I’ve already written up my year in retrospect, eight pages of it in my bullet journal, but most of that is too personal to put it up online. And since I don’t really do resolutions, I can’t list those here, either. But I do have a to-do list of sorts, stuff I know I need […]
Dear blog, It’s been nearly a year since I last updated you, and for that, I am sorry, and I vow to do better this coming year. Since it’s only the 16th, it’s not quite time for an end-of-the-year post, but I don’t actually have all that much to say about 2016 anyway. 2017, on […]
Yet again—for the third or so time this week—, I have found myself unable to sleep. So now I’m sitting on my couch at four in the morning with a cup of tea whose tea bag tells me to ‘live with respect for yourself and others’, and I realised I still hadn’t started writing the […]
We’ve already covered the Train Fiasco of 2012, now let’s move on to the Backpack Fiasco of 2012. And to the story of how I came to hate DHL.
You’d think going from London to Berlin by train would be a fairly straight-forward deal. There’s the Eurostar to get over (or through, as it were) the Channel, and once you’re on the continent, you have train tracks all over. And it’s not that expensive, either. I paid 50€ for my one-way ticket; Eurostar from […]
My favourite things about travel are landscapes, food, and people. Landscapes are better shown in pictures rather than in words, but food and people, now those I can talk about forever. I decided to go with my Top 6 Food-Related Travel Memories first, so here you have my Top 3 People-Related Travel Memories. Only a […]
I’ve been meaning to make posts about travel memories for several months now, and for a theme, it came down to either people or food. I knew I’d eventually talk about both, but for a long while, I couldn’t make up my mind what to post first. However, since I greatly prefer food to people, […]
Since I need a selection of photos for something, and I didn’t want to just have an impersonal link list, I decided to talk a bit about my favourite photos, where and when I took them, and why I like them so much. Most will be travel photos because, well, that’s the kind of photo […]
When I dubbed 2012 the ‘Year of Travel’, I knew what I was talking about. In fact, I’ve come to like this tradition of trying to predict what the coming year’s theme will be. 2010 was, beyond the shadow of a doubt, my ‘Year of Independence’. It was my first full year living away from […]
And here we are; it is November yet again. November, the month of autumn, of first Christmas presents, of staying inside while the rain’s pouring down. That’s what November is to me, anyway. Maybe to you, it’s a sunny and warm spring, and maybe you don’t even celebrate Christmas. But what November always is, at […]
