Author

Greetings!

My name is Andrew Marcus. For the last N years I have been travelling a lot and writing stories about it. I know, every other blogger is doing this now, but what I do is much more interesting, sharp, and dramatic. If you want to understand what I am talking about, try starting with Varanasi or Iran. Anyway, the loudest thing happened when I pretended to convert to Islam and went to Medina and Mecca under the disguise of a pilgrim.

Of course, not all my stories are equally interesting. Sometimes I also write routine reports. Gradually they become less and less. Still, no one else in the whole Medium and other Facebooks can afford literary narration, dramaturgy, cool pictures, and especially interactive effects in their stories.

I can afford. Because my task is to describe and present the world to Reader, and not to stamp out similar posts for advertising. The complexity of compiling plot stories is quite high, so I write slowly. Everything that you see on this site was made by me alone: I am a traveler, a photographer, a writer, a designer, and a programmer. So it happened.

On this site I also publish my design articles, and books that have influenced me the most.

All my photographs may be used under the CC BY license, i.e. for all purposes, including commercial, as long as the author is credited.

Social networks

I do not have Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube because I am too lazy. When I have become not too lazy, I will for sure start having all this. In the meantime, the way to contact me is by email [email protected].

By the way, laziness does not exist, it is a social construct. So it is something else.
