RamallahWhen I started the Streets of the World project I already knew that the major political conflicts in the world would one day become part of this project too. Without a doubt the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of those.

Port-of-SpainTrinidad, the holy trinity, and Tobago, probably named after tobacco, are the last islands of my Caribbean trip. I’ve gotten used to the mellow lifestyle in this region. But Trinidad and especially Port of Spain are a little different.

KingstownKingstown. Not to be confused with Kingston, Jamaica’s capital. Set by the seashore, with its colorful market, I liked Kingstown right away. The market is really big compared to the smaller ones in the other Caribbean islands I’ve recently visited.

RoseauI never have a lot of time to explore the places I visit, but because of the total tranquility on Sunday I had a chance to go whale watching. Sperm whales and Humpbacks are frequently spotted, as are several types of dolphins.

BasseterreOnly when the big cruise ships arrive on Saint Kitts the calmness of this small Caribbean island is a little disturbed. It doesn’t happen everyday. But it is very good for the economy of this unknown spot in the wide Caribbean Sea.

Saint Martin
PhilipsburgDiscovered by Columbus on the 11th of November, Saint Martin gave this island it’s name. For me Saint Martin is another small home away from home. The island is split in a French and a Dutch part.

Santo DomingoImagine being Christopher Columbus. And after a seemingly endless trip over the Atlantic you finally see a green stretch of land on the horizon. It is the 5th of December in 1492. Columbus discovers the American Continent.

HavanaUnlike any other country in the world. There are so many things about it, good and bad, that it’s hard to write something useful in a short story. Always best to talk about your own experiences.

BelmopanAnother good example of an unexpected capital. Belize City used to be the capital of Belize but for some reason the government decided to relocate it to this dusty town in the middle of this small Caribbean state.

Panama CityWhen I was in Panama I stumbled upon a whole week of festivities. Everyday parades started in the old town going down to the boulevard and all the way onwards to Panama City’s impressive new town with its, for Central America, unparalleled skyline.
