Andorra
April 8th – 11th, 2025 This trip was full of unexpected surprises, and not all of them good. It all started at Bristol airport, where David and I grabbed some pre-packaged wrap. I started to feel sick as the plane took off, and I vomiting the moment the plane landed. But it didn’t stop there….
Courchevel 1850: The Birkins are as Real as the Snow.
January 3rd — January 10th, 2026 Wow.

Camera simply cannot capture the magnitude of the Dome. Normally, without much of a religious background, I tend to just glance through churches briefly. But this…
Gurgl, Austria
March 12th – 15th, 2025 My second solo trip – Thanks to Ryanair’s “brilliant” handling, my trip was delayed by a full day, but I finally, albeit a bit battered, made it to Obergurgl, Austria. I checked into the Bergwelt Hotel, which turned out to be a dream for lazy skiers like me, with its…
