Quick Look At My Recent Trip To Italy

Two days ago I was having a typical Italian breakfast: brioche and cappuccino. And when I’m sitting in my office 1400 km further north it is really hard to believe. Especially when this morning temperature dropped below zero. But here I am. I got back after 2 weeks of a combined car, train, scooter and bike voyage. What can I say? Italy was awesome. As always. (Just like the last one). Drive The drive is long. It takes about ... Read more

Why Do I Still Do Jogging?

In one of my previous posts I gave you my own and very personal 15 reasons why I do jogging. After a year I still do it. I even bought the real jogging shoes and for the first time in my life I feel like a quasi professional runner. OK, far from quasi professional but still fairly determined and stick to the routine. Not that I needed a motivation. Unlikely most of the people I have no problem with running in every possible ... Read more

Meet Justin and Lauren

Why people travel is a central question for me. I am traveling myself to find the answer why am I doing this? I always read what other travelers say about their motivation and – sadly – I often get disappointed with trivial replies. I think it is great to exchange ideas on personal motivations and when I got familiar with a Travel Blog by Justin and Lauren – a Canadian couple – I thought it is a good ... Read more

Königssee: A Marvelous One Day Hike

This was an awesome conclusion of my trekking spring: a one day hike in the German Alps with my friend. Needless to say the weather was marvelous, however, not everything went as smoothly as we planed. The start was pretty comfortable with excellent German facilities namely: parking lot WITH coins exchange (!) and ATM (!) on site! This is only possible in Germany, as far as I’m concerned. Mythical German organization appeared ... Read more

So many spectacular places I have seen! Hopefully the one I picked up will make you smile! Filming locations: Lake Tekapo, ... Read more
