Vivobarefoot Ultra 3 Review

As summer is coming closer, I was looking for lightweight shoes, which I can use on any terrain, even in water. As one of the first adventurers in Austria, I got to check out the Vivobarefoot Ultra 3. In order find out if they really come up to my expectations, I tested them in the mighty Carinthian mountains. The Vivobarefoot…

Detroits Abandoned Neighborhoods

During my stay in Michigan, I couldn’t resist but do some exploring around Detroits abandoned neighborhoods. You might know from previous posts, that I try to avoid touristy places, even though it’s not always possible, and rather explore areas which aren’t so popular. Before driving into Detroits suburbs, I did some research and found out…

My Favorite Camera Gear For Adventure Photography

Camera gear can weigh a lot, which isn’t a big deal if you travel by car, but as soon as you get out and want to hike or walk for a little you definitely feel the weight of your backpack. Lenses, filters, tripods, the camera itself, all those things can add up and all of a sudden…

Travel Essentials for Roadtrips and Hikes

Looking through the many photos I took during my trips always brings back those incredible memories and makes me want to pack my stuff again and leave. But what to bring on a trip? That mostly depends on individual preferences. If you stay at an All Inclusive Resort you won’t need much for sure. I, however,…

Autumn Leaves

Summer’s slowly fading
Leaves are turning brown
Flying with the wind
Until they all fall down

Shining in a golden light
Lies the landscape still
And a sparkling river
Is dancing with a mill

While all of us are moving
Nature stops once more
Holds her breath for summer
The time she most adore

The old trees out there oh summer
Will wait for your return
Will stay out there in silence
Until they feel your burn

For all of us who live here
We feel how times pass by
See the changing colors
In the autumn sky

Soon winter will be coming
Covering the land in snow
But still the hills keep sparkling
In the suns everwaming glow

Inspiration can come in many shapes. No matter if it’s inspiration to paint, to write, to play music. Think about your…

On the way to Mexico :)

After I paid a visit to Tikal, I set off for Tulum, Mexico. Guatemala is a country, not overflown from tourism yet and the roads are in a good condition, despite the warnings of the foreign office, to avoid driving on the roads, i felt safe all the time. In order to reach Mexico, I had to cross Belize, which involved a lot of bureaucracy, including a 20$ fee and…

Tikal, Guatemala

Tikal is an ancient mayan city, hidden in the jungle of Petén. It’s a mystic place of devotion and tranquillity. You can find a lot of people there meditating on order to find a balance between body and mind. A rutted, gravel road heads into the heart of the mayan world. The first scene that meets your eye when you enter the national park are the…
