When the invincible becomes “vincible” It is not as if she has never heard of altitude. It is not as if she has never heard of altitude sickness. It is not as if she didn´t know of the importance of altitude acclimatization. It is not … Oh yes, she knew…
After the decades of travel to hundreds of destination I finally found the worst and the most boring travel destination in the world
If there is anything locals and visitors to a ten million (plus) Colombian capital city, Bogota, can always count on; it is: The sun only shines in Bogota in the mornings – before 1 p.m. Each Sunday morning and early afternoon Ciclovía takes place in the city – a reclaim…
Nothing kills the fun of travel faster than ill-suited accommodation. You can try to accept the inapt residence during short(er) travels, however, you cannot ignore it when traveling long-term.

Oh yes – security. Hot hot topic. It is all about security these days. But truth be told the issues of safety and security were never really much of concern to me. I practiced common sense and it worked just fine. Luckily nothing has ever happened to me nor to…
What plan? There isn’t any. Well, I know what I am going to do for the first couple of weeks (one has to start somewhere), but other than that? None. Will decide once I get there. Of course, I do have some general ideas of what I’d like to do…
Travel light, pack light, you always pack too much, guaranteed you won’t even wear half of the stuff you’re bringing, whatever you need you can easily purchase at the location, even the whole new wardrobe if you like; and more of the same … this is what I hear/read in every…
