A homebody who likes travelling. Part I. “Travelling homebody” is a concept that I came up with one day. My secret formula. But let me introduce myself a little bit first, please. I am Alex. A couch potato, a home skillet who working all days long at laptop, commuting between computer table and the fridge. Some people call it “to be a Freelancer”. And know what? I am a very adventure person if you take a closure look. Dreaming about finding one more nice unbeaten track where you can enjoy digging up your motorbike from the mud. Let's say somewhere in jungles of mountain Laos. Yes, I like it… But the idea of “chasing the globe”, isn’t it little bit overestimated now days?

And I like to skim your Instagram, guys! But for myself I find the journey arrangements for a new country, the road itself, tedious trivial stuff during the travel to be very time consuming to change countries often. I am a mathematician by my nature. Yes, two for one, couch potato and math lover. And I estimated that for a small 2-weeks trip I spend half time for organization and servicing myself and only half time for something not meaningless. My calculations are like this: […] to be continued
