Oaxaca, México
In September 2019, I spent two weeks in the state of Oaxaca, one of the country's thirty-two states located in southwestern Mexico.
São Paulo

Lausanne, Switzerland
The final stop on my 2017 visit to Europe was Switzerland, where I spent a few days in the city of Lausanne, located on the shores of Lake Geneva.

Once a French colony, the republic gained its full independence from the colonial empire in 1960./Madagascar es una nación insular en el Océano Índico cerca a la costa de África Oriental y… Continue reading Madagascar
