View over Kraków on a fresh January day
I have been taking photos ever since my uncle and aunt inspired me to buy my first DSL at the age of 16. I was born in Holland, moved to the eastern part of the Netherlands, immigrated to Sweden. Here I wrote a travel guide book as thick as a brick about my new home country, was a news and radio correspondent and was a teacher in Swedish schools. 15 years after settling in the land of the Vikings, I popped over to the southern side of the Baltic Sea, and found my third home in Kraków, Poland. The third time's the charm. June saw some really weird vehicles making their rounds over the Silesian Racing Ring in Southern Poland. Earlier in June, I visited the gorgeous villages of Cinque Terre for a weekend. And almost at the end of the month I took a break to visit the Silesian small-town of Pszczyna - with its vast green zone. The photos and the story are up. My latest edit is from a small weekend break to Bari, a great start for a trip through the beautiful Pugglia region of Italy. Check it out!

My newest stories
Bari: seaport with nice old town | Pugglia, Italy
29 June 2025 • The seaport city of Bari used to be notorious for its crime, but nowadays it offers a great weekend escape or a nice start of your discovery of the Pugglia region.
Pszczyna: small-town with vast green zones | Silesia, Poland
27 June 2025 • Pszczyna is an unexpected gem. It has a picturesque main square (rynek) including a few restaurants with tasty food, and from there one walks easily into its relatively extensive green Castle Park. Continue into the quieter green zone to the west and one comes across deer and even the wisent (European bison) in a small reserve.
Cinque Terre: gorgeous villages on the rocks | Italy
22 June 2025 • In the northwest of Italy, at the Ligurian Sea, 5+ gorgeous villages are donned on rocky cliffs. Practically car-free, it is like stepping into a film set of beauty. Add great Italian food, a sea to swim in and wonderful hiking trails in between the settlements, and you are up for a travel treasure.
40 years Shell Eco-marathon | Kamień Śląski, Poland
15 June 2025 • Cars in the shape of fancy cigars whoosh over the racing track, followed by others that look like they have been flown in by The Jetsons, the popular futuristic 1960s and 1980s cartoon series. But these vehicles are real, and their race is somewhat peculiar.
