No Matter Where You Are, Keep Running
For me the beach holds first place as the best location to run, almost beaten by the experience of seeing a foreign city wake up during a morning jog. Running along a trail outdoors isn’t that bad either. Or over the waves in the sea. In the park. With your dogs. Up the stairs. On asphalt. In the gym. Or like crazy. [...]
Nashville, Tennessee: Awesome April in Music City

In the lobby to the National Theatre in London you can listen to live music (often jazz) Monday to Saturday evenings. Upcoming artists include the Japanese singer Eriko Ishihara, Pete Letanka, Gustavo Marques and classic jazz and soul vocalist Julie KcKee. Find more information [...]
Djurgården: The Best Green Area in Stockholm
If you ever travel to the Swedish capital Stockholm, don’t miss visiting Djurgården. Djurgården is a huge recreation park area attracting millions of visitors per year. I love going there to take long walks, jog, cycle, or visit Skansen Zoo. The view from the zoo over the city is truly a beautiful sight during clear days.
