One of the reasons why we flew to Columbia over Panama was that eight years ago on his world trip Matthias spent some wonderful time on the San Blas islands and since we started travelling together, he wanted to show me this paradise on Earth. About San Blas Actually, the modern name of San Blas is Guna [...]
What to do in and around Panama City
We spent three nights in Panama City and in my opinion, it is sufficient to get to know the city and explore its surroundings. Panama la Vieja Panama’s capital and largest city was founded in 1519, by Spanish conquistador Pedro Arias Dávila to serve as the starting point for expeditions to the Inca in Peru. Unfortunately, 150 [...]
24 hours to explore Kyoto
On Friday, after work, I decided to go to Kyoto, the former capital of Japan and probably the most attractive city for the tourists in the whole country. As I had only 24 hours in total to get there, stay overnight, visit the city during the day and to get back, I chose the quickest option – to travel [...]
Tokyo: making the best out of one-week business trip
I was lucky to have a business trip to such a faraway and unique country as Japan. Of course, every country is unique in its own was, but for whatever reasons Japan stands out in my mind.

Girls trip to Iceland. Day four: hiking in Skaftafell
Skaftafell The day number four was quite relaxed in terms of driving. We drove only around 200 km and were in total 2,5 hours on the road. First, we stopped again at the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon to see it in the sun light (I wrote about it in the previous post: Link). Then, we drove to the Skaftafell [...]

This day was a hard-driving day: we spent more than 5 hours on the road, 400 km driven. However, driving in Iceland was pleasant, even enjoyable. We switched at the wheel and made many sightseeing stops. Seljalandsfoss The first destination on the map was Seljalandsfoss, a high waterfall where you can walk behind the water. Parking costs [...]
