The Author of Les Miserables, Victor Hugo House in Guernsey

Do you know who Victor Hugo is? I guess yes, particularly after his book Les Miserables has become so popular worldwide again, thanks to the recent Hollywood movie and the famous musical.

Everyone knows the beautiful story of Les Miserables in these days, but do you know Victor Hugo was also a great interior designer? Do you know how the celebrated French author got the inspiration for his masterpieces? Do you know he had political views that were amazingly modern and innovative for his times? I got to know all this in a day and without reading a book!

Travel book: Danziger's Travel

I love travel books!

I added to my website Danziger's Travels!

One of the most adventurous books of our times. You couldn't believe it's a true story. A young well educated man of the English middle class who leaves fun, girls and maybe a comfortable tomorrow in London to seriously risk his life in Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Travelling in the middle of wars, with terrorists and guerilla's soldiers, alone, with people who weren't speaking his language ....click on the link below to read more...

Dear visitor,

thank you for visiting my blog. This blog started as a way for me to share with my friends some photos of my travels or of travels I planned . In few months, through the social media, FB in particular, I got to know many people around the world, like me interested in travels and photography.

So this blog is now a way for me to share photos and experiences and get to know many interesting people all over the world like you and their own experiences and pics.

I would like that this blog may become a place to share more and more photos, places and ideas. So I encourage fellow travellers to publish some of their photos, travel stories and experiences posting on this site.

If you have any good photo or story about everywhere in the world please contact me on FB (Edwhatamidoing here - Travelling around a different world) or by mail @ ed.whatamidoinghere@gmail.com . I look forward to hear from you.

Thank you and enjoy exploring the World!

Who am I ?

I am a traveller, I am a rambler. I firmly believe that travelling is the best way to understand the meaning of life. I really can't stay in the same place for long.

I completely agree with Pascal: all our miseries stemmed from a single cause: our inability to remain quietly in a room. I am one who really can't sit in the same place for long without getting restless and impatient. I believe the main problem of people living in the so called "First World" 'is the inability to enjoy their daily life. Stress and uncertainty are certainly one reason, and maybe the principal reason why people become restless and unhappy. I believe travelling allows to improve our culture and knowledge, but - most important - gives us a true meaning for our lives.

Every time I travel I feel first of all excited, then enriched for everything new I have seen, but most of all I feel more positive for the future. (Read more about me)
