With the Arab countries of Egypt, Morocco and the OMAN we were able to gain very different experiences regarding the behavior towards foreign tourists. In Egypt, we noticed the great need for security, as evidenced by the armed police convoy escorting us through the desert to Luxor. The Moroccans were extremely hostile. While in the OMAN a great tolerance and friendliness was felt.
Adventures in walking across America - Also, includes personal stories about the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and the American Discovery Trail.
Although we were already in several cultures on the road, we found it in Morocco not easy to find our way with Islamic lifestyle. Even with our excursions we had the impression to be moved to an earlier time. This was very much on our trip from Agadir to the coastal town of Essaouira. The fear of the locals before the camera took us by surprise.
Glimpses of travel process and visiting two sites.
Our past, wonderful vacation in North Zealand (Danish Riviera) was a reunion with many places that I have visited during my time in Copenhagen (1977-1980). By making numerous trips with my second wife, Jutta Hartmann-Metzger, also my view of the interesting attractions has changed.
This short story came out of my experience while working in the hotel industry some years ago.
In a time of economic anxiety, global terror and shaken confidence, Englishman Leon Logothetis, star of the hit series 'Amazing Adventures of a Nobody' (National Geographic Channels International, Fox Reality), shows us what is good about mankind: the simple calling people have to connect to others.
Tired of his disconnected life and uninspiring job, Leon Logothetis leaves it all behind—job, money, home even his cell phone—and hits the road with nothing but the clothes on his back and five dollars in his pocket.
His journey from Times Square to the Hollywood sign relying on the kindness of strangers and the serendipity of the open road, inspire a dramatic and life changing transformation.
Along the way, Leon offers up the intriguing and charming tales gathered along his one-of-a-kind journey: riding in trains, buses, big rigs and classic cars; sleeping on streets and couches and firehouses; meeting pimps and preachers, astronauts and single moms, celebrities and homeless families, veterans and communists. Each day of his journey, we catch sight of the invisible spiritual underpinning of society in these stories of companionship—and sheer adventure—that prove that the kind, good soul of mankind has not been lost.

I soon realised my safe haven was not as it appeared. I have a fear, well not a fear but rather a pathological phobia of cats. It all stems from the day I realised I was allergic to them.
