POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
I want to thank NomadMania for inviting me on this trip to Azerbaijan, Karabakh, and Nakhchivan. It was a great opportunity to meet other obsessed travelers and I’m thankful to be recognized as a UN Master. It was cool to meet almost 100 other UN Masters and soon-to-be masters. It was great hearing their stories as well as just being around like-minded people. Not only did I learn a new things and made new memories, I’ve met some new friends that I hope to travel with soon.

final part of the series

I do not often make photos of scenes but since the trip is all about landscapes, might as well make a couple of images about landform and transitory elements. 

time slowed when one is not distracted by the lack of internet, and with eyes off the phone screen, one start to observe the vast beauty of nature and marvel at…. how I miss surfing the web.

part 2

due to the remarkable biodiversity, socotra is sometimes referred to as the Galapagos of the Indian Ocean. it has 6 endemic birds, host to migrating birds including flamingoes. it is also home to 19 endemic species of reptiles. other endemic species include mollusks , algae and a fresh water crab which I had the pleasure of being pinched and I’m proud to say it hurts.

but what is famous in socotra is its endemic flora - 380 species not found anywhere else on earth. the most famous of which is the dragon blood tree.

however conservation is limited here due to the civil war and tourism. many of the dragon blood trees bear vandalism of names of passing tourist. I engraved the words “do not vandalise” on these century old trees to deter other visitors. 

just kidding.
