Memories of Skye
The Isle of Skye is one of the most remote areas of Scotland, with the Hebrides archipelago around the corner. 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

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 get without hiking through Patagonia.
New Years Eve in Sydney
Sydney on New Year’s Eve is like someone spiked the Kool-Aid and handed it to an entire continent. The city gleams with a kind of sweaty anticipation, shimmering in the December heat as tourists and locals alike fight for a view of the harbor.
