6 days at home and still struggling with the cold and foggy weather. Ok, but also happy to live without nasty mosquitos or the always moist clothes. So let's take a general, my point of view, look about my last destination (no worries, more detailed posts are coming up later!)... Did I like Costa Rica?... Continue Reading →
Feeling small in Corcovado National Park
When everyone of your friends told you you should go to a certain place, which is also described in literally ALL travel books, well then it might be a good idea to actually do it, right? In case of Corcovado National Park this means a pretty long bus or car ride and a stay in... Continue Reading →
Like a pirate: Bahía Drake
I told you I wanted to slow down my pulse rate and relax? Well my first stop gave me all that. And on top, some pirate-like feeling! Since I wanted to go to Corcovado National Park, my first stop was Bahía Drake. The easiest way to go there is to take the bus to Sierpe... Continue Reading →
Let’s go Pura Vida

The biggest on the main island, and holy, mountain is Mt. Agung - which is very active at the moment and nobody knows, when it will erupt... Continue Reading →
Random questions that might pop up in your head before a Bali trip
In general, today you can google everything. Which is not necessarily always a good idea, for example when you feel sick. First of all, doctors hate self-analyzing of amateurs and second, you will get the impression that you will die because of your szneezing because it's some kind of super exotic desease ;-) It's the...

Short first recap of Bali
I am back. Can't believe that I just landed an hour ago in Vienna and I am waiting for my train to Linz. So in order not to fall asleep (in "my" time it would be 3:30 am right now), I want to do a first short recap of my trip. No worries, there will... Continue Reading →
Scooter rides on Nusa Penida
Well I promised you a post about this very special experience and there we go. I did some reseach before I came to the island, and found out, that a scooter is a good idea to choose, but also saw the pictures of the roads that led to the main attractions on the western part... Continue Reading →
