U.S.E. for all uses

Action required

It all has to do with people's awareness, perception and values. Since the West guns don't answer Putin's invasion in Ukraine people must act instead. I'm joining a demonstration outside the Russian embassy tonight and next days I'll be hosting 2 Ukrainians who are now trying to escape the war as I type. Democratic Russians must be encouraged and supported to demonstrate against the regime that kills their present and future, our future. This vast country must finally leave the ghost of Stalin behind for good and find a common democratic pace with the rest of Europe. Way too long overdue but can't be postponed. Democracy was the thing that Putin hated the most about Ukraine. Lack of democracy is what makes Belarus his favourite pet. Wanna be his pet? Up to you.

I stand with Ukraine.

Dear friends in Ukraine,

It's never too late to share some old fun

 Yours truly never stopped playing music but in the late 90s I was hosted in a music magazine as the guitar player of a band who had just released their debut CD.

My map so far (and counting)

 Finally I managed to put most of the places I've been and written a story for in one map. Here it is, fresh as it gets before I even embed it on my site:

There's lots of trips left out, mostly places I've visited (a bit too) long ago before I started writing travelogues but it still includes a good amount of my travelling so far. Took me several days to finish as every single point has the relevant link. Some of you guys that we had the luck to meet out there might find yourselves in my stories.

Looking at it kinda feels like my mirror. If you see the areas I've revisited the most and the ones I haven't so far sideways speaks for my taste. Of course it's also a matter of what's easy for me to reach - I'd exchange some indifferent roads in Turkey for a bit of US West coast any day anytime but it's still fine. I have no desire to delete even the most indifferent bits of my travels so far, maybe just because there wasn't any. 

Safe rides and travels to you all!
