Today, I made the “mistake” of attending the open day of the Austrian Parliament (which was re-opened after its renovation). When I got there 20 minutes before opening, it was already a bit busy. Continue reading At the heart of Austrian Democracy

Ending my vacation at a leisurely pace
My last vacation day was a rather relaxing one: I only had 24 kilometres to drive – and that is all I did. However, I took the opportunity to stop at the village of Masca on the way. Continue reading Ending my vacation at a leisurely pace

Side trip to the moon?
Today, I decided not to drive anywhere for hiking. Instead, I started my hike directly on my doorstep again: In just two hours, you can hike from Vilaflor (almost) to the moon – or more precisely, to a “lunar landscape”: the Paisaje Lunar. Continue reading Side trip to the moon?

New week, new island
At the start of my second (full) week of holidays on the Canary Islands, I took the ferry to the next island: Tenerife. I will spend the rest of my holidays there – even though the title might indicate that I will be switching islands weekly now. However, Tenerife is larger than Gran Canaria. So, I will (hopefully) not be bored. Continue reading New week, new island

Wild coast, ancient culture
Today, I wanted to visit the town of Gáldar. As the Cueva Pintada, a museum about the pre-hispanic Indigenous inhabitants of the island, only opened at 11 a.m., I also had time for a bit of exploration of the wild West coast to the North of Puerto de las Nieves. Continue reading Wild coast, ancient culture

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

Empty Arucas, crowded Teror
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

Kick-off to a Workation on the Canary Islands
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

Sleepy Maribor
On the way home, I made a short stopover in Maribor today. It is a nice little town, but (to be honest) I expected a little more. Continue reading Sleepy Maribor

A cozy capital
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
