Our road trip through New Mexico came to an end last week and the stunning rock formations in the northern part of the state where another highlight of this beautiful state!

This past week was all about Central Park: working in the sun on a blanket, workout sessions, park explorations, and an epic sunset picnic!

Siquijor had not been in my original plans for the Philippines, but I am so glad that I ended up there – this island paradise became one of my favorite places in the Philippines!

My days on the shores of the Red Sea were as relaxing as I had hoped: I spent time on the beach, ate good food and experienced some of the best snorkeling in my life in Eilat!

I am back in South America! Nearly exactly one year after my last trip to South America, I touched down in Quito this week. Read on for my first impressions of Ecuador’s capital..

Swimming with sea turtles is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever done – and in Apo Island in the Philippines, there are so many of them! Read all about my snorkeling adventure.

Palawan was the last stop on my Philiippines island hopping adventure and I couldn’t have chosen a better place for the grand finale than the world’s most beautiful island!

I returned to Hong Kong and I got to enjoy the city for a second time – and I finally made it up to the Peak, famous for its sweeping views over the city.

We met Frank walking through the jungle on Little Corn Island. For $1.50, he offered to climb up the tree and cut two coconuts open with his machete for us. You don’t turn down coconuts, and you sure don’t turn down a man with a machete in a jungle.

Antigua’s Central Park is home to a quite unusual fountain – four mermaids on each side of the fountain are spraying streams of water out of their breasts. The fountain, ‘Fuente de las Sirenas’ in Spanish, was built by Diego de Porres in 1738, who took his inspiration for the fountain from the Neptune Fountain in Bologna, Italy.
