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.

From mountain to sea
I want to dedicate the next few days of my holidays to the Anaga mountains in the North East of the island of Tenerife. In other to get an idea of the different altitude levels of this nature park, I decided to start with a hike from the view point Cruz del Carmen (at almost 1000 metres above sea level) to Punta del Hidalgo (at the coast).

The West coast of Gran Canaria
On my last day with a rental car in Gran Canaria, I (once again) explored some windy mountain roads – this time the road connecting the South coast with the West coast of the island. Continue reading The West coast of Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria is in Africa!
Today, I said farewell to Gran Canaria’s interior, and returned to the coast. I hiked trough the sand dunes of Maspalomas, which given a certain desert vibe – if it was not for the large number of tourists, that is. Continue reading Gran Canaria is in Africa!

A (work) week in Las Palmas
I spent the last five days teleworking from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. However, I also enjoyed my free time in the (late) afternoons. Continue reading A (work) week in Las Palmas

All across the world
Between autumn 2016 and autumn 2019, I was criss-crossing the globe on my travels: China, the United States, Ecuador, South Africa, Lesotho, and Vietnam were all on my itinerary.

Relaxing, not hiking
Even though I could not do the hike I had planned, I enjoyed myself in Coffee Bay – I simply had two rather relaxing days there. Continue reading Relaxing, not hiking
