The northernmost capital of the world
In the next two-and-a-half weeks, I will explore a country that has been on my travel wish list for quite some time: Iceland.

From City to Sea
My vacation in Croatia was rather atypical for me. Apart from exploring some cities and national parks, I mainly spent my time relaxing on the beach. Pure indulgence!

Split away from the tourist hordes
Split is also overrun with tourists – even now, after the end of high season. So, I tried to explore the city at rather uncommon times, and visit rather uncommon places. This way, I got spend some nice time in the city. Continue reading Split away from the tourist hordes
