I felt I wanted a change (after months of coronavirus restrictions) so I went to the hairdresser to cut my hair the shortest it's been in my adult life. I loved the outcome, I must say :) -

I had wanted to do the Coast to Coast trail in Northern England for some time. While I'm glad I did it, it was a mixed experience overall. The first days in the Lake District were wonderful (albeit tough), but for most of the 12 days I h... -

I hiked in the Lake District as part of the Coast to Coast hike (from St Bees to Robin Hood's Bay) in August 2020. Lake District was my favourite part and the views were simply amazing. Parts of it were also rather hard, but the views ma... -

The National 3 peaks challenge - summitting Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Mt Snowdon within 24 hours including the time it takes to travel between the peaks - was on my radar and goal list since I'd heard about it a year earlier. Having do... -

Prague was a lovely city and truly lived up to all the glowing recommendations I'd heard before. The architecture is lovely, there is a lot to see and the city is very walkable. Definitely recommend! :) -

One of the best and most feel-good musicals I have ever seen, I recommend this very highly! After the first visit I've seen this time and time again, and it never grows old - the laughs, the message, the cuteness and the feel-good factor... -

My first opera was Akhnaten, by the English National Opera at the Coliseum. This opera and in particular this staging was very different from what I expected, as all the characters moved incredibly slowly (taking upwards of 10 minutes to... -

Late autumn hike in the Jurassic Coast - lovely sights (the ones we could see despite the mist) but rainy, windy and misty weather. Worth a try if you like hiking and can go to the area! -

Autumn 2018 vacation. Madeira was fantastic to visit - beaches, palm trees, warm weather, hills, parts of the island where the nature was very ancient, hiking, whale watching and more :) -

I went on a whale watching catamaran ride in Madeira. The ride itself was very pleasant and excellent way to relax in the sun - however, they of course cannot guarantee any sightings and in reality if the guides hadn't pointed at somethi... -

Nutcracker, the Christmas classic ballet in Coliseum in London :) It was very beautiful and a great experience but I did not know the story ahead of time so it wasn't easy to understand what was happening just from the dance alone. Proba... -

I spent the New Year's period in Athens in 2016 and also used the chance to visit the well-known sights. To me, Acropolis is very impressive if you think about the history, how long it's been there and the importance it has held; the act... -

I had expected Japan to be mostly large cities with a lot of bright lights, but it ended up being so much more varied than I thought it would be. The culture, the cities, the mountains, the forests, and much more. I warmly recommend! -

I liked Kyoto - while it is a rather big city, the city and its surroundings have many temples, shrines, gardens, a bamboo forest and a lot more, so there is a lot to see both from the modern Japan as well as the old Japan and its tradit... -
