About me

Hi there! I’m Petra, the human behind this blog. I’m a mechanical engineer who loves to travel and still believes in dragons and goodness.

To me the world is not the dark, scary place we so often see on the news, but rather full of adventures and human kindness, so I’m here to inspire you to explore it too! 🙂

When I’m not travelling I like to adventure in the kitchen and read books. I also love to eat cheese and walk everywhere. More about me

My next blog post is about Nimis, a massive driftwood sculpture complex and the centre of Ladonia, a micronation in Sweden.🇸🇪 Nimis was built on a secluded beach in the 80s, by an eccentric artist named Lars Vilks. When the authorities found out about his work (he'd even built a 9 story tower by then), they demanded that Nimis should be torn down. After numerous court battles, Vilks declared Nimis an independent territory with the help of the international community and it was eventually allowed to remain there. ⚖️ Today it is an impressive sight: a 75 ton maze of driftwood and nails with many towers and passageways, while the nation of Ladonia has 22.000 residents and 0 inhabitants. More in my post, link in bio. 👆 Pretty awesome, right? 🤩

Another book, another Wednesday! 📚 #erraticbook

Another book, another Wednesday! 📚 #erraticbookwednesdays Today's book recommendation is a Russian Romantic era classic: A Hero of Our Time by Mikhail Lermontov. 👤 While I realise many people consider Romanticism books to be whiny, depressive wastes of time, I think that this book transcends that and isn't getting the attention it deserves. It's a rather short story about the life of Pechorin, a very contradicting character, as told by his friend Maxim. In classic Romantic fashion he has trouble admitting his true feelings and believes himself to be cynically detached from the world, always seeking more to combat his boredom and weariness of life: more pleasure, more excitement, more newness. 🕶️ Oh, and he also considers travel the ultimate cure for his burdened spirit. Sounds familiar yet? 👣 The disenchantment, lack of purpose, and emptiness he's dealing with are very much modern topics and sometimes it helps to remember that we didn't just recently invent all our troubles. The Romantic era guys considered the world broken before it was cool and their take on it is a welcome counterbalance to our current era of obsessive self-actualization and the search for our 'best self'... Also, bonus book feature: fantastic descriptions of the beautiful Caucasus mountains. 🏔️ Has anyone read it yet or would you?

Today I was reminiscing about my hike to Preikest

Today I was reminiscing about my hike to Preikestolen, the iconic Pulpit rock in Norway. 👣 This one is probably the most popular hike in Norway, because it's relatively short and easy, so it's constantly overcrowded. I found it well worth going despite that, because the view over the fjord is fantastic and the rock itself is quite interesting as well. ⛰️ Link to my blog post in bio. 👆Have you ever heard of it or hiked it yourself?
P. S.: I still can't believe Scandinavia made me realise I actually like hiking. 😂

My next blog post about the Ljubljana marshes is up! 🇸🇮 The marshes cover a huge area southwest of Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, and are actually on the UNESCO world heritage list due to their historical significance. They found the world's oldest wheel with an axle buried in the ground there, which is about 5200 years old, and apparently more butterfly species live there than in the entire British Isles. 🦋 Anyone here a butterfly lover?
