Istambul's Grand Bazaar is one of the world’s oldest covered markets. Around 250,000 people a day are thought to visit its 3,000-plus stalls. It was listed as the world’s most visited tourist attraction in 2014.

Dungavel is one of the saddest places that I've visited. It's a prison for migrants and refugees.
I remember during this protest a female police officer slowly approached me and said: "I hope they'll bulldoze it ASAP". Godspeed...

I've once spoke to these men about poverty but I particularly remembered one of them said to me:
"It's time to end stigma towards Romani people. We must celebrate these people's unique culture. Why all the hate? I respect them".

I remember the anger during Donald Trump's visit to Scotland.
Crowds, ranging from children to pensioners, held signs and shouted: "Donald Trump off our streets."
This woman came from Texas to back the public.

I've been to Kyiv twice. It’s a vibrant city, with friendly people, great architecture, underrated nightlife and wonderful food.
I mean how you can not love borscht? 🙂
