Travelling
The first time I heard of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning was a while ago. I think when I watched Stanley Kubrick’s “2001” for the first time, I got a better grip on its implications – not in a nice way as those who …
This summer, while still having some budget to travel, we were more careful with our funds. We spent our main holiday in Ravenna – and I really loved it. The reasons for a more budget-conscious holiday were that I had just completed a course at …
Ravenna in Northern Italy flies pretty much under the radar unless you are massively into history or Byzantine art. I might be leaning out of the window by saying that the Ravenna Mosaics are one of the most stunning, most beautiful ensembles of religious art …
Aside from getting as much sightseeing in in our spare time, I primarily came to Dhaka to work! And whatever reservations I had in the beginning, I honestly and thoroughly enjoyed my first mission as a doctor serving disadvantaged communities, and if you are in …
Some amazing things come from Eastern Germany but are below many people’s radar. Eastern German Christmas goodies are one such thing, and it is a real shame they are not celebrated worldwide. And as a proud Eastern German, I see it as my job to …
Hallo! Proud Eastern German here, and now the festive season is approaching, let’s take a look at Eastern German Christmas Markets. Time to do a post about the most common travel reason to Germany in the cold and dark season: Christmas Markets! Indeed, hardly anyone …
As far as I can see, there is no blog post on fabric shopping in Bursa yet – but if you are a sewist and find yourself in Istanbul or the Marmara region, I highly recommend a trip out to Bursa. Bursa is well worth …

Venice, Italy is one of the worlds top destinations – and for some, one of the most disappointing. Crowds except in winter, sky high prices, scams, generally poor restaurants… some might as, is it worth even going there? Here’s my list of tips to enjoy …
Another Uzbekistan itinerary! Sorry, couldn’t help it. I know I know, there are plenty on the internet already. In fact, this Uzbekistan Itinerary, like most, includes the classic Silk Road destinations of Samarkand, Buxoro and Xiva and starts in Tashkent, but it adds the Fergana …
So, what happened after we had finally passed the Thai border after our minivan trip from Kampot? Bangkok Shopping and Eating seemed a long way away – 400km to be exact. We were stranded on the Thai side of the border, 90km separating us from …
Another London post! I like to visit London a few times a year, and finding lovely, stylish accommodation that isn’t crazily priced is becoming harder. My answer to that: The Lodge Hotel. It involves going out to the suburbs. Doesn’t bother me – I love …
My 2021 Venice trip was my first respite not just after nearly ten months of lockdown, but also after an intense period where I worked a lot, mixed in with fear of picking up the virus. I had a little bit of money spare and …
