Yesterday I spend the day with some friends walking up to the peak of Vitosha mountain, just outside of Sofia. The weather was perfect and during the day we experienced everything from walking in t-shirt to light freezing with several layers of clothes. Although the weather was great there was not so many people up [...]

About a week ago I was up on top of Mount Sinai to look at the sunrise over Egypt’s mountains. This is a common thing to do here in Sinai, and although you will not be alone on the top it’s still recommended to go. The sunrise is nice, but even more beautiful is the [...]

5. Gran Canaria to Tenerife

I am just back in Gran Canaria after spending a weekend in Tenerife. I had a great time and really enjoyed Tenerife which is more green than Gran Canaria, both in the main city Santa Cruz de Tenerife and in the nature. One of the interesting things that happened to me was when trekking with a friend [...]

I just arrived back to Las Palmas after travelling for five days without a plan.

Here below are some pictures from my first month in Tarifa, Spain. Tarifa is famous mostly for the kitesurfing and along the main street there are almost only shops with kitesurfing equipment and lessons. But Tarifa also has a very beautiful nature around the city, perfect for trekking. Here you can find a lot of [...]

About 230 monkeys live here free, and the higher up in the mountain you find [...]

Here below are some of the pictures I took at the Kruger park this weekend. Even better then the “park” was the area where I was living, Marloth Park. There I could walk around freely and having animals all around me, as near as 2-3 meters sometimes. Examples of what I found was baboon, impala, wildebeest, [...]

1. Veliko Ternovo + status update

For the first time when I’m in a new country I miss my “real home”, which for now is Sofia in Bulgaria for me. I miss friends, the wonderful people in general, the nature (most of all the mountains), trekking, sports (indoor climbing and so on), warm thermal springs, the great tasting (and varied) food, [...]
