In January 2024, my sister invited me to join her for a one week trip to Finland. We went on a sled dog ride for four days sleeping in woden cabines in the wilderness, enoying norhtern lights at the night. I really loved the trip with my four dogs Baffin, Selma, Inu and Uriah.

My sister Katrin sent me a picture of a fire salamander in Heilbronn at the Waldheide in the morning when they were walking. Since I had some time at noon I was ready to try my luck and I was successful: The first time I have seen a fire salamander in the wild! Normally, fire salamanders are mainly active at the night. During the day, they hide in fallen leaves or under wood. However, on warm, rainy days after a dry period they may be active during the day as well.

Heilbronn, in my opinion, is a very underrated region. The nature is so close to the city with all those beautiful vineyards and all those little animal inhabitants. More information on my sisters travel blog viel-unterwegs.de

We have stayed a longer weekend with fantastic weather at Sölden in the summertime. Our plan was to ride down the trails shaped by the Bike Republic Sölden team for two days. But for the second day, the weather forecast showed rain all day so we have decided to go hiking. Like very often in the mountains - forecast was wrong so I took out my camera to take some pictures.

In October 2018, Carina and I went on road trip through Florida. We have started in Miami Beach and went all the way down on the panorama route to Key West. From there, we drove on to Naples through the Everglades and back to Miami. We saw a lot of beaches with clear turquoise water, some dolphins at the pier in Naples and iguanas in Key West and Miami Beach. On our kayak trip in the Everglades with Logan from Tour the Everglades, we saw lots of alligators passing by. In Miami Wynwood, there is some wonderful streetart which I dedicated an extra album over here
