This blog isn't just about Monaco, the nicest country on earth. It's about anything: travel, fun, food, people, animals, photography, and much more. I would like it to be a place where people can come to relax and enjoy some reading and photos.
If this is your first visit, please click on 'Read more' for some essential information.
My big passion is travel photography. Wherever I go, I take my camera with me and come back home with thousands of photos. I do travel a lot - it's a big and meaningful part of my life. In fact, I've been traveling extensively for the last 19 years, and I plan to keep on traveling for as long as I can breathe. I want to share my trips with you: the images of a place, its atmosphere, people, etc. I don't tend to write lengthy travel reports - a good batch of photos is better than thousands of word, right? So, the primary focus of this blog is travel images, although there are many other small and big topics I'll post on now and then.
I must admit that I don't intend to write anything about my personal life. There are so many other topics to discuss. :-) By the way, politics is boring, so, most likely you won't find this place the right one to discuss it.
A friendly reminder: this is not a place for bullies or rude people. You don't always have to agree with everyone, but this can be done in a civilized manner.
And, oh, English isn't my first language, so please be nice and don't pick on me if you spot a mistake, miTSake, or mYstaCKe. Nevertheless, the language of this journal is English. Please keep your posts in English only. For those of you whose native language isn't English, it's a good opportunity to practice it in this journal.
One more thing: the photos you see in this blog are taken by myself (unless stated otherwise). All my images are COPYRIGHTED in The United States Copyright Office (Library of Congress). When I find any of them used without my consent, I'll send you an invoice. It's only fair, isn't it? If your website is non-commercial (for example, it is a personal blog/journal, or a non-profitable website), and you absolutely can't live without my photos, you may copy them into your site, but please do that ONLY with the live link to this journal. The same goes for my posts - you can quote them with the link to the original text. Thank you. If you need any of my images (hi-res) for commercial use, please contact me and we'll discuss the licensing.
