My blogs

I blog for fun and out of passion. I love social media and the power of crowdsourced information gathering or dissemination. Here is a short overview of all my blogs and websites:

1. My main blogs

• My House on The Road
  ...is really my home page. It shows the latest feeds from all my sites, as well as the feeds from a selection of other news sites I follow constantly.
  
  
• The Road to the Horizon
  ... is my main blog. This is where it all started. On "The Road" I publish my travel short stories, news commentary, bits and pieces of things I pick up as I live my life as an expat, a traveller, and an aidworker.

• Scribbles
  ...is a spin-off from The Road, where I highlight my "most notorious" writings: articles and stories I wrote over the years.
  
  
• Have Impact!
  ...concentrates on our micro finance projects, which originally started as a social project "Change Starts Here" on The Road

  ...publishes press releases and news from nonprofit causes.
  
  

2. My news aggregators

• Humanitarian News
  ...is my mega-collector of the latest posts and publications from the nonprofit sector. Over 800 different sources get polled, posts are summarized an put in different categories. The site is searchable, and features individual feeds for the different news categories.
