A few words from the author

Whilst travelling from the Christian remains of Constantinople and the ancient sands of Persia, through the Himalayas, the Great Wall of China and the dense jungles of Borneo, I realized that the world must have its order. Therefore despite my beautiful adventures and experiences I always remembered which culture I myself belonged to, and I also appreciated the beauty and values of our beautiful - White Christian civilization.

Expedition to Saudi Arabia 2022

By: Martin Malik

The real pearl of Saudi tourism however are primarily the ancient tombs of Hegra, in the desert near Al Ula. It is a very picturesque and historically rich corner of Saudia. It is there that one can feel the beauty of the desert and see the impressive large rock formations, and the way people try to cultivate the land in the desert.

Trip to Azerbaijan

By: Martin Malik

In Xinaliq I hiked the mountains, I used people`s hospitality and good humour and I watched the traditional shepherd life next to the border with Russia (Dagestan). By the way, at the border the officials asked my three times if I've been to Armenia, without understanding that their war is theirs and not mine.

Desert expedition to the Arabian Peninsula 2022

By: Martin Malik

The Arabian Peninsula is a region of Asia that hasn't been widely explored by travellers from Western civilization. To me the Arabian Peninsula is primarily a new lonely adventure through the Arabian desert and a test of my strength and endurance. The core of my trip will be Saudi Arabia, although I also plan to visit a few neighboring countries. (This article is also about making dreams come true.)

Is travel only for the rich ?

By: Martin Malik

I often receive questions about my money. Sometimes people ask out of curiosity, but more often out of jealousy and hatred to me, as if I owed them something. I get accusations that "I must come from a wealthy family", that I "might have robbed someone", but also other ugly comments which edge over harassement. Nevertheless, I would like to explain how everyone can afford to travel, and I can assure you that this discipline is not only for the rich.

Kuwait – a desert adventure

By: Martin Malik

Welcome to Kuwait; in the country of the most powerful currency in the world, which is over 2,5 times more expensive than the British pound. It's a shock! Kuwait laso has the highest temperatures in the world, reaching over 50ºC in summer. One summer it was so hot that flying birds fell dead on the desert. However, Kuwait has nice beaches, palm trees, good restaurants, hotels, an attractive Arabian bazaar and interesting Kuwait City.

Trip to Bahrain

By: Martin Malik

Bahrain was an interesting addition to my trip around the Arabian Peninsula. On my way there I didn't expect that it would be so interesting and it would have so much to offer. In this small area I saw old and modern cities, ancient forts, several nice beaches, exotic nature, spectacular fishing boats, a camel farm and many other interesting places.

Saudi Arabia … and passion for travel

By: Martin Malik

Saudi Arabia is a new and unknown travel destination, which from the beginning of its existence was closed to followers of religions other than Islam. Saudia has been open to visitors from outside the Islamic world only since 2019, so to the vast majority it is still shrouded in mystery and stereotypes. I believe that this kind of approach is understandable in this case and it was one of the reasons why I decided to get to know Saudia thoroughly.

The cultural ‘enrichment’ of Europe; part III ‘Gypsies’

By: Martin Malik

GYPSIES. They live in separate ghettos, they are known for their high crime and they base their survival on theft, fraud, kidnappings for ransom and social welfare. Gypsies were thrown out from all the countries they settled in and they are always hated because they have a well deserved reputation of thugs, thieves and lazy breeding machines.

Trip to Jordan

By: Martin Malik

I like the the Bedouins' traditional way of life and attachment to their land and culture. I've noticed that Bedouins prefer to live in the desert, in tents, they like to drink tea prepared on their own campfires, they like their animals and all rocks, canyons and sands that surround them. Also, firstly they are Bedouins and then Jordanians and Arabs. With such an approach their race and their culture will definitely survive.

