Møns Klint and the lucky stars!
“Basta with these cities…they look all the same!!! ” these were my famous words on the train leaving Copenhagen and heading to the little island of Møns Klint with my friend back in the summer 2005. We had spent few days in the Danish capital, and it was still amazing but we were tired to […]
“On the road” of inspiration…
Watching “On the road”, yes, and I say “watching” and not reading it, has been a full of expectation experience that was fully fulfilled!
Good Bye Argentina!
What a strange and sad feeling leaving Argentina and its people. Until the last moment, this country has showed me such a joyful sense of friendship and welcome, that at my departure I felt surprisingly sad to leave. Argentina, a place to discover and enjoy. Its people love complaining about their country but they are […]
Puerto Madryn, goodbye Patagonia
My last stop in Patagonia is Puerto Madryn, on the East cost, and it couldn’t be better, after long sleepless night on a bus from Comodoro, and before another one on a bus to Buenos Aires. Puerto Madryn gave me a sip of sun and warmth after the cold temperature and for both body and […]
Ushuaia…
There must be a reason if they call it La fin del Mundo, and you definitely need to get here to fully understand it and get this incredible feeling of being at the edge of everything, mountains, roads, sea, life…. Here La fin del mundo, the Worlds end, doesn’t have only a geographic meaning, but […]
Somewhere in Tierra Del Fuego
This journey to and through Tierra Del Fuego is an adventure itself and it’s really enduring all my resistance. I left El Calafate at 3 in the morning heading to Rio Gallegos, where I got the connection to Ushuaia after a couple of hour waiting at the sunrise in the station. And then it started. I couldn”t […]
El Chalten, at Mother Nature’s home
When I arrived to El Chalten I was not sure about my decision, as the weather was not going to be very nice and it looked like a place where you can only go hiking an that’s it. It thought I may have slowed don my trip but, as I was here, what I could […]
Perito Moreno, Patagonia of my heart
I must admit that today I got chills standing in front of the Glacier Perito Moreno! It was ages I didn’t feel such an emotion for a place that made me almost cry at the end. The first impression I had of the Glacier is that it’s alive. I could feel it, even on the […]
Bariloche, touching the blue
Arriving to Bariloche is a wonderful sweet surprise that enchants all your senses. The town lays quiet on the shores of a wonderful blue water lake, surrounded by high mountain ranges: it’s the Andes and this is the first time I see them. The Andes embrace this area refreshing it with a cool breeze all […]
Waking up in the Pampas…
07:35 am, April 13th…Somewhere in the Pampas of Argentina Waking up in the middle of the Argentinian pampas is like waking up on a different planet. What I am watching now from my window is simply one of the most a spectacular landscapes ever seen. It’s desert, no sign of human life is around, the […]
Impressions of a 20 hour bus travel …
23:00 pm, APRIL 12th 2012 I have left Buenos Aires at 2pm this afternoon to start a crazy 20 hour trip with destination San Carlos De Bariloche. It’s 11pm now. I am on this bus a already since 9 hours and I will arrive at destination in 12. I have already watched 4 movies, read […]
Vestmannaeyjar: unpronounceable and unforgettable!
HEYMAEY ISLAND, MARCH 15TH 2010! Getting to Heymaey, even if so close to the Icelandic coast, has been a travel itself. The ferry from Þorlákshöfn takes an absurd ride for about 3 hours before docking. That means if the sea is not calm like it was today, it can be hell. In fact, even with […]
Lofoten, lost paradise of Norway
LOFOTEN ISLANDS, NORWAY, JUNE 14th, 2003 We have truly arrived at the end of the world, both the human world and the natural one. Everything is extreme up here: weather, life, distances. My daily life from the beginning of summer is so far away.We are almost in a dimension of the afterlife, needed by the […]
Sicily, a touch of sun!
Sicily, December 31st, 2010 Sicily gave me her welcome with an hug and a smiling sun. Coming from Amsterdam and its 0 degrees and landing in Catania, with 18 has been one of the best arrivals ever at the end of December. What a great feeling walking out of the plane and feeling the […]
South Iceland, a touch of Infinite
From up North directly to down South, destination the South Coast of Iceland and hopefully the black sand beaches of Vik. Well, it was too windy to make it down there. For a moment the little van we were in couldn’t even stay on the road. What a day, what an adventure, what […]
Isafjordur, secret beauty of Iceland
Unbelievable Isafjordur! Iceland keeps this place secret, makes it difficult to every traveler ( or maybe only to me!) arriving here because Isafjordur can steal your heart. It is the most beautiful place on planet Earth. From the plane suddenly the clouds open and the mountains protecting the “Ice Fjord” reveal silently this unbelievable […]
Today Iceland!
The doubt at the moment is: from Isafjordur, shall I take a lift by car to go back to Reykjavik, so I can see Iceland all the way down by car, enjoying and crossing amazing landscapes, or shall I take a flight to Egilstadir, on the east part of the Iceland, flying on the heart […]
Queenstown – The Queen of the Southern Emisphere towns
Queenstown, New Zealand, March 21st 2008 This town perfectly embodies the spirit of New Zealand, with its colours, its flavours, the little interweaving streets and its people… the wonderful people who live in this place kissed by the gods…. Queenstown has not only welcomed me, but hugged me and literally made my fly. […]
