Thailand 2018
Two work appointments in Thailand were a week apart, and instead of suffering more from travel home and back, and cause more CO2, I used the time for some holiday, besides other places I stayed in Khao Sok. Besides the trip to the lake, I only travelled by foot or with the bicycle there. This…

Finding Snow – Thuringia 2014
It was Winter and where I lived I didn’t see much snow. But as I crave some snow every year, and checking the snow measurements of the nearby mountain area, I saw that several 100 metres higher there was a good amount of snow. So I decided to get on the train, go to the…

Scotland 2017
It has been already nearly 5 years ago, that I visited Scotland. I want to go again for a second time, the remote landscape is something so beautiful. Just looking at the image and remembering the time helps me feel relaxed.

The observatory was covered in snow and we were above the clouds. That were so many good, and yet sometimes contradicting experiences. Thanks…

Switzerland 2018
Hiking from Bern to Burgistein provided wonderful views of the Swiss Alps. A large thunderstorm cloud was forming ahead of us, but luckily, it did move away. In the distance, partly covered by clouds are Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau.

Cornwall 2018
To get here I took the sleeper train from London to Penzance and then started cycling out south towards Lands End. A tiny road heading towards the coast got my interest and led to this very quiet and wonderful beach. Even though that meant another hill (and there were loads to come, but I didn’t…

Brittany 2013
After a challenging train ride (or better: the steps between trains were challenging, like getting with two packed bicycles from one station to another in Paris), we were on our first cycle day, heading out westwards from Brest.
