Puerto Rico
At the end of our Atlantic crossing, we arrived in Puerto Rico. Many people probably know the name and may vaguely know that it is somewhere in the Caribbean. In fact, however, Puerto Rico is not an independent country but part of the United States. A strange part. Puerto Rico is not a state, but
A day like any other on Utila
Usually still half asleep, I blend this smoothie from frozen bananas, papaya, pineapple, watermelon, and sometimes—if we managed to get some—passion fruit (maracuya). Then I add a few ice cubes and sometimes a bit of peanut butter. The result is a wonderfully cold, fruity-sweet smoothie that’s often better eaten with a spoon than drunk, thanks to its creamy texture from the frozen ingredients.
Dive master training in Utila
The sun is scorching from the sky, directly onto my head. Sweat is dripping from my forehead, my wetsuit is slowly soaking it up and warming me up even more—completely unnecessarily. The boat is rocking, and I have to keep my eyes on the horizon so I don’t get sick. My diving mask is strapped to my face, and I’m ready to jump into the cooling water.
Traveling for over a year

The donkeys of La Fortuna
The donkeys of La Fortuna, of which nobody seems to know where they come from, who they belong to or whether they belong to anyone at all. There are rumors that they were used for a film shoot and then released and that an elderly woman is now looking after them. But that’s just a
Baja Magica

Tijuana - La Paz
After spending a few days in Tijuana for Dia de los Muertos, we’re moving on to the south of Baja California. After Vancouver, San Francisco and Tijuana, we have seen the big city life and are looking forward to a warm, cozy place somewhere by the sea where we can swim. No sooner said than
Zurich - Rocky Mountains
We actually wanted to start a blog a while ago, but with all the traveling, painting, photography, and processing of impressions, we never really found the time. However, when we spent two weeks in the Rocky Mountains helping a family build a log cabin, we finally found the time to sit down and get started.
Canada, the BIG country
Canada is bigger. Bigger than most other countries (in fact, all except Russia). But in Canada also many things are bigger than in other countries. At least that’s what we noticed in the 5 months we spent in the country. Here are some of those things.
Down the Yukon River on a Canoe
Intro Canada. One of those countries, if not the country, known for its wilderness. Forests as far as the eye can see, empty valleys, unclimbed mountain peaks, pristine coastlines, square kilometers of untouched nature. Like many before us, we were drawn to Canada for these very reasons. As “trip preparation,” we watched a documentary on
