“Let’s leave the Caribbean Sea behind and go suuuuurfing”.
My friend and I spent some beautiful relaxing days at the turquoise Caribbean Coast and thought it was time for some action. To no surprise we found ourselves on a two-days trip towards one of the most famous surfer towns in all of Mexico: Puerto Escondido. It is located at the Pacific Coast in the Mexican state of Oaxaca and even though …
Can you imagine to enter a plane in rainy London and four hours later enjoy the sunshine in Melbourne? Hard to believe, but this might become true in the not too distant future. British scientists have developed a concept for a new ‘hypersonic’ plane, which could change the way we travel drastically. This project is “part of an EU drive to push forward the boundaries of air travel“. According to …
What do you associate with ship containers? Probably you think about storing, shipping and transporting goods, right? I had the same thought UNTIL I heard about the Boxpark Project – the first pop-up mall in the world, which is constructed by ship containers. Yes, walk-in containers with fancy lifestyle brands, cosy café’s and snack bars, all sized ‘down’ to a small box. But it isn’t just a simple mall …
You love surfing and the sound of the sea? You’d never leave the beach if you could? Well, this one might be for you.
Two fellows, Marta and Jez, both travelers and surfers, had the idea to construct a portable home for surfers. While looking for the best waves in Australia and Indonesia, they thought about how they could develop a surfbag that doubles as tent for low-budget travelers. This year they …
When my friend asked me if I would like to join ‘Critical Maths’ where a bunch of ‘psychists’ (probably a fancy English word for psychologists?) meet every last friday evening of the month, I was skeptical. What would I do there? I haven’t had any proper math classes since my graduation and frankly, I could think of better ways to spend my Friday evening. A couple of weeks later I found out …
I have been waiting all summer long for this moment: sandy beaches, green sparkling waves, sunshine and hot surfer guys. And finally all those day dreams became true. My friend Leo, who I once met at a surfcamp two years before, invited me out on a roadtrip along the Atlantic Coast. Equipped with a VW camper van, canned food, lots of sun cream and our surf gear we started our …
The big native market in the town of Chichicastenango (short: Chichi) in Guatemala, is one of the most important trade markets in the whole of Central America, showing off the many unique characters of the different communities, which all express themselves through the different patterns, styles and colours of their clothing. This is where different ethnic groups such as the K’iche’ Maya, the Mam, or Kaqchikel get together, setting up …
There’s nothing like paddling out in the salty seawater, knowing that you can leave all your daily stress behind. Your mind is focused on one thing only: riding down the perfect wave.
All the fear, exhaustion and tiredness that you have felt suddenly turns into energy, strength and motivation, welcoming you to life – the life.
Summer is over and so is surfing… you might think. But surf conditions are just starting …
Saturday morning, 8am: Whenever tingly rays of sun are shining through my window on a lovely saturday morning in London, I always know exactly how and where I will be spending my day. With friends, eating delicious food, strolling around and watching the world go by in one special place - London Borough Market.
While Nottingham Hill, Sunday Bricklane and Broadway Market are also quite popular and fun to go to, …
Don’t you just love Scandinavians? Good-looking, fashionable, smart and incredibly sweet. And as if that wasn’t enough, they also have great food! So great in fact, that I kept eating pretty much non stop, duing my recent visit to the Danish capitol. My Danish friends, whom I had met during a semester abroad in San Diego always raved about their city, saying they would always come back here eventually. But …
