Thimmammamarrimanu, the largest tree specimen in the world

English:

Thimmammamarrimanu, the largest tree specimen in the world.

Unpronounceable by nature, Thimmammamarrimanu was recorded as the largest tree specimen in the world in the Guinness Book of World Records in 1989. Funnily enough, it was located not very far from the city where I was living - and volunteering - in India from July 2015 until July 2016: Anantapur.

On a Sunday morning, the only day off we had during the week, some other volunteers and I decided to go there to see that tree with our own eyes. While we had expected to see a huge tree, the truth is that the Thimmammamarrimanu looks like a dozen trees together because it's very difficult to see its origin, its main stem.

A short trip to Leeds to see Diversity live

English:

A short trip to Leeds to see Diversity live.

Hello everybody and welcome, once again, to my blog!

It has been three years and a half already since I saw this amazing dance crew live in Leeds but it still feels just like yesterday.

In case you don't know, Diversity is a dance group formed by British guys who won Britain's Got Talent in 2009. Of course, their style has evolved and improved a lot in these nine years, but I have loved them since I first saw them on TV.

So, back in 2014, on the peak of my obssession for them, I decided to travel to Leeds to see them live and, considering I was travelling from Majorca and in order to make the trip worth the investment, I decided to splurge on a VIP ticket and not only see them from the first row, but also meet them backstage!

Diwali, the festival of light

English:

Diwali, the festival of light.

Hello everybody and welcome back to my blog!

Today, I would like to share a couple of pictures that I took during Diwali, the festival of light, in Anantapur while volunteering. I obviously couldn't take many pictures because (a) I was busy having fun and (b) I didn't want my camera to be damanged with so much fire around!
