Sziget – Island of Freedom
One of the world’s largest music festivals is actually so much more than a music festival. Every year in August the Obudai island in the Danube river in Budapest turns into the Island of Freedom for a week.

Japan’s greatest treasure
Though I got to see the snow monkeys during my first trip to Japan in 2018, I did not manage to jump in to the “Onsen” myself. Tattoo issues and hangovers successfully prevented Tina & I from visiting the public baths. So when I went back to Japan in 2019, I was determined to make it happen. And which place is better than the south western most main island Kyushu. It’s two big and still active volcanoes Aso & Sakurajima fuel the many hot spring resorts.
Adrenaline rushes and relaxing baths
Adventure is calling in Ecuador! After enjoying Quito’s bustling city life, the Mekka for outdoor enthusiasts is awaiting.
How I won 5kg of rice

Making friends while traveling solo
One way or another you always meet people to share a story, a meal, a room, an adventure or even a part of your journey with. Some become these social media friends who’s live you watch unfold through Facebook posts and Instagram stories, but never meet again in real life. And sometimes these people turn into friends you stay in touch with for the years to come. One of the places I made friends like the latter, was Ecuador.
A catamaran cruise
A sneak peak into my life. One of the many occasions I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
