Taking a backpacking trip is a dream come true. The only weight you have is what you take on your shoulders and your responsibilities are usually locked in a safe, which you open when you return and you already look at it differently. Now your house is different. It no longer has four walls. The decoration is never final. Your home is wherever you want, with whoever you want.



After a few months of backpacking, I couldn't feel more fulfilled. The world is mine and I belong to the world. However, one of the things I feel is that the best part of backpacking is when you're not with your backpack. Of course, I loved the dozens of bus, train and plane trips I have already taken. All the wonderful landscapes I've seen and all the people I've shared endless conversations with, some with a lot of meaning, others not so much, but undoubtedly special. However, it's when I take the weight off my shoulders that I feel better, close to myself, and close to the goal I want to achieve: getting to know myself better, knowing how to be with myself and, above all, learning to enjoy being with myself
While reading a travel blog article about Tanzania, I discovered Kilwa and the Slow Leopard hostel in Kilwa. It wasn't on my route or in my initial plans. But what's a backpacking trip without a change of plans? Boring. Reading the words of the girl who found herself in Kilwa and decided to extend her stay - instead of staying three days, she decided to stay two weeks - I decided that this was where I had to put down my backpack for a few.
Lorem ipsum (/ˌlɔː.rəm ˈɪp.səm/ LOR-əm IP-səm) is a dummy or placeholder text commonly used in graphic design, publishing, and web development. Its purpose is to permit a page layout to be designed, independently of the copy that will subsequently populate it, or to demonstrate various fonts of a typeface without meaningful text that could be distracting.
Lorem ipsum is typically a corrupted version of De finibus bonorum et malorum, a 1st-century BC text by the Roman statesman and philosopher Cicero, with words altered, added, and removed to make it nonsensical and improper Latin. The first two words are the truncation of dolorem ipsum ("pain itself").
Versions of the Lorem ipsum text have been used in typesetting since the 1960s, when advertisements for Letraset transfer sheets popularized it.[1] Lorem ipsum was introduced to the digital world in the mid-1980s, when Aldus employed it in graphic and word-processing templates for its desktop publishing program PageMaker. Other popular word processors, including Pages and Microsoft Word, have since adopted Lorem ipsum,[2] as have many LaTeX packages,[3][4][5] web content managers such as Joomla! and WordPress, and CSS libraries such as Semantic UI.
Example text
A common form of Lorem ipsum reads:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
Source text
The Lorem ipsum text is derived from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of Cicero's De finibus bonorum et malorum.[6][7] The physical source may have been the 1914 Loeb Classical Library edition of De finibus, where the Latin text, presented on the left-hand (even) pages, breaks off on page 34 with "Neque porro quisquam est qui do-" and continues on page 36 with "lorem ipsum ...," suggesting that the galley type of that page was mixed up to make the dummy text seen today.[1]
The discovery of the text's origin is attributed to Richard McClintock, a Latin scholar at Hampden–Sydney College. McClintock connected Lorem ipsum to Cicero's writing sometime before 1982 while searching for instances of the Latin word consectetur, which was rarely used in classical literature.[2] McClintock first published his discovery in a 1994 letter to a Before & After magazine editor,[8] contesting the editor's earlier claim that Lorem ipsum had no meaning.[2]
The relevant section of Cicero as printed in the source is reproduced below with fragments used in Lorem ipsum underlined. Letters in brackets were added to Lorem ipsum and were not present in the source text:
