Travelling
As my “MySharona” Diary is nicely emptying out, with an occasional wave of contacts flooding into my clinic, I am picking up hope that travel may be possible again this year and that travel outlook for 2020 might not be so bleak now. As crowds …
In my late 30’s, I did finally learn to sail. It is certainly possible to start something new later in life. Combined with the great outdoor exercise and seeing new places, sailing is a fabulous sport if you love water. I have always loved water …
It took me nearly ten years of living on a large island, and over five years of living close to the sea to be bitten by the sailing bug. Which eventually led me to Sailing in Scotland. Why? I honestly think it was a combination …
Throw back to late summer 2012, and a boat trip through the Vieux Port: As we glided past moored sailing yachts against the backdrop of a sunny Marseille, I decided that I must learn to sail. I have always liked water, and anything on or …
What could be better in winter than to soak in hot thermal waters and enjoy some very fine cakes? Budapest is perfect for this, and I will show you some of the best Budapest cafes! As a child, my family and I would visit Hungary …
I am not stuck at home, having to work at the hospital every day. It’s a mixed blessing. I do some “hot site” work as well as having to work really close to patients and risk exposure to COVID-19. But… I get out, I get …
Hallo! Just in case your hair needs a colour and cut while we’re all under SARS-CoV-related restrictions… today I show you how you I colour hair naturally! The past two weeks I have been torn between producing travel posts in times when most of us …
While all travel has pretty much ground to a halt and we’re asked to stay at home, I’ve been trying to stay healthy and cook healthy vegetarian meals with few ingredients to minimise my shopping. Here in Germany, every one waited with baited breath for 19th …
As I cracked open a bottle of wine and a chocolate Easter egg this weekend, I promised myself to stay mindful on what have been some of the best days, recently, health-wise. So, having learned a little from these very strange weeks indeed, here is …
I just found this in my “Drafts” Folder and thought “…uiiiih, I haven’t posted this yet?” Well, this blog is my hobby. Excuse me if I got a bit slack with the timely posting of time-critical posts. Posting this now seems like a bit of …
At the moment, we cannot travel. Depending where you are and what profession you are in, chances are you are spending more time at home. So, time to read these excellent travel books! And although you may not be able to travel, you will never …
So, Sunday is Corona Rant Day. However today it’s not so much as a rant. I’ll give you my two Euro cents on whether to wear a face mask. After a relatively ordered, well-oiled week here in Berlin, I feel almost calm and ordered myself. …
Everyone and their dog are writing #coronavirus diaries now. Heck, I want one too. I’d rather call it a virus rant. And I will not write something every day. Reasons are below. I cannot think about writing or posting any meaningful or useful travel posts …
Shopping in Jordan is good for your purse! But does it mean there is nothing for the casual traveller to buy, or are things so cheap that you barely spend any money? Well…. a bit of both! I don’t want to knock the shopping in …
This blog is “normally” a travel blog, my playground to relax from my job. Which has nothing, but absolutely nothing to do with travel. But social distancing is creeping up everywhere. Except, we cannot really travel anywhere at present but to work and the nearest …
