08-Nov-2024, every year I go on a hiking and (wild) camping trip with a group of three friends that formed a long time ago through work. At least my friends go every year, and I join them whenever I can and when I am not working abroad… or busy living in Bali. They planned an impromptu short hike in the fall this year, and I happen to be in the Netherlands around this time, so I am fortunate enough to…
30-Jun-2024, A dream come true! Well, it’s not my first time in Tirol nor is it my first time climbing (obviously), but hiking and climbing is always a dream coming true, no matter how often I do it. My job brings me to Tirol, a large and beautiful mountainous area, in Austria. It’s summer and I have the weekend off… what else can I wish for? I do some online research and quickly find a beautiful long hike; The Eagle…
From the yoga shala straight into the night clubs of Ibiza. I just come back from a wonderful week at the yoga retreat in Mallorca. This was at a beautiful and serene Mediterranean finca. We had delicious vegetarian food challenging yoga practices and workshops and now I am completely zen. I feel wonderful but I don’t have much time to enjoy the afterglow of the retreat. On the day we check out from the finca we fly to Ibiza, flipping…
09-Jun-2024, After a short introduction to both finca’s, meeting the large group and a warm-up yoga session yesterday, Sunday June 9th 2024, is the first official day of the yoga retreat in Mallorca. I have been looking forward to this day for over six months and I have not been disappointed. I am careful with getting high expectations but this retreat has been absolutely amazing for several reasons. It has been such a wonderful trip and experience that on Day…
My next adventure takes me to Mallorca, a beautiful Spanish island. A trip that I am looking forward to for a long time and one I am very excited about. With two of my friends; Anggina and Marina, we are going to do a 6-day yoga retreat Reconnect and Recharge by Svenja Berndt. I have been doing yoga on a regular base the last few years and I am enjoying the practice a lot, so it is time to do…
First of all… Happy New Year to all my loyal readers, may all your dreams and wishes come true for 2024!!! Let this be a spectacular year for us all! A few months have passed since my last story so I figured it is time to share another story, or maybe more of a summary. After traveling for two months all over the world (USA and Europe) – as my job requires me to do so, and I wanted to…
28-aug-2022 Yes, you better believe the title of this story. It is true, I finally did it. But it did not come easy! This is the second part of the story about my adventure of hiking the highest mountain in Germany. Last time I ended the story with my preparations for this day; I had bought a new backpack and I parked a bicycle at the finish point of the hike and I went to bed early. Via ferrata: a…
27-aug-2022 It has been on my bucket list for over a year now to climb the highest mountain of Germany; The Zugspitze with a peak of 2962 meter. This seed was planted last year when I met up with an old Couch Surfing friend, Stephanie, her partner Matthias and their newborn baby Leopold. We met at the Eibsee, a beautiful green lake at the foot of the Zugspitze Mountain. At that time we just had a relaxing day…
