Also today, I was drawn to places outside the city. I will spend the next week in Las Palmas anyway – mostly working, but hopefully I will also find some time for short explorations within the city. So, I decided to visit two nice towns a bit further away today: Arucas and Teror. Continue reading Empty Arucas, crowded Teror

Caldera from below and above
Today in the morning, I had something close to beach weather for the first time: No winds, and (almost) clear skies. Therefore, I decided to go hiking. Continue reading Caldera from below and above

I am trying something new: I am combining work with vacation. So, I am spending the next six weeks on the Canary Islands – a bit over half of that on vacation, and the remainder working remotely. Continue reading Kick-off to a Workation on the Canary Islands
Hiking at our Southern neighbors
After two years of Corona, it was finally time for a trip abroad again in early Summer 2022 – though still quite close to home: I spent three weeks exploring South Tyrol and Slovenia.

On the one hand the weather should be better there, and on the other hand one can go hiking below the surface, in karst caves. Continue reading The caves of Škocjan county

When you are spending ten days in Slovenia, a visit to the capital should also be on the itinerary. Therefore, I spent a couple of hours in Ljubljana today. Continue reading A cozy capital
Beautiful Bled
My tour of lakes continues: Today, I visited Lake Bled. Additonally, I also hiked through Vintgar Gorge (which is close by). Continue reading Beautiful Bled
Off to Bohinj!
I spent the last two days in an accommodation near Lake Bohinj. Since this region was so beautiful, I limited myself to exploring the immediate surroundings. Why seek far afield when waterfall, lake and gorge are all within walking distance? Continue reading Off to Bohinj!
