There is something extraordinary about waking up in a place you have never been before. A new shore, a new horizon, a new story. Sometimes, all it takes is a single glance at the sea for a person to realize how many worlds exist beyond their everyday routine. Perhaps that is why some journeys stay…

VOICES August 2026
This month of July wasn’t my first one in Skopje so I thought I would be able to handle the heat this time. I was right. Yet it was still hard to fall asleep. But heatwaves aren’t kind to everyone. Since the beginning of the month I saw plenty of animals in pain. How can…

DO NOT THINK
Did you know that Cwmbran has the most roundabouts per square kilometre? It even got recognised by the Guinness World Records. At least that is what Google’s A.I. tool is trying to make you believe and all of that is just based on one article written by Ben Black, as an April Fools’ joke, as…
