Bewitching Tales and Brocken Spectres: A Winter Walk through the Harz Mountains, Germany

Inspired by the wintery night walks I mentioned before, I thought I might share an adult version of such and take you to the Harz mountain range in Northern Germany today, a range that is known for its natural beauty, its unique […]

A Water Beast, a Battlefield, and a Drawer Full of Porridge: Outlandish Discoveries in Inverness, a Scottish Gem Worth a Visit

Ever heard of Urquhart Castle? Or better yet, the Great Glen Way, which leads passed such fortress? No?! How about Inverness? That lovely city on Scotland’s northeast coast, a place full of history […]

Six Months of Travelling — Done: Where to Next?

“If adventures do not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad.” — Jane Austen …another quote that was ‘gifted’ to me this year and could not have been chosen any better as it appears to be something I lived by ever since I first left my hometown to explore […]

It’s My Party and I Hike If I Want to: A Surprisingly Perfect (Birth)Day in Wanaka, New Zealand

White chocolate-macadamia nut? Ginger snap? Double-chocolate? Oh boy, I’m not sure I can decide having pondered about what flavours they might have for the past 20 minutes… Glued to the edge of my seat, the movie was just about to take another turn as the […]

Lockdown Walks Down Memory Lane: Vancouver, Canada

Welcome back, my fellow travellers and lockdown walkers! I’m afraid today is going to be the penultimate walk, and even worse, the last one abroad before bringing it back home for number 10, walk number 10 that is, but I guess we’ve been following government restrictions down to a […]

Lockdown Walks Down Memory Lane: Mount Pinatubo, Philippines

Not quite 82 summits but the 40th birthday of another dear friend of mine did lead to a mini adventure which I would like to share on today’s lockdown walk down memory lane. That one also fits a bit better into our allocated time window not necessarily leaving much room for a feat such as […]

Lockdown Walks Down Memory Lane: Balmoral Beach, Sydney, Australia

Having travelled to the other side of the world for the last walk, I thought we might want to stay down under for a little bit longer, top up on that tan, and check out another one of my absolute favourite places. No hiking efforts required for that one, I think we’ve done plenty of […]
