Suddenly a post. I've signed up with Brave, to become a content creator and referrer.
As I've never been to keen on taking a percentage of what the Anthropolodgy-host families earn, it's been next to impossible to earn money to cover for hosting or domain name fees. Since I don't want to use adds, it complicates it even further. As for now I've lost like 500 euro but it has been kind of fun and I'd choose it over beer and pizza, any day of the week.
Now, as I read a little about Brave, I thought perhaps this could be something that would finally make me go a bit less -
Basically Brave is a new browser and they award their content creators with 5 USD for every person are recruited!
So, if you want to try a new browser, how about trying this link out: https://brave.com/ant947
I use it myself and it's both safe, fast and a very important step towards a more healthy internet!
Let me know what you think! It would be great to hear suggestions and ideas!

Brave is a browser that allows you to support creators without the fear of demonetization.

Presenting homestay number five: High Atlas homestay, Morocco. Not only a fantastic place but also the first one of those listed that it's possible to volunteer at. Also, it's the only homestay on our list that is in Africa!

Out of the blue in Agadir, I met an amazigh called Ridouane. It was by complete chance as I just wanted to ask someone for the way to the long distance taxi station. He said that it was just a few …

Just came back from a week of hiking in Skuleskogen national park and other parts of the High Coast UNESCO area in Sweden! Very recommended!:)

Grandiose views of forest and sea, beautiful lakes, verdant spruce forest valleys and intriguing geological phenomena show more plainly than anywhere else that parts of Sweden have emerged from the sea. Skuleskogen National Park is a monumental area. High mountains, old-growth forest and the seacoas...

It seems like a lot of people believe that I am a mongol and work at one of the homestays! In order to sort this out, I updated the about section of the website, so that anyone who is curious can get to know a bit more about this little project!

This website is not the website of a specific homestay. It’s a small platform for various homestays various places around the world. It’s run on a hobby-basis. The reason I started with…

Some people going for the homestays have asked me about what else to do when visiting Inner Mongolia. Since there is already plenty of info about the two homestays on this site, they don’t ne…

Found something yesterday when googling. Stay in a yurt: 4000 yuan / 2 days. Sweet Jesus. Did they accidentally click 0 thrice?

I just made a search on Booking.com. I wanted to find the most expensive place in Hohhot and compare it to a yurt advertised by China Culture Center (CCC). The reason that I wanted to compare the p…
