When the canyon lands in Utah showed up in front of me for the first time I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Knowing these pictures from movies is one thing. But being part of it. It felt so unreal driving in a world like no other and I had a hard time to keep on …

Wait, haven’t I been here before? Yes, it’s undeniable. I like to see places again. It seems if I like a place I have to return at least once more and not too long after to preserve the image and feeling. So San Francisco and LA were again on the list for a short Hello …

I will never forget the first moment I stepped into New York. I had a couple of ideas what I wanted to do first when I would arrive in Manhattan. And I recalled these plans while I was on the train from my Airbnb in New Jersey where I had arrived after the long flight …
Toronto, my last stop before flying back to Germany, unfold itself in three parts.

The scenic route which takes you along the St. Lawrence River and the Thousand Islands from Kingston to Brockville is one way to end up here where you can enjoy the busy little town and its cultural activities …
It feels like a goodbye to Canada leaving Halifax and Nova Scotia on the train. I keep looking out of the window, a couple of musicians play again in the bistro car as I see forests, lakes and roads passing by. You know this feeling when you listen to music and look outside of a …

Folding and stretching myself out of the overnight train from Québec to Halifax with the grand name “The Ocean” – Vancouver to Toronto it’s called “The Canadian” – I suddenly had reached the other side of Canada and was looking at the Atlantic Ocean. The train ride was unspectacular concerning the landscape but interesting with …

First things first. In Québec City I made the decision to come back to Germany a bit earlier than planned – in the end of May. One month to go. Wow, that’s really early and it feels weird to write it down. I realized my increasing inner unrest to figure out a couple of things …

It’s weird to exit the bus and suddenly everything is in French. Even getting on the metro felt like I’ve been thrown somewhere into Paris and not like Canada anymore. And I guess it’s the only place where you have to clarify what Starbucks is…? The vibe is relaxed, chilled and on a sunny day …

After being 2 1/2 days on the train Toronto was merely a stop to stretch my legs, breathe some air and get something for my brain before going to explore Montreal and Quebec. So there’s not much to tell about this first stopover as there are more stops here to come and all I did …
