AustraliaOZ the Great and powerful
G’day, It was not a hot air balloon in a tornado that took us to Oz, but simply a non-stop flight to Perth, Australia. This was probably much safer but also much longer… And one can easily imagine being in “Donkey” shoes (hey, hey, donkey skin!) and traveling with Shrek & Fiona to the Far…

Cape VerdeFrom Hell to Heaven…
Todo fish? (Are you ok?) Sta fish (Everything is fine) Although the official language of Cape Verde is Portuguese, it is only heard in government offices and on the radio or television.

Hello, I am C-Ludik, a traveller with a passion for nature and photography. Travel is far more than moving from one destination to another.
It is an invitation to slow down. To watch the last light of day settle on a quiet village, to wait for an animal to appear on the horizon, to listen to the distant roar of a waterfall or to be surprised by a landscape where you least expect it.
Through ’Tween Here and There, I share the stories, photographs and emotions gathered along the way. From the deserts of Namibia to the Himalayan peaks, from European villages to the far shores of the Pacific, each journey becomes a story to tell and an invitation to see the world differently.
With camera in hand, I invite you to follow me along winding roads and remote trails, towards the places, the light and the encounters that turn a simple trip into a lasting memory. Because the greatest adventures sometimes begin far away (there)… and sometimes right at home (here). Welcome to my five-senses odyssey across the world, where distant horizons meet the wonders of everyday life.
Every journey is far more than a destination. It is a collection of encounters, light and emotions that I am delighted to share through my photographs and travel stories.
