88 days diaries: The cherry carrousel
The cherry season is starting. I am not alone anymore. Two Taiwanese girls and an American boy have joined me in the house. It is so much fun to have people around, even though we all have to wait to use the shower now. It is refreshing to have people…
Weekly Photo Challenge: Inside
I took this photo on Kangaroo Island in South Australia. I was visiting the Island with a group and captured this image of one of my fellow travelers exploring the site. I framed him in between the rocks and it seems to me like he is in deep though, pondering.…
Fringe in the mall: photos
March is festival month in Adelaide. Every weekend there are at least 4 festivals going on, varying from theatre to sports and music. Last long weekend was the street theatre festival as part of the bigger Fringe Festival. Street performers from all over the world were performing on set times…
88 days diaries: Shock and tears
During my travels I’ve met lots of different people. I’ve come across some situations where I felt like I was being pushed around. Somehow people think they can treat you like shit because you are a traveller. I find it hard to deal with this, but sometimes you’ve got to…

88 days diaries: Back to the waterworks
The cherry season was fast approaching, but there was one important thing to finish out in the fields: irrigation. This time I worked with a French backpacker called Ivan. Every day we got a quad bike and a repair kit and were send to work on different areas in the…
Ancient Australian Art

Narrow streets like in the European cities from the middle ages are nonexistent. To me, many buidings lack the character, the charm that I see in the old cities around Europe, but…
Looking back at the 2014 society
The Adelaide Fringe Festival is still going strong. We’re about halfway through so I’m trying to find the shows worth seeing in the last two weeks. Yesterday I decided to opt for something a little different: a comedy walking tour through the city center. We were welcomed by a penguin…
