Continue reading →: Japan and I: An Unlikely ConnectionJapan was an explosion of unique experiences, from queuing up admirably to get on the train in the metro station to sampling unbelievably tasty street food and, cherry on the top, karaoke-ing in the back of a van for an audience I will fortunately never see again and vice-versa. And…

Continue reading →: Smile – You are in JapanThere are many things to say about Japan, and hopefully I can get my thoughts together to tell you the whole story of my two-week experience in this very peculiar country. Some things in Japan, though, leave you pretty much speechless, and so I decided to let the pictures lead…

Continue reading →: The spark that set the fire in South Africa – in We Said Go Travel magazineAt the beginning, it was a wild dream. South Africa revealed to me at first through the accounts of travellers or adventure novels I would read late into the night. It seemed a mystic land, a place like no other and, at that time for me, completely out of reach.…

But on a rainy day in the middle of Belgian October, it promised to be a great gateway from work and city life, with sun, sea and blue sky.

Continue reading →: Highlights of Sumatra – on G Adventures BlogI did not know what to expect when I booked my trip to Sumatra, Indonesia. It was the first time I was setting foot anywhere on the Asian continent and I’d say I was looking more for nature and animals than I was big cities or famously overpopulated beaches. I knew…

Continue reading →: India is not for sissies“You have to go to India. Once.” The man next to me, a travel companion, laughs devilishly as he says this to me, as if he is sending me straight to hell. When I announced that I was going to travel to India, another far-away friend typed back: “India? What’s happening?…
Hello,
I’m Silvia
Explorer of the Everyday started out as a travel journal (on paper). I was very lucky to see some very special places at one point in time, and as I was opening my eyes to them, I felt the need to record as much as I possibly could. I didn’t want to forget any of it. So I wrote down what I saw, whom I met, how travel and discovery made me feel, took pictures with a heavy camera strapped around my neck (no iPhone then) – and the journal turned into a blog.
My stories have always been just that: personal experiences in different places of the Globe that were sometimes funny or awkward or scary enough to share and yes, incite one to travel and embrace the unknown, as well. I am an influencer in that way, writing stories, not lists, to keep the flavour of where I have been and pass it on.
If you’re happy following me on my journeys (whatever form they may take in the future) and if you enjoy my writing, hop onboard. Maybe there’s something for you to discover and get inspired about. Feel free to comment!
