Waypoint Hanami
Best views in Tokyo, to experience the cherry trees bloom, and other fine things;
Chidorigafuchi – the moat outside the Imperial Palace
Hie Jinja – for the contrast of old and new, tall buildings in the background combined with traditional symbols, and in the midst of it… cherry blossom
Megurogawa
Experiences in Belize and Guatemala
Belize on horseback, and a visit to Tikal in Guatemala… Here’s a little film from this wonderful part of the world
Jungle fever – or enjoying the greenery on horseback
A beautiful week in Paradise – at Mountain Equestrian Trails in Belize. What a perfect way to relax! I have so many positive things to mention from this trip, but it’s hard to put it all into words. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves…

Swiss waypoints
During a holiday to Switzerland one is surrounded by such beautiful nature, that it’s hard to try to explain it in words…which is why I have chosen to describe my experiences using my pictures.
These photos were taken while trekking in the south of Switzerland, and the views are from Brig, Naters, Blatten, Mund, Birgisch, and Salwald.

Best selfie of the year
Totally impossible not to love this beauty! After a little scratching behind her ear, she willingly agreed to be in a selfie. 🙂
At Torrlid ‘fäbod’.
Flowers of Cambodia
Once again the beauty of this planet shows itself from its very finest side. Colours, shapes…and if only you could feel the smell…
With a Russian feel to it
Finally, some time and inspiration to sit down and go through some photos. Here are two of those that bring a smile to my face, because they help me remember an absolutely wonderful holiday I had in Rosa Khutor, Sochi, Russia. It had all the ingredients you wish from a skiing trip. Goooood snow conditions – it was dumping over night – really good service with smiling people wherever I went, good food, good weather, and so on… I simply have so many good things to say about the place, and would definitely go back any day.
In love with Alsace
I have found a new infatuation – Alsace.
10 things that made me feel all warm inside while travelling around in this beautiful part of France this summer:
- friendly people – coincidence or normality, wherever I came, there were friendly faces, polite greetings, and smiles.
- flowers – How those colourful gems can bring sunshine to any day!
- wine – following the “Route des vins”, it goes without saying that one bumps into fine wine. I found two favourites; the Altenberg de Wolxheim Riesling from 2012, from Domaine Laurent Vogt, and the Gewurztraminer Grand Cru Sporen from 2012, from Dopff au Moulin.
- food – Well, we’re in France! For an extraordinary experience, I would go back to Le Cerf in Marlenheim anyday! Another very nice experience indeed, was Aux Trois Poissons in Colmar, and Au Potin in Barr is yet another truly great place!
- the Vosges mountains – Winding roads take one to places of such impressive scenery…
- villages – like Eguisheim, Riquewihr, and Marlenheim… Pictures can say a lot, however these places deserve visits in real life!
- tranquility – the peaceful and calm atmosphere that rested over the entire area
- the agricultural landscape – sunflowers, vines, corn…
- the little sightseeing train in Riquewihr – Yes, it may be corny, but I did enjoy that informative ride around the village and in the middle of all the fields of vines.
- accessibility – everything is well signposted
… and now, take a look at the pictures below!
Love for Italy
A southern Italian wind swept by…or, was it me sweaping by south of Italy…
Tropea – a new friendship formed this summer, the one involving eyes meeting pine trees, old cobbled streets with the right scent of a mix of excellent food together with blooming bougainvillea, and that perfectly coloured sea brushing steep cliffs.
