RE: @rubenstorm@defcon.social

I am a bit surprised with those results.

Now I left #Tusky and went to #Fedilab - let's see how it works

This is what they were eating at the hostel yesterday… pretty sure the locals who sold it were cracking up the whole time 😅

Moshi to Lusaka overland.
Dust, rain, border lines, and long roads south.

I left Moshi in the afternoon heat, packed into a bus that rattled over uneven roads through the night. Space was tight, air was warm, and every stop brought new delays — but the wheels kept turning.

Iringa welcomed me with rain and mud. Wet shoes, quiet streets, and a simple hostel gave me time to rest before continuing. The next ride to Mbeya was rough and slow, the kind of journey where time stretches and every kilometer feels earned.

From Mbeya the route led to the border. A short ride, a tuk-tuk, then walking from the roundabout toward immigration through noise and pressure. Sellers, agents, offers, voices — constant movement all around. After waiting in line and answering questions, I stepped out of Tanzania and into Zambia.

Nakonde meant waiting. Buses do not travel at night, so the station became a temporary world of travelers, benches, and charging sockets. Eventually, still in darkness, the bus departed. Sunrise came later, slowly revealing villages, checkpoints, and the long road toward Lusaka.

Arrival did not feel dramatic. Just a quiet sense of distance traveled. A shared taxi across the city. A simple meal. A bed. Movement paused, but the journey continues.

About 2500 km by land.
One direction: forward.

Coffee done, brain on. Still turning travel notes into a longer blog post.

Trying a new approach this time: writing things down while I’m on the road so I don’t forget the good stuff. ✍️☕

Sitting here in Mbeya in a small café, enjoying what they call a “latte” ☕️
Different taste, different vibe — but that’s exactly why I love traveling.

On the move again. A long overland journey with many overnight stops, long bus rides, and nights spent wherever the road allows — hostels, buses, even bus stations. Started in Moshi, taking the slow route by bus, tuk-tuk, and on foot. Destination still unknown.

Last breakfast and coffee at this place.
A slow morning, a warm cup, and one final glimpse of Kilimanjaro before it’s time to move on.

Some places don’t ask you to stay — they just leave a mark.

Swimming pool day with a view of Mount Kilimanjaro 🗻
The view? Absolutely unreal.

The place itself… not so much. Poorly maintained, no lockers, messy changing rooms, dirty showers with zero privacy and nowhere to put your stuff. Same for the toilets — very open, very social, and definitely not clean. Hard pass.

I had to use the shower anyway. Entrance fee: 7,000 TZS.

The pool looks old and a bit like it’s falling apart, but the weather was great and that Kilimanjaro view fixed a lot. Not everything — but enough.

📍 Moshi, Tanzania

Yesterday unfolded slowly in Moshi. The morning started with breakfast and a coffee that was far too strong — heavy on the powder, almost like an overdone Turkish coffee. Not great, but it did the job.

I finally did laundry, hung everything up in the dorm, and later went out for lunch — chips, followed by a walk through town. Since my shoes were washed, I wore my Earth Runners. They’re still new, but familiar, carrying memories from early December walks with my daughter.

I headed toward Union Café, then changed my mind and continued into the park. I noticed the Christmas Trees still lightly blooming, their flowers slowly falling away. Eventually, I sat at the Wishing Tree, enjoyed a smoothie, and stayed longer than planned, despite the TV nearby being far too loud.

The evening passed quietly on the hostel rooftop. Rice and beans for dinner, a shower, and bed. An ordinary day — calm, grounded, complete.

Odessa, Ukraine — fragments of a city that once felt like home Here are some old photos from Odessa, a city that became a quiet anchor during the first years of my life on the road. In this post, I’m sharing 8 images taken across different moments and different visits, small windows into a place I kept returning to over time. Back then, Odessa wasn’t just a stop on a map for me. It was a city I came back to again and again, because something about it felt alive in a way I couldn’t fully explain. I loved the atmosphere in the streets, the mix of history and everyday life, the long walks along the coast, and the architecture that seemed to tell stories even when you didn’t know the language. No matter what the weather was like, I walked. Rain, wind, or sun — it didn’t matter. Being outside, moving through the city, was part of how I experienced it. Many of those days ended with the same small ritual. I would sit down at Aroma Kava, order a cappuccino and a piece of cake, and watch the city flow past. Locals, travelers, snippets of conversations in different languages, the sound of traffic and footsteps — all of it blended into a kind of calm background that made me feel both alone and connected at the same time. The last time I left Odessa was in February 2022, through the airport. At the time, I didn’t know it would be the last time I would see the city the way I remembered it. Since then, everything feels different. The memories are still warm, but they carry a quiet sadness now. If the war had never happened, I know I would still be going back, still walking those same streets, still sitting in the same cafés, and still adding new chapters to a place that once felt like a second home. #odessaukraine #travelstories #citymemories #wanderlife #nomadjournal #urbanexplorer #coastalvibes #architecturelovers #streetmoments #coffeeandcake #slowtravel #photodiary #memorylane #fediverse #defconsocial #travel #explore #lifeontheroad
