Costa Rica 2024
In March 2023, we visited the Americas - for me for the first time. Once again joining forces with our friends Andrea and Harry, this time our destination was Costa Rica in Central America.
Costa Rica, located between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, is often referred to as being the “Switzerland of Central America”. This description is based on the country’s political stability, high standard of living and well-developed infrastructure.
Greenland 2023
In November 2023, we were drawn to the far north for the first time, and I really do mean the very far north. Our friends had booked a short trip to Ilulissat in West Greenland in late fall and asked us if we wanted to come along, which we quickly agreed to.
During our 4-day stay, we marveled at the gigantic icebergs that passed majestically in the bay. There were also auroras - although unfortunately only very faint.
African Safaris 2013-2022
We traveled to Kenya for the first time in 2013 and went on a 17-day safari there. It was an indescribably beautiful trip, the landscape and the wildlife enchanted us and infected us with the “Africa virus”. Since then, we have made five more trips to Kenya and Tanzania. Here you will find extensive reports about them as well as many tips for your own trips.
Japan in 2014 and 2023
Japan! It was a destination we had always thought about. The first opportunity arose in 2014, when our first daughter completed an internship at a company in Osaka as part of her mechanical engineering studies. We then visited Japan again in 2023 to go on a round trip with our younger daughter, who was spending a semester abroad there as part of her Japanese studies.
