For our last few days in Bali, we went to see the rice terraces in Tegallalang, hiked up the volcano Mt Batur to watch the sunset, and drove north to the paradise diving town Amed. It was incredible place to be, and I finally got to see a sea turtle up close.

Bali Part 1 – Nusa Penida and Canggu
Nusa Penida is a great place to visit when in Bali. It is nice and quiet, has some beautiful places to see such as the very famous T-rex cliff, and you can easily get around by car or scooter, before sailing back to the mainland. If you are into diving, this is a likely place to see manta rays.

Iceland Roundtrip Part 3
The last week in Iceland we drove from north eastern Iceland along the coast back to Reykjavik. On the way we saw seals, horses and a bunch of waterfalls. We also tried the discipline of strongman and attempted to lift the famous Husafall lifting stone before having a well earned rest in a blue lagoon.

Iceland is perhaps the most unique and most beautiful nature experience I have ever had. I got to experience an active volcano, glaciers, hot springs, lagoons, geysers, waterfalls, icebergs, beautiful hiking trails, unique animals and much much more. We drove around the island for two weeks, and slept in a tent on the roof. This is just the first part of the story, filled with many amazing experiences and pictures.

Chasing the snow
The last couple of days it has been pouring (which is great, cause that means snow on the hills), but today was nice and sunny.

In the end I found the snow

Moving day in Whistler
It isn't easy to find accomodation in Whistler, but I was extremely lucky to find this great place, that I now share with 10 other people from around the world. Alastar from England is my roommate and the others are from New Zealand, Italy, South Africa, Germany and Canada. It snowed last night, so it is all looking good.

I went to Vancouver Island to see a friend, and the Island was much more American with massive halloween decorations and large pickup trucks. Victoria however was very British, and the surrounding areas provided some beautiful nature experiences for hiking.

Coming to (North)America – Vancouver
I am now well through day 2 in Canada. The flight to Vancouver was quite amazing. The guy next to me on the plane and I were so lucky, that there was no third in our row, so we had plenty of room. Turned out he was an Australian on his way to Whistler, after travelling for 3 months in Europe. When taking off from Iceland, we enjoyed a 180 degree sunset. It stayed that way for 3-4 hours, as we flew over Greenland while slowly catching up with the time difference. After a while the sun was so high in the sky, it appeared to be late afternoon, and…
