London & Cambridge (England)
Written by
California Hotel on Belgrove Street has done it. It is much likely the smallest and least comfortable hotel room in the northern hemisphere. Owing to the gloomy atmosphere of Kings Cross Station after nightfall it can’t boast very impressive surroundings either. All in all a most unagreeable place; except for the wallet which might find…

Gothenburg (Sweden) 2004 (2)
Written by
When you enter into a crowded area like Liseberg and find a brilliant business concept (an eat-as-much-as-you-like pizza buffet) completely deserted it should ring a bell somewhere. It didn’t until it was too late.

The Faroe Islands (Denmark or…? 😉
Written by
Being located in a remote part of the North Atlantic and having a population of 43 000 citizens are not the ideal conditions for a prosperous society, yet that is what the Faroe Islands are!!!!

Bremen (Germany) A rather brief visit to Bremen on business didn’t allow for great travel experiences. It did however allow for one of my repetitive but nontheless serious misjudgements. Even though I acted in the right spirits, what initially seemed to be a brilliant idea proved to be incredibly streneous, as it has proven itself…

Written by

Groningen & Amsterdam (The Netherlands)
Written by

Reykjavik: First time on Iceland
Written by
Air planes aren’t very spacious; at least not if you are condemned to be seated in “peasant class”.
