Cerro San Cristóbal

February 25, 2015August 10, 2016 Let it go

I always pushed it back to ‘tomorrow’, and in the end, I didn’t see it at all: Cerro San Cristóbal, the hill that dominates the city of Santiago. On a good day, you can see much of Santiago lying to its feet, and the Andes Mountain range in the back of the city. On a […] Read More

Into autumn

February 24, 2015August 10, 2016 Let it go

I woke up to a grey, covered sky, and it had cooled down notably over night. I wanted to go to the Museum of Modern Art, but it is closed till 2nd of March – just in time for me to see it on the last days. I went to what seems to become my […] Read More

The last month

February 23, 2015August 10, 2016 Let it go

It just hit me like a hammer…. Read More

Santuario de la Naturaleza

February 22, 2015August 10, 2016 Let it go

After two late nights in a row, and only falling asleep at 6 am in the morning, I still peeled myself out of bed at 9 something, hit the shower and then the metro, to meet up with Hannah and her Colleagues of Beyond English. Beyond English is a social enterprise that provides English lessons […] Read More

Santiaguino

February 21, 2015August 10, 2016 Let it go

Returning to Santiago was a great idea. I really would not have any energy for a new country or city. Here, everything is smooth, even if I stumble. I reactivated my bip!-card for the metro – as If I had known I would come back, I had indadvertedly carried it along for the whole trip. […] Read More

Mi depto

February 20, 2015August 10, 2016 Let it go

I really like my little place in Santiago, mi depto, as Chileans say, in short for ‘departemento‘… It is a perfect place to stay, and, in comparison to cities like Melbourne or Tel Aviv, outright cheap. It’s not a one-room studio, but an old, but renovated place, meaning I have a living room and kitchen, […] Read More

Stumbling forward

February 19, 2015August 10, 2016 Let it go

For once, I’m not referring to my travel speed, but actually to stumbling and falling flat on the street. I walked down a street, phone in hand (I think that was the mistake) when I stumbled over an edge along the side walk, maybe an inch high. If at all. I tried to catch my […] Read More

Australian budget (Part II)

February 19, 2015August 10, 2016 Let it go

And here we go again – the details of my spending in Australia, easily the most expensive country on this trip. As feared, I overspend by far – I think I had one single day where I was under my threshold. And often way way beyond. Somehow though I also did not care that much anymore. […] Read More

Longest day ever

February 18, 2015August 10, 2016 Let it go

I boarded Qantas flight QF17 shortly past noon on January 15th 2015, and our 747 took off around 1.30. The flight was relatively smooth, no real turbulence. Thank god, as it was basically 99% over water – the longest commercial flight over water in the world, actually. We flew nearly twelve hours straight, and landed shortly […] Read More

Returning to South America

February 18, 2015August 10, 2016 Let it go

Time’s up for Australia, and I’ll head out of Sydney to Santiago today. Time flew, I can’t believe it has been 6 weeks in total…. Here are the details of the flight: Flight 43: Sydney to Santiago Date: 18/02/2015 Code: QF17 SYD to SCL Airline: Qantas Plane: Boeing 747 Distance flown: 7491 Miles Duration: 11h57 This flight holds […] Read More

Revival time

February 17, 2015August 10, 2016 Let it go

After meeting Cate yesterday in Canberra, it was time for another round of revivals. First, I met Angus again, whom I met in Melbourne last year and then on in Sydney. He was so generous to offer me a place to crash for the night, and we went out afterwards… … to meet Glenn, a […] Read More

Canberra

February 16, 2015August 10, 2016 Let it go

Day 3 of my trip up to Sydney. This time I went inland, and quickly up the hills, through a couple of green pastures… cows galore! Australia has always such a dry, arid image in my mind, I am surprised to find these lush, green spots. There were a couple of stops with walks through Rain forests, […] Read More
