That time I went down to the Mekong river to see the sunset in Luang Prabang, Laos. Much nicer atmosphere than up at the "official" sunset spot at Phou Si Hill. #travel #sunset #laos #luangprabang #mekong #river #bjornfree

That time I booked the cheapest hotel I could find in Hong Kong, and it came with a most pleasing view. It's a concrete jungle, but good on the eye. #travel #bjornfree #bestwestern #causewaybay #hongkong #freedom #skyline

That time I hiked the dunes of Erg Chebbi in Morocco, and a sandstorm nearly killed my camera. This is the top spot for seeing the Sahara in the country, easy to do on your own. #travel #sahara #morocco #ergchebbi #sand #tinypeople #hugedunes #bjornfree

That time in the Seychelles when it had been raining all day, so I had one of the most beautiful beaches in the world all to myself at sunset. #travel #seychelles #beach #ladigue #AnseSourcedArgent #bjornfree #sunset

That time I saw these three wary giraffes in Etosha National Park. I think Namibia should adopt it as their new flag. #travel #namibia #etosha #safari #africa #nationalpark #flagofnamibia #bjornfree

That time in Kyoto, Japan, when I wanted to find some peace and quiet, and I went to a bamboo grove. Which was wildly busy, but I tilted the camera upwards. #japan #travel #arashiyama #kyoto #bamboo #peaceonearth #bjornfree

That time I went to Granada, Spain, to see the Alhambra. It was good, but what I enjoyed most was the nearby San Jose cemetery. #travel #spain #granada #cemetery #bjornfree #sakura #alhambra

That time I went to Bratislava in winter not really knowing what to expect, and it turned out quite medieval. Not to worry. There's a strip club and a church right down this alley, so there's something to anyone with modern needs. #travel #bratislava #slovakia #medieval #castle #bjornfree

That time I went for a pizza in Nessebar, Bulgaria, where the food is treated much better than trademarks and copyrights. Hit me with a pizza, mister Pizza Hit man! #travel #pizza #bulgaria #pizzahit #nessebar #pizzahut #jankfood #bjornfree

That time I went on a roadless road trip through the Uyuni Desert, where mountains and lakes come in entirely wrong colors. I love it. #travel #southamerica #bolivia #uyuni #roadtrip #bjornfree #desert

That time I made a strenuous detour from the Kalalau Trail on Kauai, Hawaii, to see the Hanakapi'ai Falls, and it was definitely worth it. #travel #kauai #kalalautrail #hiking #hawaii #chasing #waterfalls #splash #bjornfree #usa

That time I went to the innermost remote arm of the longest and deepest fjord in Norway, and discovered just how calm sea water can be. #travel #norway #fjord #slartibartfast #barsnesfjorden #sognefjorden #bjornfree #keepcalm

That time I hiked across the Pyrenees on my first day of walking the Camino de Santiago, and I could not help but expect that I would soon meet some small guys with hairy feet and maybe a wizard flying in on eagles. #travel #camino #spain #santiago #hiking #bjornfree #pyrenees #compostela

That time I got caught up in the afternoon traffic jam in Kruger National Park, South Africa. Elephants like easy, and sometimes it's easier to walk on the road instead of through the bush to get to water. #travel #bjornfree #elephants #southafrica #krugerpark #safari #ilikebigbutts

That time I rented a car for a road trip on Boa Vista, Cape Verde, only to discover that there were barely any actual roads on the island. So it was mostly an off-road trip. #travel #roadtrip #boavista #capeverde #offroad #bjornfree

That time in Svalbard when I was admiring a wall of ice on a glacier, and a polar bear suddenly appeared. (Don't worry, I used plenty of zoom.) #travel #norway #svalbard #eastcoast #polarbear #glacier #wildlife #bjornfree

That time I walked the Lycian Way, a long-distance trail in Turkey. On the map it looks a nice coastal walk. In real life you find yourself high up on a cliff, sweating profoundly, while throwing long glances at the refreshing ocean far, far below you. #travel #lycianway #hiking #turkey #bjornfree

That is not a photo, it's an illustration that is more of a painting. Kia Yhun has not even visited Patagonia. :)

That time in North Korea when I stayed at a hotel with frequent powercuts, but with emergency power from a generator. The important functions at the hotel kept going, illuminating the portrait of the two great leaders in the lobby. #travel #northkorea #dprk #dark #priorities #power #bjornfree
