“You probably have a particular place in this world which you love so much it gives you a smile on your face”
Ode to the Journey
Hi there travellers,
We all have one or more favourite spots on this glorious globe. You probably have a particular place in this world which you love so much it gives you a smile on your face and enough energy to last for a week, just by thinking about it.
I have quite a lot of those favourite spots; for nature, adventure and cities for example. In this edition of Wideoyster Magazine two stand: the Andes of Peru for its overwhelming nature and New York City for its unbridled energy.
Mastercard is so kind to sponsor us. Thanks to them we were able to bring a cinematographic ode to New York City for this edition. We made a travel poetry film on Walt Whitman’s ‘Keep your Splendid Silent Sun’. Check it out. (-;
Happy trails and keep discovering,

The Big Apple
New York City

On adventure in Finnish Lapland
White Wonderland

A journey to pure flavours
Tasty Norway
Halfway between Oslo and the Arctic Circle you'll find the most fertile region of Norway: Trøndelag. Besides long gazes over visually enchanting fjords and beaches, your taste buds will be road tripping via microbreweries, mussel farms, cheese makers and chefs who...
Barely visited countrysides
The other Thailand
Quiet, endless rice fields, fishermen towns and old traditional tributes: they still exist! Somewhere in between the flashy sky bars in Bangkok and the sunny beach resorts in the south of the country, you can find the other Thailand, barely visited countrysides....
The Salkantay Trek
Machu Picchu
Mighty mountain giants tower above me. I walk at high altitude in the Andes of Peru. We are now at about 4600 meters. There is less oxygen in the air here, and that air is also drier. It's something you notice. Breathing is heavy and every step is a battle with...
