Welcome to my solo travel blog

Adrian Sameli is blogging about his inspiring journey around the world. He is an avid traveller and started this solo travel blog in 2015 as part of a sabbatical gap year. Since then, he has become a digital nomad and did pro bono consulting for impact-driven social enterprises in America, Africa and India.
