The Cook Islands: Paradize Beaches
I am longing to beaches like the ones pictured below from Cook Islands: long quiet beaches with palm trees, golden sand and clear blue water. My favorite beach so far, Lalaria Beach on the Greek island Skiathos, has white pebbles and limestone and is only approachable by boat because of the high cliffs on both sides of the [...]

Sight Jogging in Rome
Everyone has heard about sightseeing, but I’m sure sight jogging isn’t that common. I recently found a homepage called Sight Jogging where you can choose between 11 routes in Rome, Italy. Click on a tour to see the distance, estimated time, difficulty (high, medium, low), type of route, maps and photos. Forget boring seightseeing tours in buses with guides who talk too much – opt [...]

Parga: An Idyllic Greek Town
Narrow walks are a common sight in Parga, an idyllic town in north-western Greece. When visiting a few years ago, we stayed in hotel Della not too far from the beaches Valtos Beach, Krioneri and Piso Krioneri. In the mornings, we sat in Della’s own private garden and ate breakfast surrounded by olive groves and bird twitter. The slightly bitter flavour of the Greek [...]
The Swedish West Coast: After Beach in Tylosand
I have spent many summers on Frösakull beach outside the Swedish city Halmstad. I remember how we used to make sandcastles, play in the sand dunes, swim to the sandbar and snorkel to a small reef a bit outside the shore. Those memories and my early love for the ocean are probably the reasons to why I like to live near the water. [...]
Grand Mountains in the French Alps
The beauty of the mountains is obvious in Chamonix, an alpine town in the French Alps near the Swiss border. It’s a Mecca for skiing and adventure sports such as rock climbing, hiking, paragliding and ice-climbing. The times we went there we either traveled by car or by bus with UCPA, a French organisation specializing in winter-and summer adventures in France. For people overseas, Chamonix is easily accessed [...]
