Not a review about the good sides of this tent, there is enough on YouTube for that.

Hiking Matera
I am dropped off at the highest point of a low hill and walk towards where I hope to find a camp spot. It is dark when a Jeep comes my way: ‘Where are you going?’ I answer the man I am walking to Matera. He tells me this is not the route to Matera and I better return to the road. I tell him this is exactly the route to Matera. He asks whether I am on bicycle and when he sees I am not, he tells me it is okay. Seeing no logic in this I nevertheless answer ‘grazie‘. It is a track consisting of rough gravel and later on becoming karst landscape. Doable by bicycle, foot, with a walking trailer, and by car.

Parco dell’Etna
Making plans is not my strongest asset but for a short hike near the Etna all I know is that I don’t need to go to the top. Elevation stays roughly between 1400 and 2000 meter and the loop is about 37 kilometer in total. Wild camping is not really allowed but also not really forbidden. The beauty coming my way is of another planet altogether. A world I love: barren and lush at the same time.

Rules and regulations. Do we agree with them because we have to or do we only keep the ones that fit us. Some rules come naturally to most of us while others seem to especially restrict. In a city, or anywhere people live close, rules are a must. But when city people would feel restricted, how will they free themselves from it? Or will restricted feelings turn into a new normal?

The only true desert in Europe: Tabernas
Reaching Abla from an unintended and quite uninteresting angle might not have been so stunning, yet I find all the groceries that I wanted in the only shop open on a Sunday morning. Very satisfied pulling the trailer stuffed to its maximum capacity I enter a café to eat scrambled eggs and coffee, the two things I can’t prepare myself.

Andalucia: Orgiva to Abla
Walking (for some time) is liberating in many ways. There’s a sudden very clear goal. It is a goal made by myself and even though it is deceptive one, it brings me incredible much joy. I have plenty of challenge and every second is new to my mind. I don’t know where I will sleep the night and to not know is pleasant. Worries arises in thin air because walls that bounces thoughts back and forth are not any longer there. Hot flashes are gone and excess energy get used up. I lack no social interaction and the balance between alone and adventurous input is just perfect. I have a loving partner to whom I can share my experiences, for social media I need not to switch on the roaming data. My social media are the people I talk to and Geo who is together with cat V.
