The Baltic States are an as yet unknown travel destination for many. With an unshakable code yellow and only two hours of travel for me reason enough to go out and investigate. It exceeds my wildest expectations; what I find is a wonderful combination of culture and nature. I discover historic cities and deserted beaches, deep forests, picturesque lakes and birds of teeming wetlands. Without corona stress!

Bogota and Cartagena

With the intention of getting acquainted with Colombia and with 13 other directors of travel companies to “brainstorm” about Colombia as a future tourist destination. In the space of a few days we visited capital Bogota and Cartagena, one of the most beautiful cities in Latin America.
Zambia, South Luangwa
A tour group consisting of nine Flemings made a two-week safari in the wild-rich but otherwise desolate South Luangwa where nature photography was central. They ended the trip with a visit to the Victoria Falls. One of the participants wrote a lively report.
