The second annual Arc’Teryx Academy took place in St Anton am Arlberg on the 2nd to the 5th of February, and I was a very willing participant as the Arc’Teryx community here in St Anton has become an integral part of my life (all year round) propelling me to try new things and biuld a better and healthier me.

My market memories from Yangon are amongst my richest, and on this particular morning, I am not sure which one of us got more than we bargained for.

When “Fathom” asked me to do a series of “Innkeeper’s Tales” i did not expect such a lovely reaction, and I look forward to continuing them as it really is a special world I live in.

After much time alone, once the restrictions started lifting, I went on a cautious local travel expedition.. I am not sure how many movements a sonata has, but I winged it in this piece just like I have been winging it since March.

A detailed summary of what I have been up to for the last few months making me look really productive, when honestly, everything here could have been done in one day.

A life in lockdown…

This is my valiant attempt to see the bright side of my current life situation.

But trust me, it’s not all schnapps, schnitzel and schlager.

This is a piece written by your’s truly in 2011 after my cousin’s wedding. It was written with little purpose, but when my cousin queried whether I had any further photos instead of coming up blank I provided this no holds barred first hand account through my eyes, that of the drunk, crazy cousin.

Having lived in Myanmar for the last 4 years, I see many questions on forums, so I am addressing as many as possible for people who intend to travel to Myanmar.

Word on the bumpy road to Ngwe Saung on the Bay of Bengal is that it s the perfect place to relax in a swanky hotel for a few days on the tail end of your trip to Myanmar. You could do it that way, or….

JJ’s busses are about as luxurious as they come, and a highly comfortable and convenient way to travel in Myanmar.

For the last week I have observed this awesome installation, and I finally got the gumption to do it myself... Could not recommend it more highly. 

Yangon has many quirks. Some can be slightly confronting at first, but for me these are the things that make it unique. 

Hiking Trolltunga in Norway was one of the highlights of 2015, but it was not just about the picture at the top: sometimes it is all about how you get there. 

Yangon is one of the most extraordinary cities I have visited. If you think that it is dirty, or that the food is greasy then you are not doing it right. 

Having done sufficient research, I was under the impression that Bagan and Inle Lake would be the highlights of the trip.... How wrong I was. 

Since arriving in Norge I have witnessed Graduation traditions, National Day, and the beauty of Spring. I also realise they weren't joking when they said it is really really expensive... 

What it is like to swim in twinkling water in a Mexican Lagoon. At night. 

It is a big call saying that these things are the stupidest, cause I am pretty good at being stoopid. 

After doing countless seasons, I have put together some tips for getting a job in an Austrian ski resort.

The ice cold Corona sat there taunting me. I could hear it whispering, "drink me" (in Spanish of course),  as the condensation languidly trailed down its curvaceous exterior.

You know that moment we are all seeking as travelers? You know, the one where you arrive somewhere, immediately forget about how much you need to stretch your legs or go to the toilet, and you just look around in awe, take it all in and think: “That, ladies and gentleman, is my next Facebook cover photo”.
