We Are The World Blogfest: Positive Twitterday

As almost every last Friday of the month, let’s talk a little about the good things in the world. This is the We Are The World Blogfest.

Travel as a fashion, an obsession, a checklist

Travel has always been an escape for the privileged. The best of humanity managed to use it for the betterment of themselves and the world, but they were always the minority.

Breaking the self-nihilistic spiral of me, me, me, people are able to accomplish wonders. This month’s two examples of positive news as part of the We Are The World Blogfest prove that.
