Last week one of the most important events in Wildlife History went down in New York. Times Square hosted its legendary Ivory Crush – an occurrence that has only happened once before in the US. The purpose of this legendary Ivory Crush was to display the accumulated amount of illegally imported ivory to the US and to send the right message. A total of one ton disguised in statues and other forms was brought to New York. Read More »
About a week ago Coney Island hosted it’s most famous annual event: The Mermaid Parade!
It was a colorful ensemble of great costumes, fun wigs and provocative statements. Read More »
Today was perhaps the biggest party of the universe! June 28th 2015 marks the day of several pride parades throughout the country. With New York being the legendary runner-up, it ultimately hosted the biggest party I’ve seen in this city so far. Read More »
About four days ago I completed the 30-Day-Blogging-Challenge hosted by Sarkemedia. While it was my second round of the challenge, it was also my first full round of completion (as I gave up the first try after 21 days due to travels and time limits). Read More »
Staying in Old San Juan certainly had its perks. This part of town is quite walkable and it was not necessary to take a bus or drive around. It’s also an immensely picturesque part of San Juan. Indeed, one of my friends who had been to Cuba said that Old San Juan was by far prettier than Cuba itself. In about one hour you’ve probably seen most of its attractions, so it’s relatively small and you will certainly see the same people over and over again. Read More »

My first full day in Puerto Rico and what better way to spend it than taking the boat to a deserted island? My first day also coincided with my actual birthday so I was doubly excited to have it spent on the water and around some gorgeous reefs. Since I always try to make a trip to the beach on my birthday, this excursion seemed like a perfect fit.
Things have been quite eventful this month already. One week ago I celebrated my birthday in the Caribbean. It was my first trip ever to that part of the world and I had been looking forward to making it for a very long time already. Read More »
It always baffles me how different time is perceived when on travels and when at home. Read More »
From Laxnes Horse Farm we were picked up by a major tour operator called the Grayline (not to be confused with America’s Greyhound line!). Read More »
The first tour I booked was Horseback Riding at Laxnes Horse Farm. I had always imagined how awesome it would be to finally ride a proper Icelandic Pony in its country of origin. Even though it was around 5 degrees Celsius during the day, the ride was a blast and I can only recommend it!
