Oh dear, how good it feels to be home! Sleeping in my own bed, sipping my favourite green tea, eating the best version of porridge with my favourite tiny spoon, drinking a mug of hot cocoa and watching the rain fall outside ☺️
Yes, Mother Nature definitely knows how to make a lazy morning stretch all

One last, short walk on my way to the airport — and another journey through time. From the narrow, tourist-packed streets of the Gothic Quarter, through the oriental vibes of El Raval, all the way to the modern port and the statue of Christopher Columbus pointing towards America.
Farewell, Barcelona

Riding the wave of yesterday’s fascination with street art, combined with my lifelong love of the narrow streets of old towns, I set off for a morning walk through Ciutat Vella. This is where Barcelona once squeezed itself into an area of around 500 hectares, enclosed within medieval walls. The original

I was craving nature and open spaces. Being squeezed between tall buildings, surrounded by endless rows of identical streets, had really worn me down... I set off from Arc de Triomf and, before long, found myself in Ciutadella Park, surrounded by trees. The sky opened up above me, and beneath my feet

Montjuïc rises from the city on one side and opens out towards the port and the endless sea on the other, with the imposing Palau Nacional, the Olympic complex from 1992, and a multitude of parks and gardens — so that’s where I headed for some morning exploring 🤩
I ran out of time before I could get

An iconic city and a major tourist hotspot. Obviously, pretty much everyone has heard of Gaudí, and even toddlers can probably say “Sagrada Familia” a week after being born 😉 So when I found out a few months ago that there would be a scientific conference in my field here, I didn’t hesitate for long

Lately, the sun just can’t seem to make it over the mountains, leaving the valley in cold shadow for hours on end. It’s nice to have gloves on and a snuggly top for a change.
I ride along, already looking forward to the swimming pool — back in the water again today after such a long break 🤩 I practically

Sometimes it pays to suffer. Not that I’m into any kind of martyrdom or self-denial — quite the opposite! Hedonism, debauchery, decadence — that’s my motto 🤣🤣🤣
...
But seriously — this morning, for the first time in my life, I genuinely sweated from pain. So much that the towel on the massage table

Rocco says it’s all good — I just need to give it time and keep exercising. He says I should keep moving and strengthen the muscles. Walk, cycle, ride uphill too, and even use SPD — just be careful not to twist my ankle. As long as it doesn’t hurt. And within reason.
That last part might be a problem

The plan for the afternoon was simple: a stroll through the narrow streets of the old town, followed by some relaxing with a book on the sun-drenched promenade ☀️ Everything went according to plan this time 👌 Well, almost.
Because instead of reading, I foolishly closed my eyes, listened to the gentle

I look at the mountains, and my heart and soul ache to be there — among the golden larches, the russet-red bilberry bushes and grasses, watching the morning dew glisten on spiderwebs, feeling that vastness and space, filling my lungs with fresh air 💚
But I know I need to slow things down and give my

Sometimes life surprises you. It surprised me again two days ago, when I found out that some urgent matters were waiting for me in Poland... And while I was frantically arranging the trip, feeling a little helpless, a little resigned and a little pissed off, Mum said: “You know, if it would make your

My ankle still hurts — or rather, it’s more of a burning sensation now. And I’m no longer sure whether cycling is helping or making things worse... It definitely helps my head and my psyche, though, and there’s not that much distance between the two and the ankle — perhaps some of that healing will travel

Somewhere on the border between summer and winter, relaxation and pushing myself, energy and exhaustion, I rode to Santa Maria in the hope that the bike would heal me — because all those Instagram Shorts say it does. But since I don’t watch Instagram anymore, it didn’t quite work as advertised, and it

I didn’t have to think long about the route. I was in the mood for a climb, but one that would be gentle on my ankle — more of a caress than a tug-of-war 😁 Centovalli was a perfect fit 👌
The mornings are getting chilly now, so in the spirit of being kind to myself, I left home late — only once the sun
