Chinese, but different – Xinjiang (part 1)

This year’s holiday in May 2014 brought us not only back to China but also back in time. We travelled on the ancient Silk Road in Xinjiang (China’s biggest province, located in the far northwest) and went out to discover a completely different side of China. Our starting point was […]
Kampong Buangkok

Buangkok is the last Kampong (village) remaining on mainland Singapore. It was built in 1956 and since seems pretty untouched. Obviously, it makes a great excursion for nature and heritage lovers and for photo enthusiasts. That is why two friends from my recent photo course and me headed there for […]
Birds, birds, birds

Soon, it will be three years that I have lived in Singapore and, fortunately, there are still a few sights and attractions that I have not yet (or not yet enough!) seen. From time to time, especially in order to avoid too much routine, I try to review my imaginary […]

Surprise! It’s Langkawi.

In April 2014 the long Easter weekend and my partner’s birthday came together and made an excellent recipe for a surprise getaway. I had secretly organized flight tickets, a rental car and three nights in a hotel in beautiful Langkawi. And we both packed our bags and left very excited… […]
Bali, revisited!

In March 2014, just two years after my first visit, we went back to Bali for a long weekend. I am not that much into beach holidays and will get bored after a couple of hours relaxing in an armchair (or “doing nothing” as I would call it). Therefore, we […]
Back to the roots

Australia – on the road again

January 2013 brought us two weeks of holidays in Australia and a whole lot of diversification from Singapore. We started in Sydney and headed down along the coast before taking the Great Alpine Road to reach Melbourne. The second half of our trip was along the coast from Melbourne to […]
History and Modernity in Seoul

To enjoy the autumn weather we went for another city trip in October 2012. The Korean capital Seoul beautifully combines Old and New (History and Modernity) and that’s what marked our trip from A to Z. From our room (we stayed both in an electronic-equipped hotel room in the hip Gangnam […]
Sunrise at Mount Bromo

Sometimes it is good to leave the city life behind and indulge in some nature and outdoor activities. That’s why in August 2012, I spent a weekend with friends in East Java. On our program was a volcano (yes, again… there are so many!), Mount Bromo. It is beautifully situated […]

In love … with Bangkok

During my first weekend trip to Bangkok in March 2012, I spent a photo workshop cum sightseeing day with pro photographer Gavin Gough (www.gavingough.com) and fell in love…. with Bangkok and with a whole new experience of picture taking in manual mode. You see some first results below.
