Driving across Scotland
We came, we saw, we had a fistful of haggis. The road was long and we covered about 1500 miles in a week with visits to uncountable cities, towns and tiny villages.

Memories of Skye
The Isle of Skye is one of the most remote areas of Scotland, with the Hebrides archipelago around the corner. Despite narrow roads on hillsides with sharp turns and the occasional sheep on the road, the countryside is charming and some places even have coffee.

Having pancakes at Prinsengracht
Amsterdam in the morning smells like wet cobblestone, burnt coffee and last night’s regrets drifting out of the sewers. The city wears its hangover like a badge of honor, and the streets along Prinsengracht are already awake.

The winds of Essaouira
Essaouira feels different than many other towns in Morocco. A stubborn, salty ghost town with sand in its teeth and stories in its bones. The kind of place where time limps along, trailing the scent of grilled fish and centuries-old trade routes.

A sip of coffee in Marrakesh
Marrakesh is not a smooth ride. It grabs you by the collar, drags you into a whirlwind of honking mopeds, snake charmers and the scent of something vaguely sweet decaying under the Moroccan sun.

On the desert road through the Atlas Mountains
The Atlas Mountains loomed in the distance like ancient gods, silent and unmoved, watching my bus snake its way up and over their jagged spines. Every curve was a gamble. Every oncoming bus a reminder that mortality often rides on four wheels and has questionable brakes.

The legacy of Gaudí in Barcelona
If there is anyone who has placed their mark on Barcelona, it would be Antoni Gaudí. His surreal fever dreams still rise above it all. Melting stone, warped towers and twisted shapes that seem more hallucination than architecture.

Exploring Costa Brava
The weekend was spent in the Catalonia region of eastern Spain, where we rented a car and roamed through beautiful villages.

Diving at the Great Barrier Reef
The Great Barrier Reef off the northern coast of Australia is the world’s largest coral reef system. An underwater dream stretching along the Queensland coast like nature’s own fairy tale.

Mythbusting in Wellington
I’m currently in Wellington, New Zealand. At latitude 41°S, it’s the southernmost national capital city in the world. This is about as far south as you can be without hiking through Patagonia.
