It is difficult to be able to describe your experiences and think that your thoughts are general and apply to all walks of life. I have been travelling the world for just over 15 years now, years in which I’ve seen many amazing and sad things. This blog is just an attempt to share what the world means to me and share my interests. All my posts are nothing more than my own opinion.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Wagner, but better know as Cabeça, an unfortunate childhood nickname that stuck. After 16 years in Europe, I returned to Brazil to teach secondary school, an old dream that I am finally realising!
I love meeting new people, increase my circle of friends. Always welcome the new, but keeping the old ones always around. From my own still brief life experience, there are two ways to make new friends: Travelling and food parties. Know how to travel, you will be able to share your experiences and learn a lot from others; know how to cook, everyone will want to try your food!
I do not travel with a purpose, to try to find myself, try to do one same thing in every place I go… I always found that travelling with a purpose constrained what I could do, as I never know what kind of experience my destinations will have to offer me. I have a Lagrangian approach to travel, I observe from where the place takes me.
Science plays a major role in my life, but I will mention it briefly. We live in a changing world, which makes it perhaps even more interesting. Climatologically speaking, economically speaking, culturally speaking, the world is ever evolving and the place you visit today will probably not be the same in 20 years, making travelling an infinite loop, a box full of surprises!
The name of my blog “The World is a Windmill” is the direct translation from a song by one of my favourite composers: Cartola. What this phrase means to me is that the world is constantly revolving around its axis, constantly changing everything from one form to the other… what we see now won’t be the same very soon, so experience the now before it changes!
Countries visited/next destinations… (not colour separated)
That is great, but You did not visit Finland. How is Finland looking like? One example:
Arctic Circle in winter.
I have not visited Finland yet! I can’t wait to go though! And I want to go during the winter! It must also be beautiful during the summer, but in winter is when you see the uniqueness of the place!
I was in the arctic circle, but I went to Svalbard, very close to the north pole!
Please have a look at Svalbard – Normay and Husky Puppies Playing!
But I will definitely go to Finland in the near future!
Hey there Newbie Spikey!
(for your info, a Spikey is the term for folk who are part of the clan known to be followers of Uncle Spike 🙂
Thank you… I really appreciate that as I for one, know how many interesting and entertaining blogs are out there.
Blogging since June 2013, my aim is to deliver an eclectic offering of posts, from my ‘point n shoot’ attempts at basic photography, to the sharing of my travel adventures over the decades, as well as day to day happenings here on the farm. Oh, plus a few observations, opinions and lighter-hearted stuff thrown in for good measure.
I normally keep to a couple of posts a day, maybe 3-4 at weekends if I have something special to share. But if you are at a loose end one day, maybe you’ll enjoy trawling through some of my older stuff too. I have added plenty of categories to help in said digging process.
Thanks again and hope you have a great day…

A fellow bull runner! Amazing! hehehehe! It’s a cool experience, I hope you are ok!
So…where are you from originally?
I am Brazilian! Left when I was 15 to live in Ireland, now living in the UK.
Thanks for the comment!
Okay…..so you will bring a lot of interesting perspectives to your adventures…! I do believe where we come from plays a very important role in our experiences….all the best.

Hi Wagner, Thank you for following my photography blog, Jane’s Lens. I hope you are inspired. I was just enjoying your post on bees. Very cool. Nice blog!
Thank you very much for stopping by! You are some really amazing pictures, I must say!
Yeah, I just popped in outside and there are three more bees nesting there. As soon as they close the nests, I will photograph them again!
Again, thank you!

I am going to have a go at this. I did have it once, but I found that the page gets too cluttered, but I will leave it on for more than 1 hour! Thanks for the advice!
Nice blog. I will follow it. It seems your “world'” is much larger than beebeesworld!
Thank you so much for stopping by and following me! After I had a listen to Lynyrd Skykyrd on your blog, well! No brainer to follow a blogger with such a good taste in music!
The world is as bit as we make it! Too bad we only have one lifetime to learn about it! I started the blog to try to, somehow, pass on the things I learn… I need something more solid though, but this is a nice start!
Thanks for visiting and following my blog! I’ve started reading yours and am enjoying it immensely! I’m looking forward to more. All the best, Linda

Terry
No problem! I hope you enjoy my blog!
Hello. Your writing and your pictures are fascinating.
Thank you very much! Comments like yours are what give me motivation to continue!
And I take my hat off for your fight… speaking for those with no voice. I have become involved in bees, ladybird and seed conservation in the past couple of years and I know how difficult it can be to achieve something, but the struggles continue on! Well done!
So glad to make the connection. All as a result of your recent decision to follow Learning from Dogs. Thank you very much.
Been following a few blogs of wildlife awareness and I came across yours! It’s a neat blog! Well done!
Thank you for stopping by!
Thanks so much for following Oh, the Places We See. Your blog is fascinating, and I’m glad to know you are pursuing a doctorate. You must have much passion for what you do, and you take the time to make your dreams become realities. Best wishes for continued success! http://ohtheplaceswesee.com

Thank you for the compliment! You blog is cool too! That pic of the weekly photo challenge is so sweet!

What a gorgeous song! I could listen to it again and again. It is Brazilian, yes? Lovely, lovely stuff. Look forward to reading more of your words. Cheers!
Yes! A brazilian samba composer called Cartola. And this is not this best song, I must say.
THank you very much for following me and stopping by!
Thanks for the visit and deciding to follow.
Thank you! Looking at your blog, I guess I missed quite a few of the weekly photo challenges… hopefully I won’t anymore! Thank you for the comment! I appreciate it!
You are welcome. Drop by anytime.

Thank you so much. I bought myself a Canon 550D for Christmas last year and I’m teaching myself to use it (slowly). 🙂

Thanks for visiting my blog! You’re lucky to have been to so many beautiful places 🙂
Thank you for the lovely comment! I am glad you liked it! Well, It’s great to have visited so many places, but there are still so many to go!
Thank you!
Hi Wagner. Thank you for visiting and following HoB. Much appreciated!
You have a very different blog! Very interesting, I must say!
Thank you for stopping by!
Thanks for coming in to my blog, stay a while, have a drink and I look forward to taking a blogging journey with you. Steve…
THank you for reciprocating! I hope you stay interested in my blog! And hope the Scottish vote goes your way (What way do you prefer???)! Wagner.
If it’s not broke, why fix it I say…
Indeed! I don’t think Scotland can gain much from the independence… You are already kind of independent, with the perks of being part of the European Union and having great international relations etc etc etc… having to rebuild all these can slow down the country for a while… what way do you think it will go, though?
I think at the end of the day although people are saying yes now, when it comes to it people just don’t like change and it will all go back to normal. I hope. Otherwise I’m moving haha
Hi there! Thanks for following me. I see you haven’t yet travelled to Canada (my home and native land). What’s stopping you? 🙂
