There are numerous opportunities to visit shrines and temples in Kyoto. I really wanted to visit a shrine with a guide.

I would like to give you an overview of what else you can experience here (apart from looking for the perfect view of Mount Fuji).

Unfortunately, on my first day in Hakone I could only glimpse Mount Fuji through a thick blanket of clouds, so I was very motivated.

While in Japan, I really wanted to go to an area that is very close to Mount Fuji.

After a few days in Tokyo, I wanted a change from such a big city and took a day trip to Takao.

Friends recommended that I take a day trip to Nikko from Tokyo.

With another traveler, whom I met in the hostel in Tokyo, I planned to visit the teamLab art facility.

To get a bit more insights to the city and also to meet new people, I booked a walking tour online.

With the stay in Medan, I am now also coming to the end of my Indonesia trip.

Tokyo is an incredibly large and exciting city, in which there is extremely much to experience.

That palm oil is not good for the environment, but that it is contained in many foods, I think everyone is aware.

The thirst for adventure was awakened when I read that there is the possibility to do a jungle hike in Sumatra.

Schon einmal den Namen Amorphophallus titanum gehört?

We chose Labuan Bajo as a place to stay overnight to have a suitable place to start our Komodo trip.

The Komodo dragons - incredibly large, very rare and seem from their appearance not quite of this world.

In between there are always snapshots that I would like to share with you. Here are some pictures from Bali :)

Continuing on to Amed after Ubud, the difference between these two towns could hardly be greater.

Most visitors go only to the first temple. This one has a gate through which one has a wonderful view to the volcano Agung.

The car ride between Ubud and Amed takes about 3 hours. Our driver Agung took us to 2 places worth seeing along the way.

From this start, you walk only very briefly along the signposted path until you already have the super view of the rice terraces.
