  The feelings all along the road coast of Namibia cannot be explained. You have nothing near, in the middle of nowhere, with just brave green waves sounds, wind, sand and skeletons... You are just... a tiny living being with death all around you!

  Jaisalmer is the closest city to the Pakistani border in the NW of Rajasthan, one of India’s most beautiful states. It lies in the heart of the Thar Desert in the middle of nowhere. Jaisalmer is the last stop before you take your chances in the hot, windy, dry desert dunes of north India. With all kinds of merchants, vendors and markets the place city bursting with life. There is something very attractive about the chaos and bustle of Indian cities that I just can’t explain.

  You are in the dry Californian desert. Nothing else surrounds you than dusty hills, sandy rocks and a lonesome landscape. Some colorful wildflowers interrupt the barren countryside dominated by cacti and the famous palm trees stick out of the wide land. Nothing to hear apart some scattered coyotes but the never ending sound of silence.
