Deep inside Orhei in Moldova, nature is completely untamed. Ancient limestone cliffs rise 80 meters over the winding Răut River, where dense green oak forests meet golden meadows. Between hiking the narrow ridge trails, I stumbled upon ancient monk cells carved directly into the cliffs. Took a small chat with an old monk living there.

Fishing at Brooks River, Alaska, I met two fishermen far more impatient than me, and much hungrier. There, I watched two brown bears hold their ground at the waterfall, waiting for salmon to leap almost straight into their mouths. They splashed, missed, waited and tried again. Watching them was a reminder that life in the wild isn’t about getting it right every time. It’s about instinct, patience and knowing when to make your move.

The bears balanced on the slippery rocks, adjusting their footing as the water rushed beneath them. I remember thinking: with four feet, they’ve got an advantage over me, but even they looked one wrong step away from a swim.

The biggest and oldest bear wasn’t much of a fisherman. He struggled to catch his own salmon, so he tried another tactic: stealing fish from the other bears. Sometimes, apparently, it’s easier to let someone else do the fishing. I’m not much of a fisherman myself, so I could sympathise. But one thing is certain: however bad the fishing gets, I wouldn’t try stealing a fish from a bear.

World Cup 2026 - From football coming home to football going down.
Time to reflect after the final whistle. For me, one of the most insightful pieces written about the 2026 World Cup is by the football issues correspondent Dale Johnson's analysis for the BBC. Rather than focusing only on the football, he asks whether the tournament had become too big, too commercial and too controversial. His article highlights many of the same concerns raised here and is well worth reading for anyone interested in the future of the game. See the link below.

Into the spiritual heart of Rome, Italy. Perched gracefully above city’s iconic Spanish Steps, Trinità dei Monti is a stunning late Renaissance church that has watched over the Eternal City for centuries. Blending faith, history, and breathtaking views. This is one of the sites here where people stop for a while, reflecting and admiring the timeless beauty. Trinità dei Monti is a sanctuary of peace, offering a moment of stillness above the vibrant streets of Rome.

Lenin watching my back outside the Parliament Building in the capital Tiraspol. It felt like a living time capsule walking around in the this city in the breakout region Transnistria: broad, immaculately kept boulevards lined with imposing Soviet-era apartment blocks, public squares dominated by towering statues of Lenin, and hammers and sickles still proudly displayed.

To the untrained eye, Tiraspol looked like a monument to a forgotten empire, almost frozen in time. But as I walked past the grand, monolithic architecture, I realized that a place cannot be defined solely by its concrete or its political limbo. The true pulse of Transnistria wasn't in the bronze statues; it was in the people living beneath their shadows. As I crossed back over the river, leaving the time capsule behind, I carried with me a profound truth. Boundaries may define territories, but they can never confine the human spirit's capacity to hope, to innovate, and to thrive against all odds.

Stood in the front of the towering, crimson pyramid of the Eternity Memorial Complex. The eternal flame burned inside this huge monument and made sure that all the soldiers will not be forgotten. There is a sacred paradox along P. Halippa Street. Just outside the complex, Chișinău pulses with modern life, traffic, and the forward march of the 21st century. Yet, step inside, and the noise falls away. It takes immense collective respect for a city to preserve such a massive sanctuary of quiet reflection right in its beating heart.

My journey into the heart of Moldova’s Orhei region was a step away from the modern world. Leaving the main roads behind, the rolling hills of Vatici opened a way to admire an architectural marvel rising from the greenery: Mănăstirea Curchi. From a sacred sanctuary to a psychiatric hospital, and back to a place of divine peace, the Curchi Monastery is a living testament to rebirth. It's an Eastern Orthodox monastery in Vatici, Orhei District, Moldova. Home to country’s highest dome and designed by the legendary Bartolomeo Rastrelli, this architectural gem was reclaimed and reopened in 2005. Today, it stands as a breathtaking symbol of resilience, faith, and restored beauty.

My Orheiul Vechi tour in Moldova today brought me into a beautiful green and yellow landscape. Here I visited the Orthodox Cave Monastery (Mănăstirea Peștera), which was carved directly into a massive limestone cliff by monks in the 13th century. There I took a walk right inside the small, austere rock chambers. Met the old munk who still lives there and preserves the monestary. So I stepped out onto a tiny cliff, The Răut River Ridge, ledge for amazing views. The river below loops around the limestone cliffs here like a giant horseshoe, creating a stunning canyon landscape that dates back millions of years to the ancient Sarmatian Sea.

A trip to Transnistri, the independent breakaway territory tucked inside Moldova's recognized borders, felt less like crossing a geographic boundary and more like stepping through a portal straight back to 1989, or even longer back in time. My journey through this geopolitical time capsule really turned me on and made history alive more than ever as I have experienced before. While the rest of Europe move on, the capital Tiraspol lean hard into its mid-century aesthetic. Walking down the streets feels like walking through an open-air museum, but with a twist: it's a living, breathing city.

One of my most surreal personal experiences of going to Transnistria was wondering how I should pay buying things. The only option was using the Transnistrian Ruble, and then I had to exchange in a bank. Because the country isn't officially recognized, its money technically doesn't exist to the rest of the world. You can't use your Visa card, and you can't exchange these colorful bills anywhere else on Earth. Holding a handful of plastic, token-like coins or cash that is only valid within a tiny, unrecognized strip of land is the ultimate "I'm not in anymore" moment.

The tokens felt completely surreal in my hand, almost like board game money or casino chips rather than actual national currency.

Transnistria is the only government globally that issues composite plastic coins for its lower denominations (1, 3, 5, and 10 rubles). These tokens are uniquely shaped (round, square, pentagon, hexagon). It gave me the feeling of "Monopoly money" as I used when played the game Monopoly in my younger days.
