Crossing the border at Ojinaga was a breeze. I only had to deposit 400 US dollars for the temporary importation of the motorcycle, which will be returned to me when I leave the country. This deposit detours a person from selling vehicles in the country rather than...

“You stupid bitch! You f__ing c__t!” a Yank angrily yelled at me on the beach. “Thank you for the nice greeting,” I replied, but he kept yelling. I had dared to ask him from afar if his gang of big dogs running around his van was friendly or...

After an annoying year – I guess we all felt that way – in which almost nothing worked out as I had imagined, it was finally time for a new adventure. With Covid continuing to cause so many problems world-wide: travel possibilities were nearly nil. The...

I am pretty sure everyone of you has seen those beaches where people are lying like sardines and trying to get a glimpse of the ocean for themselves. I remember those times when I had to go on holiday with my parents at the age of nine or...

The light is different on the Baja California. Softer, not as colorful and less contrast as in other parts of the world. The low light gives the desert a somehow mystical feeling. Warm and cozy. I could easily write a love letter to this long and narrow Peninsula...

The Baja Divide is a brand-new trail which crosses Baja California on rough and sandy trails. Always away from the tarmac and busy roads. 1700 miles to La Paz at the Southern end of the Baja. I wasn’t super excited to follow another red line someone else had created....
