Travelled from 19/06/2014 to 27/06/2014 – Facebook Photo Gallery

#21_moroccoMorocco will give you a good taste of the Arab culture with it’s vibrant markets, oriental cities and landscapes. I spent eight relaxing days in the country after three weeks of strenuous hiking in Greenland, using Airbnb for the first time and ending up in a great Moroccan riad in Marrakesh through it. Joined by my friend Reem, we explored Marrakesh, Tanger, Chefchaouen and Rabat together.

There’s also a brief summary on what we’ve done in the week. Read the rest of this entry »

East Europe Roadtrip Part I – Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland

Travelled from 26/08/2011 to 05/09/2011 – Facebook Photo Gallery

#19_east_europe_1

My trip to the eastern parts of Europe had certainly been a true backpacking trip, using a lot of buses and train connections between the 11 cities and experiencing all kinds of different Couchsurfing situations. The farther we traveled, the crazier it became – ultimately climaxing in Russia. I actually used this trip as an inspiration for my Huffington Post CS-article; feel free to check it out if you promise to come back here afterwards 😉

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.

Check out this entry to find out more and share any advice you might have! Read the rest of this entry »

Barrhorn – Video (German)

#16_swissalps

The video of my most recent Travel report about climbing the Barrhorn (3610m) is now done and I was able to stay just under 13 Minutes! The bad news is that I did not have the time to put subtitles in and there is a lot of German talking in the video. So please enjoy if you are either German, currently learning German or if you just want to see some motion pictures 🙂 Read the rest of this entry »
