1. Bucharest, Bucharest, Burcharest- “From start-up hubs, leadership communities and bootstrapped social enterprises to neighbourhood associations, autonomous cultural spaces and environmental protests, Bucharest is definitely happening. I’m not saying this as a nationalist (cosmopolitanism is where it’s at) nor as an entirely born-and-raised Romanian. Returning to native Bucharest as a fresh graduate after a 14-year stay in hectic Venezuela meant having to discover this city and its communities almost as a foreigner would. Lost in space and cultural references I didn’t get, in a mix of awe, anxiety and sometimes disappointment” - Read Alex Stef on Bucharest here.
2. Going for a day trip in rural Nepal- “A week ago, me and Matthias went for a day-long trip to Dhading district with a small mission. It’s been a great lesson for us to see how the country looks like from outside-of-the-capital perspective.” - Read Natalia at: https://edgeryders.eu/en/future-makers-nepal/trip-to-dhading-and-first-edgeryders-meetup
