Having pancakes at Prinsengracht
I know that I should stay away from pancakes after my sturdy Moroccan breakfasts a few weeks ago, but I happen to be in Amsterdam and it would be unwise to skip the infamous Pancake Bakery at Prinsengracht.
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.
Barcelona bikes
I noticed several people riding red bikes in Barcelona recently. So far this year over 100 bike stations has been constructed in the city, strategically located near metro and bus stations.
The legacy of Gaudí in Barcelona
If there is anyone who has placed their mark on Barcelona, it would be Antoni Gaudí. His masterpiece La Sagrada Família is famous all over the world.
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. Our first stop was at the Thetford Reef.
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.
New Years Eve in Sydney
The year is about to get wrapped up, so me and Emelie are on our way to Mrs Macquarie’s Point in the Botanic Gardens of Sydney. It is the best view in the city, where the Opera House is seen in front of the massive fireworks in the harbor area.
