The Routeburn Track, one of my proud accomplishments. I’ll gladly experience this amazing trek again if it meant immersing myself in this incredible landscape again as well. On this photo, I had long passed the highest point of the trek (Harris Saddle) and was making my way down to Lake MacKenzie Hut, which you canContinueContinue reading “Enrichment”

Where will the train go?
Banff National Park in the springtime. Plenty of snow and ice still left on this gorgeous landscape filled with mountains, forest and rivers. We stopped by the side of the road for a quick photo break. The train tracks below got me wondering: where will the train go? What will it be like to journey throughContinueContinue reading “Where will the train go?”
Lake Rotoiti
Nelson Lakes N.P., an area in the South Island of New Zealand that I haven’t come close to exploring yet. We only went there because the owner of the hostel we stayed at in Nelson, recommended it to us, and our visit was brief. We were on our way to the Westcoast and the lady fromContinueContinue reading “Lake Rotoiti”
Preview: Horse trek in Paradise
In New Zealand I did a four-day horsetrek in the amazing Mt. Aspring N.P. on the ever so beautiful South Island. Here is a sneak preview of the incredible landscapes I found myself in those few days. Stories and more photos to come on Saturday!

Waiting in a camouflaged wildlife observation hut, we peeled our eyes to catch the first glimpse of Yellow-Eyed Penguins coming to shore to rest up for the night. Having to wait in a stunning environment like this isn’t such a hard thing to do! I especially love theContinueContinue reading “Ye who enter here”
Ancient landscape
The Frans Jozef glacier has retreated much over the years, leaving a scarred, ancient landscape bare. I can’t help but wonder what it would have looked like ages ago, when the area was filled with ice and the forces of nature cut their way through, creating a glacial valley in the process. This landscape tells a storyContinueContinue reading “Ancient landscape”
Granite Island
Off shore from Victor Harbor in South Australia lies Granite Island. From Victor Harbor you can take the horse tram or walk across the bridge on foot. It’s a nice half-day trip! 🙂
Milford Sound
The Milford Sound, a beautiful fjord-type natural spectacle that many travellers visit during their times in New Zealand. Same goes for me, although it’s been a while (ten years!) since I was there. It had rained all morning and it was still a bit gray. Once we got on the water (off-peak hours, marvellousContinueContinue reading “Milford Sound”
