San Cristóbal de las Casas, the first stop on my visit to Mexico, is known for three aspects of its past:
- It is a colonial town.
- In its surroundings, there still live a lot of indigenous people.
- It was a centre for the Zapatistas in the 1990s.

Walking the World
In autumn 2013, I spent a relaxing holiday in Croatia. In the years 2014 and 2015, however, the focus was more on hiking: in the Nordics, in the Caucasus, and in the Himalaya.

Hiking the Caucasus
As I really enjoyed my Caucasus trip the year before, but did not manage to see "everything", I returned to this region once more. This time, I focused mainly on Eastern Georgia: Kacheti and Tusheti.

Borjomi and the Lesser Caucasus
I really enjoyed the Borjomi region with its forested hills. I would have liked to spent more time there, but unfortunately, one day was all I had. So I went hiking in the hills around the town. Continue reading Borjomi and the Lesser Caucasus

Old caves, new castle
I have finally arrived at the last destination of this year’s stay in Georgia: Borjomi. From there, I went on an excursion to the impressive cave city of Vardzia.

Renovation successful, town dead
The centre of Sighnaghi with its brick buildings from the 18th and 19th century is very charming indeed – and very beautifully renovated. At the same time, however, it appears rather dead to me. Continue reading Renovation successful, town dead

AUT + ISL + NZL = Lagodekhi
Take a spoonful of Austria, add a pince of Iceland, and finish with a drop of New Zealand – and you get Lagodekhi National Park. Continue reading AUT + ISL + NZL = Lagodekhi
