I am again at an airport. On my way towards the next project. 

It is not my favourite way to spend a Saturday morning, but sometimes necessary. 

It is big world and there are a lot of things to do out there if you want to contribute to make this world a slightly better place for us all. 

I do. 

It is what drives me to work so har and travel so much as I do. 

I have done my share of airmiles the last twenty years or so. I have seen the world, at least 164 countries. The good thing about travelling is that you always, always learn new things. 

And one thing that Inhave learned over the years is that people are the same everywhere and they all have something to share. 

If we open our hearts we learn from each other.

It is never fun to be away from home. Especially a Friday night. But sometimes you have to do it if you want to change the world. 

After a day of good meetings I am now relaxing, having dinner, planning tomorrow. 

Tomorrow I go to another country on another continent. 

It is great though to have dinner outside at 9pm in the middle of October.


There are many amazing places in the world. I have seen many of them. But a Friday night there is no place more amazing than home. Goodnight. 

The United Nations (UN) has appointed a new Secretary General.

It will be Portugal’s former Prime Minister Antonio Guterres, who takes over the role from January 1, according to the AP.


Guterres replaces South Korean Ban Ki-Moon, who has been in office for two five-year periods.

This is an excellent decision. 

It is also very good that the institution only grants officials two terms nowadays. Two terms should be a maximum in all international institutions.
