Food, glorious food. That is what I base most of my travel activities on, I admit. From a cooking class in Mexico City to a food tour in Berlin and Kriol cooking in Belize I love to try local food. I didn’t really know what to expect from Czech cuisine, but when I was planning […]
Berlin had quite an effect on me. I loved the city, the funky vibes, and amazing food scene, but Berlin still has the shadows of a dark past. Germany and Berlin are not afraid to face that past though, to remember it, cherish the memory of those who fell during the world wars, and during […]
I was excited about my first visit to the Czech Republic, my 33rd country, and one that had been on my list for a long time. After being at home for a month, I needed some space of my own, so instead of staying in a hostel as usual, I was looking for an apartment. […]
Brno is the Czech Republic’s second-largest city and is often overshadowed by Prague and smaller touristy towns like Cesky Krumlov. However, don’t underestimate Brno. I spent 3 nights in Brno and found plenty to do in this buzzing city. If you still need convincing, here’s why you should go to Brno and some suggestions for […]
I’d already been to Berlin a couple of months before, but I came back to the city for the travel exhibition ITB Berlin in March. The last time I had just snapped a couple of photos of the tallest building in Berlin, the Berlin TV Tower or “Fernsehturm”, but this time I was going to […]

And now you can even make your own gin in Barcelona. My friend Brian and his business partner Pablo have developed their own gin distilling business, Corpen […]
I am not very sporty, I admit. I hate the gym, I don’t play well with others, and I only run if something is chasing me. But I do like to try new things like scuba diving. So, when Planet Surf Camps invited me to try out surfing lessons for a week at their surf […]
I love Barcelona. The city was my adopted home for three years before I disappeared to travel the world. Now, it is always a pleasure to come back, visit old friends, eat all the amazing food, and discover new hidden gems that I didn’t know existed. In between staying with friends in Sitges and Barcelona, […]
I lived in Leeds for 10 years, I went to university there then stuck around after graduation. I have very fond memories of the city where I spent my student days, for its huge variety of shops, bars, restaurants and nightlife. However, it is only recently I have come to appreciate the cultural side of […]
Iceland has been on my bucket list for a while, and the land of fire and ice is unlike anywhere else on the planet. For the moment, I’ve had to postpone my Iceland travel plans until I save up some more cash, but to keep my wanderlust in check I’ve been exploring some of the […]
