I like to travel, and I like to snap pictures!

My mother got me an Eurorail ticket when I was 15, and together with two friends, we adventured into France. This was the beginning of a new addiction. I do like to take pictures, so one thing leads to another. On this site, I want to share some of my pictures and some of my trips with you!
Now I am on the road for more than 8 months every year. Visiting old friends and making new friends while exploring this big blue ball.

ByMarc Hastenteufel June 21, 2013June 22, 2013
It does not matter where you are – most of the wide streets have a market one or two times a week. Mostly food but also cloths and household goods are sold. Nice to stroll the stalls and enjoy the smell and the colours of the display. And if you are hungry – plenty of…

The secret of Swiss Absinthe
ByMarc Hastenteufel January 26, 2018December 9, 2025
Movelier Once again, I visited Lara and Chris in Movelier – a small village in the corner between France and Germany. It is the poorest part of Switzerland, mostly farmers, and the people speak French. Last time, Lara told me about her neighbor, who is an Absinthe connoisseur. This time, we went over to his…
