Back to Stockholm… again
After some normal days, celebrating my birthday, visiting friends and doing family stuff I am off again to the beautiful city of Stockholm. I try to go as often as I can. I just love everything about the city. This year I will be there two times. Once now and once in September, when my parents…

Shopping, geocaching and Maultaschen
A whole day out. Started early to get my glasses fixed in Dortmund. Got the best customer service possible. Cut down the time from one week – which would have meant going around in old glasses for a on time – to 1 hour because I have to travel so far. Perfect! A little bit…

Tamron offers very good quality for what I need (and can do with it) with a more affordable price tag. The Tamron is the only one…

Geocaching 2017
Last year was the first full year of me geocaching (than you Blacksheep for introducing me to this activity!). Every place I go, I try to find at least one of the small boxes, collecting municipalities and countries. I finished the challenge to find one in every municipality of my county, which took a weekend…

Why not start planning for 2018
As always I like to start thinking early about travel yo get the best information and the best deals. But this time I started of with a bit of a dilemma. Where to go for my big birthday tour next year (Easter 2018)? I had an idea of going to Brisbane, Australia for three weeks. Including…
