The best tips for Prague – according to me

Prague bridge
I have visited Prague 3-5 times per year over the last 5 years, usually for business. Over time,…

My home away from home on the #jordantrail for the last week. The tent is the size of a coffin, but that’s an easy compromise when that allows you to wake up with the sun and sleep under the starts with these views. Might bring a rain shower, espresso machine and a fridge next time though 🤔 #wadimalaga #dana #feynan #petra #wadirum #wadiaheimar #wadialsaif #jabalkharazah
The #jordantrail is a trail with many faces. The trail itself that is. Sometimes a friendly face. Sometimes one that frowns upon you like you’re an alien. Quite often one that spits you in the face. As I said … many faces. Not only does the trail from #dana to #petra and #wadirum and #aqaba take you along different trails, tracks and surfaces, sunlight also has a special way of embracing it’s differences.
One of many magical moments on the #jordantrail this year. A Monday morning sunrise in the #wadirum desert in #jordan
Three years ago, the trail won. Flash floods, illness and a navigation error had me abort my attempt to solo hike approx 300km from #Danareserve to #Aqaba, past the magical city of #Petra and #WadiRum desert. Starting tomorrow, I’ll try for a second time. See you all in 2 weeks, when I’m back to wifi and cellphone reception #jordantrail
[update: verkocht] Ik verkoop ons huis in #melle (BE) omdat Ella, Gust en ik een nieuw stekje hebben gevonden in Gent. Altijd (en nog steeds) met enorm veel plezier gewoond maar het huis is toe aan een nieuw baasje. Link in bio. De lieve mensen van @dewaele_vastgoed kunnen je verder alles vertellen (of PM mij even). #huistekoop
Wow. Thanks #Greenland for an amazing two weeks. It was a hell of a job to get there, but what an amazing place to be. Being waved off by whales was the perfect ending to a week in the wilderness of the #arcticcircletrail , trips to #russellglacier #reindeerglacier #point660 and finally #Ilulissat ssaticefjord
Sorry, couldn’t help myself. They’re just so awesomely amazing. #iceberg #ilulissat #ilulissaticeberg #visitgreenland
Besides questions about my morning make up routine (joking people, just joking), I’m getting quite some questions about the #arcticcircletrail - would I recommend it? Well ...
I was lucky enough to spend some time all over the world, but hardly ever have I been so fascinated by the amazing sight of big chunks of ice. The last days I spent pretty much every minute I could observing the light, shadows, movement of icebergs. Mornings, afternoons and -as here/ evenings. How every moment of the day is different, how clouds are different, how passing boats make the icebergs wiggle. Feeling blessed to be able to experience this. #ilulissat #visitgreenland #ilulissaticeberg
Fell in love with an iceberg yesterday ❤️
Here’s to the #arcticcircletrail huts, the trail’s super powered community hubs. Most hikers actually do not sleep in the huts. Yes, they provide shelter from wind, rain, snow, cold, sun and these pesky August flies that have an habit of crawling into your ears and nose for whatever reason. Yes, they accommodate 6+ people comfortably. Yes they have a kitchen. But when it comes to sleeping, few things beat camping on your own in the remote wilderness at a serene lake, stream or hillside.
Water is a truly incredible magical fantastic thing on earth. If you don’t throw your waste in it, sh*t/pee in it and or dump other dubious materials in it, you can actually drink it, just like water from your tap at home. Fresh water in nature is just like the filtered tap water at home without the need of being filtered - how friggin’ awesome is that huh?!? It sounds so obvious but it took me spending close to a week in the #Greenland wilderness on the #arcticcircletrail to overcome the reflex that you can’t just drink water from a stream or lake. Here you can. Just being able to stop pretty much every kilometer to get some cool fresh water is just such an amazing feeling. #visitgreenland
