When Hot Air Ballooning Goes Wrong
It’s only 4 days since I had the pleasure of doing a hot air balloon ride over the beautiful landscape of Cappadocia in Turkey. I got safely back down on ground after a 1 hour flight, but early this morning 19 people flying near Luxor in Egypt weren’t as lucky. I was horrified by the … Continue reading
Camel Ride Through the Sand Dunes
“It’s gonna be windy. Are you sure you still wanna do it?” our guide asked. I was out in the Moroccan desert with Erg Chebbi’s huge sand dunes on my doorstep. It had been windy all day with sand blowing all over the place. When we drove into Merzouga we couldn’t even see the massive … Continue reading
Cruising up the Nile
Most of Egypt is desert so the Nile river has always been of major importance to the country. That’s why it seemed only natural to spend some of the time sailing up the river when I visited the country a couple of months ago. We had two options for transportation up the Nile. The first … Continue reading
Another Year of Travels: Looking Back on 2012
We have now all said goodbye to 2012 and gotten a new beginning with the year 2013. This is the time when I can’t help but look back on the past year, thinking about all the new experiences I’ve had. This year has been good for me as I finally got to check places and … Continue reading
A North African Experience
This autumn I had the pleasure of visiting both Morocco and Egypt, thus finally travelling into the continent of Africa. With these new experiences I can’t help comparing these two countries. Both being Arabic speaking and Islam being the dominating religion they have so much in common. But still, there are several differences to find. … Continue reading
Another Place on Crosby Beach
I was planning a wee trip to Liverpool and was researching the area when I suddenly came across the “Another Place” art installation on Crosby Beach. It consists of 100 identical iron figures spread out on the beach, all looking towards the horizon. I was intrigued. So I decided to head to Crosby one late … Continue reading
The Impressive Hassan II Mosque
Islamic architecture has always fascinated me. Growing up in Denmark, it’s just so much different from anything I am used to and travelling around Europe I have come to terms with the fact that the Danish churches just aren’t as spectacular as the ones you find in other countries. But the mosques of Middle East … Continue reading
Impressions of Morocco
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Morocco. This was a big thing for me, for not only was this a completely new country to explore, it was a whole new continent. I have always been interested in the Arabic part of the world and I finally grabbed the chance. What is so special about … Continue reading
The Pancake Rocks in Punakaiki
When you take the Intercity bus up the West coast of New Zealand’s South Island, the bus stops just south of Punakaiki for 20-odd minutes. One might think it’s weird that the bus simply takes a break in this small village, but actually, there is a reason behind the madness. The break doesn’t just give … Continue reading
In Search of the Loch Ness Monster
Loch Ness is probably the most famous lake and you can’t really go to Scotland without visiting it. The loch is one of the most visited areas in Scotland and that’s all thanks to the Loch Ness Monster, which may or may not be there. We got to Drumnadrochit in the afternoon. This is a small … Continue reading
