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
Transatlantik Überfahrt
Ca 4–5 Meter hohe Wellen hat es laut Kapitän während den ersten Tagen auf See. Ganz schön hoch, das ist ja nur die Amplitude. Das heisst vom tiefsten bis zum höchsten Punkt der Welle sind es 8-10 Meter. Ein ziemlich grosses Haus. Angesichts dessen spürt man auf unserem Schiff erstaunlich wenig vom Unwetter draussen. Wir
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

Comida Mexicana
Wie isst es sich in Mexiko? Und spezifischer: wie isst es sich in Mexiko als Vegetarier:in? Die mexikanische Küche genießt international einen exzellenten Ruf – aromatisch, vielfältig, voller Farbe. Gleichzeitig ist sie stark mit tierischen Produkten verbunden. Nach rund fünf Monaten in Mexiko kann ich das bestätigen. Es ist beeindruckend (und manchmal auch ein bisschen
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
Quickly I scrambled back onto the board, sat down this time to avoid losing my balance again, and started paddling hard to get out of the whale’s path. I felt like an ant drifting around on a matchstick in the ocean.
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.
