You might already have seen my posts on Twitter and Mastodon about my new account on substack.com.

I love you. I'm sure you've heard this a lot, but it's true. I'm deeply in love with you. And it happens again and again every time I have the chance to visit you. Thankfully there are lots of opportunities that work as an excuse to come to you every year or at least every other year. For me this ex...

Everyone knows Paris, but did you ever have the chance to travel to France without stopping in the big capital? Earlier in June this year I've made a trip to Burgundy, more precisely I saw the area around the cities of Auxerre, Dijon and Beaune. Of course Burgundy is famous for wine and cheese...

Welcome to Europe. Welcome to Italy. Welcome to Lake Garda. Welcome to Malcesine. Welcome. Just a couple of weeks ago in June 2022 I made a short trip to Italy. It was my first time at the beautiful Lake Garda in the very north of Italy, directly in front of the majestic Alps. The lake fills an enor...

Last weekend was one of the first weekends that really felt like spring or early summer. It was sunny and already rather warm. So I decided to make a short trip to the wonderful old city of Bamberg.

In this second part of my review of the best writing apps for Mac, iPhone and iPad I wanted to mention all those apps that didn't make it in the first list of essential apps from last week. These apps here in part two aren't bad apps at all. This is just a selection of apps that I personally strug...

This time I'm going to write a bit off topic. This post post and also the next one hopefully coming out in the following week will be not so much about images or photography, instead they will be more about getting and using the right apps. This time I will focus on writing apps, but expect more pos...

Ellingen is quite a small town in the heart of Central Franconia in the northern parts of Bavaria. There‘s a lovely medieval city centre, a nice city gate but first and foremost there‘s a real palace. Wow, a real palace in such a small town. But yes, a tiny bit east of the city centre there‘s a whol...

A gentle breeze, mild temperatures, the birds are singing in their trees and eagerly starting to build their homes for the coming season, the first flowers already craning their heads out of the green soil. Springtime. But this was yesterday. Long ago. 24 hours ago even. Today is a different day. Wi...

This year I’ve made it to Zermatt another time despite all the hassle that a trip during COVID restrictions means and despite the still enormous price level that Switzerland but especially Zermatt are famous for. I complained about it a lot in one of my last blog posts here about the iconic local...
