Bangkok, Surat Thani, Ko Samui, Ko Chang
Golden roofed Wat Po, monks in orange fabric, hippies and Vietnam War veterans mixed in Khao San Road. The first time for me, world history came to live with personal stories from the war veterans who stayed there. One of the first trigger points for my journalistic career.
Agadir, Marrakesh, Essaouira, High Atlas Mountain Range, Mirleft
First time Africa. First time to see poverty and misery. Hitchhiking through Morocco, mixed with annoying public transport experiences through the Atlas mountain range. Eating Tajine in the market square of Jemaa el-Fnaa. Enjoying dried figs on strings and mountains of sugar in the Maghrebi mint tea.
