Alive and Trekking

Bay of Islands

The Bay of Islands is a beautiful area in the North of New Zealand. During the tour, we stopped at Urepukapuka Island, a lovely and relaxed place. The view from the top of the hill was amazing! Bay of Islands from TravelSan on Vimeo.

Camp with a view

In 2008, I travelled to Sweden for the first time. It was an outdoorsy holiday with things like bushcrafts, canoeing and hiking. We stayed in the beautiful province of Dalarna in a tiny place called Venjan. My absolute highlight of the week was a two-day, 36 km hike along the Vasaloppsleden trail. It was beautiful!ContinueContinue reading “Camp with a view”

Afternoon sail

Sailing is one of my favourite ways to spend a beautiful sunny afternoon. I love being on the water, or in the water. Always have. I’m not a good swimmer, but I still feel like some sort of ‘water rat’. The salty air, the wind in my face, the possibility to go everywhere is soContinueContinue reading “Afternoon sail”

A traveller’s indulgences

I’ll just throw it out here: I love food. 🙂 When I try things abroad, I tend to get some kind of memory attached to eating or drinking those things. Like L&P, lemon pepper or Tim Tams. Since I work hard for the money that I earn, I decided to treat myself a little here andContinueContinue reading “A traveller’s indulgences”
