Germany 2011

If you go on a business trip to Hawaii (and the North American East Coast on the way back) and live 250 kilometres away from Frankfurt Airport, why not cycle to the airport instead of taking the train? And while you’re at it, why not go wild camping too? Having experience of long bike rides…

Canada 2012

On the sidelines of a conference, and on the way back from Maui, I had the chance to see Niagara Falls as well. The visit was a bit different than what I preferred at the time, we came in a large group and in general Niagara Falls is a very touristy place so totally different…

La Palma 2014 (4)

Most houses on La Palma have a roof terrace and due to the steep slopes, every house has a good view in at least one direction. Since I liked to get up early and because of the La Palma time zone, sunrises and sunsets are very late, I was able to enjoy the sunrise regularly.…

Spain 2017

I had the chance to visit friends in Spain. And so, at the beginning of March, this hike in the Sierra de Huetor National Park took place with not exactly the best weather and yet it was already very spring-like. There was a lot of change in the landscape again, from olive groves through dry…

England 2022 (2)

The Easter weekend came like (nearly) every year with the best weather, lots of sun and warm temperatures. Being outside is nice, it’s so green and flowery. This is one of many impressions from the weekend, as a flower lover one could take photos like this every 5 minutes.

Norway 2014 (7)

Before our hike we had a day to explore Tromsø. We used part of the time to visit the Fjellheisen, from where you have a really nice view over the city. There we unpacked our walking sticks for the first time to practice handling them before the heavy backpack would be added. We had some…

Sweden 2012 (3)

With a friend I cycled from Göteborg to Stockholm, where we visited another friend. On the way home I cycled alone to Trelleborg, and camped wild. The nice thing about Sweden is, that it’s legal, hence no need to worry about being seen. And it’s nice to have water always close, a swim to wash…

Thuringia 2012

At the moment it looks like that outside again. Spring is here with warm days and awakening nature. I like the contrast between white flowers and green fields. It pulls me outside, also because you can rest comfortably again. After recently being able to take my fist long break on the grass without freezing for,…

Dresden 2022

During my visit to Germany this spring I also had the chance to visit Dresden. After almost two weeks of warm weather in Europe (which included the time I packed for the trip) it was bitterly cold that day with 2 to 6°C due to a north wind. Even six layers weren’t enough to stay…

Austria 2008

The day started for me with a little migraine. So we only took a short walk to the portal of the Tauern Tunnel. Luckily the effects of the migraine weren’t too bad and by midday things were getting better. The buddy I was on vacation with wanted to relax for the day, but in the…
