I send an S.O.S. to the world, I hope that someone gets my message in a bottle.

The State of World Travel
They say that one picture is worth a thousand words. I want to portrait the state of air travel at the beginning of the year 2021 through the pictures that I and my wife took in the airports we visited on our trip from Singapore to Switzerland in December 2020. There is still a long way to go before mankind will be able to experience mass travel again.

Chronicles of Coronavirus
As more and more countries implement social distancing policies to try to contain the Coronavirus epidemics, some news websites estimate that today, more than a billion people are at home. Since this unwanted guest made his way into our houses, we are forced to rediscover life in a confined space. Today I start my chronicles from confinement. It is a way to defy boredom, reach out to the outside world and share what happens in this part of the world. These are difficult days, but we will overcome difficulties and who knows, maybe learn something from all this.
