Photo Essay: Winding Streets of Sitges, Barcelona

June 16, 2013 2 comments

Summer has arrived in Barcelona – Locals have finally ditched their boots to jump into their sandals. Not that I hadn’t worn sandals or summer dresses until now – in the contrary, all I had actually packed were sandals and summer dresses. But for some odd meteorological reason, May in Barcelona could almost be compared [...]

Photo Essay: Hiking the Trails of Montserrat (Catalonia, Spain)

May 30, 2013 5 comments

As soon as I declared the news of my move to Barcelona, I started to receive messages of friends and family that told me how much I would love Barcelona and its surrounding. I’m not going to lie to you: I knew that as well – even before I set my feet on its ground. [...]

Photo Essay: Hiking the Lost World of Masca’s Ravine (Tenerife)

May 21, 2013 9 comments

Masca is a tiny and remote village in the Northwest of Tenerife. When I say tiny, I really mean it – Masca is home to merely 80 habitants. Its access is an adventure of its own. Well, for visitors, that is. – Us locals are used to the twisting and turning of narrow roads that [...]

Big City Detox (And Giveaway Winner Announcement!)

May 17, 2013 2 comments

Sometimes, I love the buzz and fast pace of a city that never sleeps (yes, New York – you’re not the only one, competition is tough out there!). And then there are days where I just want to escape to a beach hut or little wooden cabin in the mountains to decompress and detach of [...]

I’m living in Barcelona. Wait, what?

May 3, 2013 7 comments

Wasn’t it just a few weeks ago that I was celebrating the career boost of living abroad? And just a few weeks before that, that I was promising myself to explore more of London and (kind of) committing to a new blog series about the city? Well, yes – That’s right. But… … Life rarely [...]

Photo Essay: Hiking Mutianyu – The Great Wall of China

March 14, 2013 7 comments

“Only one week in China? You’ll manage to see the airport and bits of Shanghai – but don’t expect any more than that.” Friends and colleagues warned be before my departure. I was crazy to fly over 12 hours across two continents for only 7 days of fun. I knew it was impossible to visit [...]

Photo Essay: Hiking from Seaford to Eastbourne – The Seven Sisters

March 10, 2013 10 comments

I checked the weather forecast as usual. Just a few days before my long-planned excursion, the odds were in my favor: Saturday would be sunny with zero chance of rain. I should have known better. One and a half years in England have proven that weather forecasts can’t be relied on – specially when it’s [...]

Photo Essay: My Winter Escape to the Country Side

February 1, 2013 8 comments

Anyone living in London knows (or will soon learn) the importance of balancing your fast-paced city life with something else to maintain sanity. No wonder many Londoners retire to the country side over weekends – I can’t think of any better way of disconnecting from the city’s buzz, than with a home-made meal accompanied by [...]

Photo Essay: The Closest I got to Mont-Blanc (France)

January 24, 2013 9 comments

Taking the cable cars up to Aiguille du Midi is an interesting experience. I paid 35 EUR to squeeze into a cabin with 68 strangers. I fought my way in quickly, to stand close to one of the windows. On my left, a fully equipped british couple, ready to jump off piste and climb glaciers. [...]

Picture This: Taking the Highest Vertical Ascent Cable Car in the World (France)

January 20, 2013 3 comments

This time I rang in the New Year in a ski resort – surrounded by extreme snow and ice sports lovers. Just the way I like it (you know, it makes me feel a bit more sporty myself). Every day, I woke up early (much earlier than I would like to admit) to drive to [...]
