Before rock music, mental illness was something people whispered about - or didn’t mention at all. But rock changed that. It brought emotion out into the open. It showed that even the strongest, loudest, and most admired artists could feel broken inside. 

Travelling through the ancient heart of the Inca world changed how I see everything. I walked these sacred paths like a curious detective, trying to piece together clues left in the stones. 

And it was even in the fog. This day I walked the slopes of Haleakalā in 1987, in the volcanic landscapes and sub-tropical rain forest, the fog wrapped everything in silence – included me. I wondered, could it be something interesting to observe there?

When you stand before the Peace Palace, you feel it: this is where nations come to argue not with weapons, but with words. In The Hague stands the Peace Palace, one of the city’s most iconic landmarks in the Netherlands - lies on the North Sea coast, in the province of South Holland. 

In life, just like in football, rejection can feel like the end. But for many, it’s the beginning of something greater. Some of the world’s best players were once told they weren’t good enough. But instead of giving up, they used rejection as motivation. They found strength in failure, and that strength helped them rise.

Set deep in the southern Albania, the ancient port city Butrint, I felt like stepping into a time machine. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is where empires collided, and civilisations left their mark. The Illyrians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Venetians and Ottomans - all passed through here, shaping a city that still echoes with their stories.

The Bock Casemates in Luxembourg City feature several escape routes, primarily within their extensive tunnel system. Winding and narrow, some passages looked like “fox holes” – tight, secret paths once used to slip away unseen. 

The moment I crossed the threshold of the Bock Casemates in Luxembourg City on the 7th August 2025, the light faded and the air changed. Cool and damp, it carried whispers of centuries past. These tunnels, carved deep into the rock, once sheltered soldiers, stored ammunition, and echoed with the tension of war.
