Mercedes SLS AMG




By now it’s pretty obvious I like cars, and after having crossed a continent listening to the wonderful sound of a V8 it’s time to get my own, while it’s still possible to get one.

Luckily, in my opinion, the nicest V8 sound comes in the best looking package: the Mercedes SLS AMG.

Mercedes recently announced the production of this awesome car will end soon, so there was no time to waste.  So my ‘Silberpfeile’ will be exactly that, grey and fast as an arrow. 

Don’t get me wrong, I love my 911. It’s beautiful, fast and reliable but the sound of the flat 6 can’t compare with a V8. I will obviously keep it, as that’s my daily drive, but I can’t wait for some nice weather and go across Europe in the Merc.

Gulfstream Aerospace Private Flyers Club




As mentioned before, the second to last stage of my round-the-world-trip took me from Singapore straight into Barcelona, just in time for El Clasico. The choice of flights between these cities is limited to say the least, except……. as member of the Gulfstream Aerospace Private Flyers Club.

Thanks to my wonderful Black Amex card, I’m proud to say I’m now a member of this elite club. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy the comfort of first class, especially on some specific airlines, but when you are on a tight schedule, a private plane (and especially a Gulfstream) is the nec plus ultra.

Not sure when my next flight will be, or to what destination, but I’m looking forward to that already.

Home Sweet Home – Around the world in < 80 days




A little over 2 months ago, I boarded a vessel leaving the European continent behind me. After a roadtrip through the US, a very relaxing week on Bora Bora, and some ‘city trips’ to Sydney, Singapore and Barcelona, I returned home last week.

I completed my round the world-trip faster than Phileas Fogg, and in much more comfort. The hotels, the restaurants, but also the people, the weather, they are all amazing memories. A truly amazing experience that I will not soon forget.

But restless as I am, I’m already full of ideas for new adventures. So stay tuned, as I will of course share them here with you.
