Finally weekend again
It’s been a busy few weeks. I’ve moved and it feels like the last few weeks were filled with online shopping, planning, moving stuff, painting, moving more stuff and painting again. Slowly my new place is coming together and slowly I’ve got more time to do other things. As it…
The pink of summer at Kirschenblütenallee
It’s been a looooong winter. And it doesn’t seem to end. I look outside the window and see dark clouds looming in the sky. Summer is absolutely fantastic in Berlin, but somehow Mother Nature decided to make us wait. As if the ongoing lockdown isn’t enough… But occasionally she surprises…
Into the depths of Peru
I was nervous because I had booked a trip on the Inca trail. I’d read it’s a hard trail, mainly because of the altitude and since this would be my first time at such an altitude, I had no idea how my body would react. I decided to make my…
Overview of the 66 Seen Weg
About a year ago I decided to go on an adventure in my own backyard. Ok, it’s a relatively new backyard, but I feel like we often forget about what’s close to us, regardless of how long we’ve been in a place. The grass always seems greener somewhere else. If…

A water-filled weekend in Thailand
Venturing into the Khao Sok national park My boat sped up on the big lake of Khao Sok national park in Thailand. Water splashed in my face since I was at the very edge of the boat. I tried to protect my camera and bag, while looking around me mesmerized…
Mystery and secrets in Laos
Even on my way to Phonsavan I wasn’t sure if it would be worth the trip. But that’s the thing about traveling, if you take a chance, at times you’re rewarded with unique experiences you never expected to have. Phonsavan is the capital of the most bombarded province in the…
A loop from Bad Freienwalde
Bad Freienwalde is a spa town in Brandenburg, North East of Berlin, not far from the Polish border. It’s a small town with a cute square and some shops. As you leave the center of town, you will find villas that were clearly built in a different time. In the…
Rafting in Český Krumlov
The Vltava river runs straight through Czechia and can be seen in many postcards with the view of Prague’s castle and old town. It’s caused havoc in Prague when the water levels rose significantly and a big part of the city flooded. However, further away from the bustle of the…
