Photo of the Week: Downtown Zurich

20 April 2011

Zurich is beautiful, well organized and clean. The cobblestone streets wind around 500 year old houses and the boutique shops are selling artsy and cool stuff.

Germany is the world leader when it comes to being energy efficient and protecting the environment. When I biked through the countryside, literally every Farm I biked by had Solar Panels on its roof. With hardly any sunshine during a long winter, you really wonder why sunny places like Hawaii or California don’t make use […]

Walking around – or better getting lost in – the ancient Medina in Fez, Morocco I stumbled upon a single girl waiting outside the Mosque for her husband to finish his prayer so they could go back home together.

Hiking to the summit of any mountain is spectacular, especially when there is a good view to be had. That’s the view I found when I looked down from Lions Head in Cape Town right at sunrise: Beautiful Camps Bay with the Twelve Apostles mountain range in the background.

Being in a desert is like going back in time and experiencing the struggle of civilization from the very core.

Experiencing anything that is 2600 years old will send chills down your spine. Now imagine standing on top of a 200 meter vertical cliff looking down onto something as stunning as Petra…glad I did not loose my balance!
