the Baltic States.
While traveling, it’s amazing to see how the world looks so much different depending on where you are. Speaking to people in Berlin or in Paris, I had not the idea that Europe is heading for war. But the conversations I had with people in Vilnius, Lithuania, were giving me a much different view.

Saint Petersburg
A (too) short stop to Saint Petersburg is next on the travel that brings me from London via Beijing to Hanoi.
Vilnius, with Valentyn Odnoviun
The Baltic states were pretty unknown to me. I looked forward to my first visit to Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. She didn’t disappoint. The first post about this charming little city, but definitely not the last! Famous photographer Valentyn Odnoviun as my guide to visit Vilnius.
This leg of my Trans Europe and Trans Asia project brings me from Poland to Lithuania.

When Kennedy came to Berlin, he spoke the famous words “Ich bin ein Berliner” and Reagan called out Gorbachev here. I’m outgunned by the history of the city when trying to give my impressions about my passage here.
I’m in Berlin as a stop on my Trans Europe and Asia projects, after a stop in Cologne.
