Definitely, these last months have been my sparsest posting months since I've joined the blockchain. Blame some lack of motivation, a ton of things happening off chain, but yeah; it is what it is. Nevertheless, one of the things that motivates me more to post is travelling... and that's exactly what I will be doing in a couple of weeks! ![444.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/pardinus/242Nh72tMeipFDM2UEz4a1CcSCMD32CeZUt725WJEzm1PVgPRdPeupMotQov1tVLmjEuN.jpg) I hope it won't be a thorny travel, but I'm guessing I'll see landscapes as arid as these ones. Another new country to discover, and different realities to experience. ![5555.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/pardinus/241tdW5jYjptjxa96BZptgM2RkgRcbZcyj3pz1xyr2UNakueAf3ZJSRzBBtnPK8tBjYPA.jpg) The #monomad challenge fit these memories like a glove! These ones are still fresh, since these photos was taken last year, in the same continent I'll be returning again. And although I'm more of a nature guy, I do find myself enjoying more and more to visit ancient buildings and remnants of old civilizations. ![222.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/pardinus/23tve98cPoY2AcE5bb2xnZFyHtidP5drgtAGbkmziseinxCxQKyMSYbp3pyF2guvQLotd.jpg) It's fun to stand at these places and imagine how life would have been centuries ago, when these civilizations were thriving. ![333.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/pardinus/23wWxrjEZSssiTeBLvFjEe5v17fMG2PiXrZN8NJcdhfnTAJwp2bFsgjRosAjaW9LYvFHr.JPG) These buildings were surrounded by lush green though, and a multitude of fauna and flora, which was by itself another attraction. ![111.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/pardinus/245TEC3b8vprLVEpjjQq9JBAq9dxNiVR7GU41EhmdSydrC4C6i7mRWcPNbAyKyxktU9Te.jpg) Nevertheless, I'm pretty sure I won't be disappointed with what I'll find. Yes, it will be more arid, but it will also be the chance to see live one of the world's greatest ancient civilizations. The only thing missing, is organizing a few details. I'm way more of a get-a-backpack-go and figure out kind of traveller, but some things do require a little bit of a homework to prevent annoyances later on. Of course, there will be some nature on the mix as well! And hopefully, the chance to see some astonishing creatures! ![666.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/pardinus/23xKt8RzD1bPwyXWwqkodgEbZsmsggJrjQzr4RpQQofG9ozFoJYaD7wHLKAQfrTHAzD1D.jpg) In a river much different that this: larger, wayyyyy larger. And if I don't get lucky in the freshwater, I believe I'll compensate in saltier water! If you haven't found out where will I be going don't worry: I'm positive that the travelling will bring up the writer and blogger in me! ;) ![rgazlbwpwi.png](https://img.esteem.ws/rgazlbwpwi.png) ![Hive divider by doze.gif](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/pardinus/G3BmTHaG-Hive20divider20by20doze.gif) Still haven't joined Splinterlands?
