Selling my Camera gear

sellingcamerastuff

I was forced to buy a new Sony A3000 camera in Argentina after my A6000 broke down a few months back. Now that I am back in Germany, I don’t really need the A3000 anymore, because I will get my A6000 repaired. So if anyone wants to buy it off from me, please let me know 🙂 I am also selling two lenses and hope this post will provide all the information you need. If I can’t sell it here, I will put it on eBay next week.

Round-the-World Trip Statistics #02

It’s been 270 days or 9 months since I started my trip in Canada and so far I have spent nearly 13.000 €. I will actually take a break from traveling now for a couple of reasons, but have a lot of material left to keep you guys busy for a while – no worries 🙂

Level up (31)

Well, it is that special day of the year again – my birthday! Last year I spent my 30th in Greenland, this time I am in Brazil. Due to the fact that I was celebrating into it last night in Brasilia and a combined sleeping time of 3 hours in the last two nights, I decided to take it easy in Rio and will instead celebrate my birthday here on Friday – a much better day than today’s grey and rainy Tuesday 🙂 The weather forecast looks good and I will head to Petrópolis and Teresópolis tomorrow for some hiking in the Serra dos Orgãos. Turns out to be really expensive, but I will go anyway. So, onwards to 32 now, just another meaningless number… 🙂

Sony A6000 “Camera Error. Turn power off then on.”

Untitled12/03/2015 Instead of trekking around the Fitz Roy Massif in Patagonia right now, I was forced to return to El Chaltén after the first night! My Sony A6000 Camera is broken and has some sort of software defect, it always shows an error message and won’t work anymore. Maybe somebody here can help me out and knows a secret trick or key combination to fix it while I am trying to get in touch with the Sony support…. I can’t go to Antarctica without a good camera!! Thanks for your help 🙂

First Impressions from Iceland

I just got back from Iceland a few days ago and since I it will probably take me a long while until I can write a report about this amazing trip, I decided to at least upload some pictures so you can have a short look. There’s also a brief summary on what we’ve done in the week. Read the rest of this entry »

South America, Colombia, Medellín

Travelled from 29/06/2013 to 01/07/2013 – Facebook Photo Gallery

MedellinThe second stop in Colombia led us to Medellín, known to be one of the most dangerous cities in the world during the reigning period of famous drug lord Pablo Escobar. I was really keen on visiting the city after watching the TV Show Entourage, and it turned out to become one of my favorite places during the two months in South America.

Dublin Live

#d_dublin

“Welcome to Dublin – the city where the sun never stops shining.” – certainly the best line of a flight attendant ever while we touched down in the grey and rainy Dublin last night. I’m here to do three trainings for our customers in Ireland and the first one is already done while I am writing this post. Hopefully it won’t rain so much on the weekend since I want to walk the first 51km of the Wicklow Way! The weather today was actually quite nice while I was walking through the city after work – check out the pictures in this post if you like 🙂
