I am often asked where my favorite places are from my world tours. Hands down, Scotland is my favorite place to visit. She owns a strong spiritual attraction and it is an enchanted land. When my wheels stop turning, this is where you’ll find me.
Scenes of pristine nature across Scotland: The Trossachs, Glencoe, Inverness, Loch Lomond, Mallaig and the Island of Skye.

This is my trekking bike outfitted with Ortleib classic bike roller bags (Waterproof) tent, and mattress pad. Note the improvised “Stella” handlebar bag.
Prerow, DE: I went camping recently at the Baltic Sea. The campgrounds in this region are typically only a minute’s walk to the strand (beach). And, unless you made your reservation back in January, don’t bother driving.
This string of little beach villages is packed with local tourists and many of the locals I met here grew up in East Germany. Hard to imagine standing here in a tranquil seascape that these vast natural resources were used by GDR frontier guards to keep East Germans from escaping to the West. Before the fall of the wall in 1989, these same shores and camping places were patrolled by troops in high-speed boats and armed soldiers with high-power search lights.
Old Cairo: Walk with me as I squirm through the narrow passages of the famous souk at Khan el-Khalili.
In these ancient streets the passages are full of mosques, vendors, deliveries, tourists and shoppers all mixing at the same time. The sounds emerging through all this are of the Friday prayers. I prefer to make my way through the labyrinth during the quiet morning time.

I am sharing a sheaf of fresh newspaper pages devoted to Germany’s world cup semifinal loss to Spain, July 7, 2010.
These photos were taken in the lobby of Axel Springer in Berlin - the publisher of Bild, Die Welt and the Berliner Morgenpost. I was cycling all over Berlin yesterday and this was the only place where I found copies of all the local papers. Naturlich!
The Dream is Over

I thought I would make a tutorial for how to send a DVD through the Internet.
I am in Germany and need to send a DVD image to Florida for my brother to burn to a playable DVD movie disc. Snail mail and the delays in international customs processing will make for a slow delivery.
The Challenge:
Send a 4 GB DVD disc image halfway around the world.
The Solution:
This video tutorial that shows how to send a disc image of a DVD using free tools and free file sharing services. (For Mac OSX.)
My colleague, Ahmed Montasser, is providing simultaneous Arabic to
English translation to me in this moment. He is literally whispering

Interviews with editors-in-in chief in Moscow and Alexandria, entrepreneurial journalists at a week-old-online startup in Toronto, and today, the chairman of the board of a 15,000 employee media house in the most populated Arabic country in the world.