The Great Replacement Project

By: Martin Malik

I've never heard that Africa is too African, that India is too Indian, or that China is too Chinese, but because of the Great Replacement Project Europe is too European, and that's why white civilization is the only one that 'needs' diversity, and that's why it is uniformly exterminated in all the white continents. Only white people 'need' tolerance and mass immigration, only white people have to feel guilty, and must apologize.

Trip to the Philippines 2018

By: Martin Malik

This is my first trip to the Philippines - the country of beautiful beaches, waterfalls hidden in the jungle and rice terraces. The Philippines is also a country of sea turtles, coconut palm trees, tarsiers, whale sharks and good cuisine. Regardless of whether travelers are interested in beaches, blue waterfalls or diving, the Philippines always proves to be a great tourist destination. Philippines is a tropical, island paradise that we can still afford.

Facebook publications

By: Martin Malik

Today there is Facebook, and tomorrow it might be gone. All over the world, the politically awakened pages are being removed by the Jew in power without any announcement or warning. My account has always been blocked and restricted, although I also received a warning that it may be completely deleted, like Twitter. You know: 'community standards';)

Trip to Lebanon

By: Martin Malik

Lebanon is a very interesting country which I have a lot of beautiful memories from, but its military nature forces us to adapt to new conditions. Although in the first few days you may be wondering when the war might start, and despite the horror stories told us by the British Foreign Office, I will always remember Lebanon as a very interesting adventure.

Facebook and the media control

By: Martin Malik

Facebook in particular is the most appalling spying machine that has ever been invented. Here we have the world's most comprehensive database about people, their relationships, names, addresses (...) all sitting within the United States, all accessible to U.S. intelligence. In many countries the social media is forbidden, in order to prevent foreign corporations from having power over governments and societies.

WHO: “Globally, approximately 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died. By comparison, seasonal flu typically kills much less than 1% of those infected. There are now 90,893 reported COVID-19 cases and 3,110 deaths worldwide. " This WHO calculation means that even if someone gets COVID-19, the risk of dying is 1 in 30.

Khyber Pass in Pakistan

By: Martin Malik

Khyber Pass is a road leading through mountains from the city of Peshawar in Pakistan to Afghanistan. This dangerous section is the main trade route to Afghanistan, which has a reputation of being outside of the Pakistani law, and it is a place of many surprises. This strategic trade route is a place of constant fight for influence between the forces of the Pakistani government, the Taliban, and the local Pashtun tribes.

The Stalin museum in Gori

By: Martin Malik

Stalin's Museum in Gori is an intrusive and downright pathetic attempt to present a wolf in sheep's clothing as well as unpleasant proof of the hypocrisy of the Georgian government that openly tolerate these lies.

The Ancient Cities of Thailand 2011

By: Martin Malik

Ayutthaya was founded in 1350 by King U Thong at the intersection of three rivers (Mae Nam Lopburi, Chao Phraya and Pa Sak), making this ancient city located on the island. Strategically it was a great solution because rivers constituted a natural barrier against attacks on the city. Unfortunately, under the pressure of the Burmese army, Ayutthaya fell in 1767 and the Siam began to rebuild its power near today's Bangkok.

Do different levels of liars actually exist, and could we qualify a specific liar to a certain level of development? In what circumstances a liar needs to find himself to advance to the higher level of deceit? Can deceit be turned into a professional career?

Expedition to the Malaysian Borneo 2018

By: Martin Malik

Malaysian Borneo is a picturesque corner of Asia, which I recommend to travellers who like close contact with nature. The states of Sarawak and Sabah are home to primeval rainforests, great spectacular caves, and the rich cultural life of Borneo. In national parks and reserves you can see orangutans, proboscis monkeys, hornbills, sea turtles and crocodiles.

Expedition to Israel and Palestine

By: Martin Malik

The Berlin Wall was seen as an attack on freedom and democracy, and the fence surrounding concentration camps as a crime against humanity, but on the other hand the wall in Palestine, although much longer and higher than the one in Berlin is kept in silence ..... as if it didn't exist. This means that brutal occupation and walls of that type are perfectly fine, but only on a condition that they serve Jews.
