Cinque Terre & surroundings
The Five Lands… who would not want to permanently reside here…? Beautiful views, great food, strong espressos and delicious tiramisu… what else would you wish for? We visited four out of the five terres. Best reached by train, as parking is nonexistent, let alone the windy access roads. Riomaggiore Riomaggiore is the most southern town…

The Day After
Well, not quite the day after, but it hadn’t been too long after fires raged Seqioa National Forest when I visited the community of Havilah, California. The smell of burned wood was still there, and the loss immense. Walking by the ruins of a house feels very different from watching it on TV, knowing that…

Sevilla, Spain
Old Town Sevilla almost feels like a city within a city. Once you settle there, you don’t want to leave old town.

Downside is that you see the airshow ‘from the back’. This years’ airshow feels a bit watered down. A lot of fly-by’s by moderner military airplanes,…

Barcelona
Barcelona…. once considered a sleepy industrial outpost on the Mediterranean Sea, reinvented itself thanks to the Olympic Games in ’92. Old buildings designed by Gaudi were cleaned up. The subway system was modernized. And what a cosmopolitan city it has become! Plaça Catalunya We start our tour at the heart of Catalunya, the so-called ‘autonomous…

Thailand – Krabi
On my third trip to Thailand I had the privilege to visit Krabi, also known as the less known neighbor of Phuket, however that is not apparent on the amount of visitors. We actually stayed at a smaller place called Railay Beach, which is reachable by boat only. It does have it charms, less busy,…
