Ours is an interesting, challenging and beautiful world. The articles and selected writing pieces linked to below represent my attempts to know the places I visit more profoundly. They are a mix of ecological and conservation-oriented science journalism, travel stories meant to inspire an urge to explore beyond one’s horizon and short pieces of fiction and creative non-fiction inspired by my own travels.
I hope that you enjoy them.
