South-Tirol 2012
What do you do for the first hike on vacation? You start walking and see where you get to. At some point you have a goal and you can easily reach it. And because you still feel fit, everything is so new and interesting, you think you can go a little further on the way […]

Maui 2012 (2)
The last transit of Venus took place in the summer of 2012. As part of this, I had the chance to take part in a workshop that included observing the transit. The accommodation for the workshop was at 1000 meters, on the slopes of Haleakala. And why use a car when you can also rent […]

Ore mountains 2012
A multi-day hike through the Vogtland and Erzgebirge in Germany gave us this fantastic view at almost 900m altitude. The hike was almost exactly 10 years ago. I probably didn’t have a lot of emotions on the trek, as few details have stayed with me to this day. I still remember a lot of the […]

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 […]

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, […]

Andalusia 2012
Spring 2012 was my (so far) last visit to the Calar Alto Observatory. This time, however, I first went to nearby Granada, where I gave a presentation on my project and was then able to have helpful discussions with my colleagues there. On the day of arrival, but also in the mornings and evenings on […]

Maui 2012
The last Transit of Venus happened in summer 2012. I had the chance to participate at a workshop about planet search around other stars. The day of the transit we spent on the summit of Haleakala, the highest mountain of Maui, Hawaii. From there we observed the transit and also learned a lot about geology […]

Sweden 2012
With a friend I cycled from Göteborg to Stockholm, where we visited another friend. On the way home I cycled alone to Trelleborg, and on the second day I passed this rock and wanted to take in a view of the overall landscape.
