#DiarioTenerife, giorno 5.

I giorni scorsi sono stati spettacolari, fra la visita al Teide e la scoperta di nuovi punti panoramici da cui guardare il mondo dall'alto.

Oggi mi ritrovo a #garachico, paese distrutto da una eruzione nel 1706 e poi totalmente ricostruito, che trovo ogni volta più confusionario. Tempo fa il sottofondo era l'oceano; ora è il rumore dei motori e del traffico: destino comune a tutta l'isola.

The civil engineer who stopped a port from being built in Tenerife.

💾 I'm taking part in this year's #SolarpunkJam!

I teamed up with two Indonesian game developers, and we're going to make a game that deals with welcoming outsiders to a thriving but secluded community and the collective traumas that #overtourism leaves on communities.

I'll be in charge of lore, characters and dialogues. Can't wait to get my hands dirty with this project! 🤩

North Wales is a dystopian tourist hell today.

All very sad: everybody causing traffic chaos, parking nightmares, just to take an 'Insta' shot and then leave, often dumping their rubbish on the ground behind them.

Three more years, and I'm out of here. It's become a very, very sick joke.
