On the last day of my 2012 holiday to Canada, I went to Banff N.P. I booked a very small scale tour and the guide took a couple and myself on an extensive trip through this amazing area! On our way to Lake Minnewanka we saw a few mountain goats by the side of theContinueContinue reading “Mountain goat”

Paradise
Remember my favourite hostel in New Zealand? Well, here is a photo from Hopewell. Little paradise on earth, if you ask me! The kayaks belong to the hostel. I rented one of those kayaks and had a wonderful but stiff paddle! I went with a roommate, but she didn’t like kayakking at all. She wasn’tContinueContinue reading “Paradise”
Clouds rolling in
January 2012. I had my mind set on exploring a very remote part of New Zealand: the Catlins. I took a bus trip and decided to spend a few days in Curio Bay. When I arrived, the sun was shining and Hector’s dolphins were swimming in the surf. In the evening we went to lookContinueContinue reading “Clouds rolling in”
Canada goose
In the spring of 2012, I ventured off to Canada. Of the two weeks I had, I spent one week in Vancouver. Way way too short, as I’ve fallen in love with that city and have so much more to explore! On a sunny day I made my way to Stanley Park and saw thisContinueContinue reading “Canada goose”
Grövelsjön
This time I’m posting a photo from Sweden. After a trekking in Lapland, I spent a bit of time travelling around. I decided to go to Grövelsjön, in the beautiful province of Dalarna, Sweden. On the bus to the Mountain Station, we came across a few reindeer! Awesome! During breakfast, I saw a baby reindeer outsideContinueContinue reading “Grövelsjön”
A beautiful world
One of the things on my bucket list was doing a multiple day trek with a full pack. January 2012, I could tick that off my list: I hiked the Routeburn Track, a 32km trek through Mt. Aspiring N.P. and Fiordland N.P., New Zealand! Most people do the tramp (Kiwi word for a trek) inContinueContinue reading “A beautiful world”
Koru
I love ferns. Always have. Lucky for me, there are heaps of ferns in New Zealand. This time, I post a photo I took of a koru, a new unfurling fern. So gorgeous. The photo was taken near Lake Wilkie, Catlins, on the South Island of that amazing country I love so much.
No cloudpiercing today, Aoraki
January 2012. On the Intercity bus from Queenstown to Christchurch, the 8-hour trip that ended up taking 9 hours. We still had a comfortable break at this stunning piece of scenery, looking to Mt. Cook (Aoraki, nothing ‘cloudpiercy’ about it that day!) It’s absolutely ridiculous how icy blue this water is! No tricks, no creativeContinueContinue reading “No cloudpiercing today, Aoraki”
