How to arrive in Sharm el Sheikh – tipps to get from airport to hotel
writing on ST7198 from HAM to SSH We have arrived in Sharm el Sheikh, having a wonderfully calm flight with Germania – although not being able to reserve seats at all and no possibility to check in online felt like a pain in the a** when you’re so used to it. When bargaining isn’t for you,…

Public transport in London – no need to top up the Oyster Card anymore
For me as a part-time geek, one of the coolest things about London public transport was the possibility to just tab the yellow card reader with my contactless credit or debit card and never have to buy a ticket again. Instead of using the Oyster Card which you had to top up manually at the…

The sound of traffic or “How to cross a Vietnamese street”
06:00 am, we are woken up by the sounds of traffic, the unavoidable horns, people bustling around, already busy with their businesses: preparing food to sell, transporting huge cupboards on tiny scooters, chit-chatting and more.

An unusual experience: Being a falconer for a day
This day was truly amazing. I was accompanying a “falconer for a day” – an unusual, yet super exciting way to spend a day on the outskirts of Hamburg. I had the chance to spend an entire day photographing the most amazing birds of prey from just inches away at a wildlife park. Both of…
