places I’ve been – divergent distractions

In 2010 in June I traveled to New York. It was a slightly unplanned trip that I took from Boston/Cape Code where I was staying and I had no real plan coming there, but New York showed it’s best face and gave me a good time. I met a Tibetan monk, two french girls and a great friend. I had some interesting discussions and some great walks around the city. The best part of it all was that it gave me an energy and a buzz.

Btw. not to be missed: The High Line park, beautiful place a summer afternoon!

Here’s my trip on Google Maps & the pictures I took:

Since I’m heading out for a new trip soon I figured it would be good to blog a bit about the places that I’ve been before. I haven’t done this very actively so far, so here it comes

In 2008 in the winter I traveled with Allison to Morocco. We visited Tanger, Fes, Moulay Idriss and Meknes. I must say that it was Moulay Idriss and Fes that made the most lasting impression on me. Moulay Idriss for it’s sheer beauty, perched on top of a hill with the flat olive trees below. Fes because of it’s “Alice in Wonderland” qualities, dropping down in the medina there you feel transported to a different place & time. All in all, Morocco is one of the most beautiful countries I’ve visited.

Below is our itinerary and pictures attached!
