Hunting for kebab in Shiraz
Shiraz. A city that rolls off the tongue like a line of Persian poetry, but hits the senses like a slap of saffron and diesel. It’s not just a place, it’s a mood.
New Years Eve in Prague
The year is about to end and I’m spending the last day in Prague, the beautiful gothic capital of Czechia. Since it’s also the last day of the decade, we might as well go out with a bang.
Celebrating Sinterklaas in Amsterdam
I’m back in Amsterdam where they celebrate the Saint Nicholas’ eve today. This guy is the basis for the more familiar Santa Claus, but originally this eve was the celebration of Saint Nicholas, patron saint of children.
Fall of the Berlin Wall
Berlin doesn’t forget. It just mutates. Concrete slabs become canvases. Watchtowers become tourist traps. But beneath the layers of currywurst stands and souvenir shops selling faux fragments of tyranny, you can still hear the echo of boots on asphalt.
Sweet days in Provence
Nice is nice, but after walking along the beach of Promenade des Anglais and spending a few hours exploring the city I felt quite done with it. If you got the time I strongly recommend exploring the surrounding area.
Across the sand dunes in Denmark
You don’t need to visit Arrakis to experience massive sand dunes. A few days ago I was driving around in Denmark with friends. We saw an unusually large dune by the horizon and drove there.
Bunker safari in Denmark
I guess most people visit Denmark for the friendly atmosphere and nice food. But then again, I’m not like most people. During this road trip across Denmark, the main topic was German bunkers from World War II.
From Gothenburg to Tokyo by train
It was a magnificent day for departure with clear skies and 11 degrees Celsius. Me and Frida donned our heavy backpacks at the Central Station in Gothenburg and boarded the first train of many to come.
Being Godzilla in Tokyo
I walked alone in the streets of Tokyo, like a benign Godzilla without the sharp teeth. Everywhere I went, people stopped in their tracks and stared at the six-foot-five gaijin. I did a “smile and wave” like the mad penguins in Madagascar movie, and started humming on the song “Big in Japan” by Alphaville.
Alone in Kyoto
Kyoto isn’t Tokyo. It whispers softly and lures you in with the rustle of bamboo and the silence between footsteps. It doesn’t fight to get your attention. You will listen anyway.
