After my stay on the island of Koh Lanta, I went back to the mainland. However, also my next destination had some properties that are usually typically of an island: It can only be reached by boat, and not by road. Continue reading The amazing beaches of Krabi

Relaxing on Koh Lanta
After saying goodbye to Northern Thailand, it is now time for the Thai beaches. I decided to visit the province of Krabi for that, as it is supposed to be not as crowded as the “big names” like Phuket or Ko Samui. The first three (full) days, I spent on the island of Koh Lanta. Continue reading Relaxing on Koh Lanta

Atolls of the South Pacific
For my last stop in French Polynesia, I said goodbye to the Society Islands (and therefore to the mountainous islands inside a lagoon). Instead, I moved on to the Tuamotu archipelago: older islands where only the surrounding reef remains, in the middle of which there is a large lagoon. Continue reading Atolls of the South Pacific

Ambivalent South Pacific
Bora Bora is the closest to an South Pacific dream destination (at least so far). However, there was also an incident here that marred my experience somewhat. Continue reading Ambivalent South Pacific

Sleepy South Pacific
The second “real” stop on my island hopping tour through French Polynesia was Huahine: smaller and sleepier than Moorea – like Moorea 30 years ago
, as my host in Moorea assured me. Continue reading Sleepy South Pacific

South Pacific cliché
Tahiti was actually just a short stop-over. My true South Pacific adventure really did start with five days in Moorea. Continue reading South Pacific cliché

Workation on the Canary Islands
In fall 2022, I tried out something new: I combined (a bit over) three weeks of vacations with (a bit under) three weeks of teleworking. In total, I spent six weeks on the Canary Islands – more precisely, on Gran Canaria and Tenerife.

A second (work) week in Los Gigantes
My second week of teleworking from Los Gigantes was basically very similar to the first one. The main difference is that it was shorter: I am already flying home today (ie. on Thursday). Other than that, I spent my free time again with swimming and watching the sunset. Continue reading A second (work) week in Los Gigantes

Walking through hell
As hiking around Los Gigantes is not that easy (as already explained in the last blog entry), I took the bus towards the South today. I decided to explore a very popular canyon: Barranco del Infierno. Continue reading Walking through hell

A (work) week in Los Gigantes
After my vaction, it is time for teleworking again. This time, I am based in Los Gigantes on the (South) West coast of Tenerife. Compared to my first work week in Gran Canaria, I may have explored the area a bit less, and concentrated more on swimming in the sea – but that is nothing to complain about, especially in mid-November.
