In the Arabian Sea – where the Gulf of Aden opens towards the Indian Ocean – lies an island named Socotra, belonging to the territory of Yemen. Hosting a few tens of thousands of people, being so far off land and with very peculiar climate conditions, the island is home to many endemic species, making […]
Wildlife tourism is the largest source of income for Uganda’s national budget, more than the export of coffee, tea, cotton and gold combined! 5-star safari lodges are being built around the parks. Tourists from all over the world pay up to $ 360 a night there. A day pass into the national Parks costs 40 […]
Foreword: As with all my trips, there is motivation, lots of curiosity, a focus and of course a certain amount of longing which attracts me. But with just as much interest and enthusiasm, I plunge into the historical, cultural and economic facts of the country in search of the best sources. Although my focus during this […]
After a hundred and fifty days north of the Arctic Circle, I long for light and warmth now, it’s mid-May, and spring came with an immense boost. My work as a Managing Director and Outdoor Guide at Hattvika Lodge have been a very intense yet incredibly multi-faceted task to date. As so often, the job demands exceeded […]

There are moments and places which monopolize me totally, like getting pulled by a gravitational field towards the core. If contentment could be sized, heaviness would be its measurement.

Slowly we were making our way towards the intersection Nr.888 which connects with the E10 just shortly after Vestpollen and continues to Svolvær, the most prominent city in Lofoten. Still, dizzy from what was laying behind us we were breathless by the first visual encounter ‘around the corner.’ No wonder that we called almost everything ‘excessively […]
I feel unwell by trying to subsume terms like virginity or nativeness into words. Only the name subsume causes me shivers, presses and confines the whole dimension of immensity.
