cultivate culture

Hello to the familiar and the curious. This blog has two purposes. The first is to document – sometimes as we see it, sometimes in a sort of seven-degrees-of-kevin-bacon way – the experiences had by Carmen and myself on our trip to Europe and South America. However, this is no travelblog. We make no attempt at being chronological or complete-if that`s what you’re after, check out the picture vault. Carmen likes to take pictures, I like to write, and we´ll both be doing both along the way. This trip is inspired by two things that Carmen and I are pretty passionate about: culture and science, so much of what’s here will revolve (loosely) around them. We hope that you´ll stop by every once and a while for a read and, if we´re doing this right, add a comment or two, which is this blog’s second purpose: to cultivate a place that connects us to you through the sharing of experiences and ideas. Take part and enjoy!
