In the end of May I got a chance for a long weekend bike trip, thanks to Bavaria's ample religious holidays. I decided to take a regional train (free with the Deutschlandticket) to Passau and make my way through the hilly region of Bayerwald, bordering Austria and Czechia.

Today with some of the other students at DLR we went on a hike to Königssee, Germany's 3rd deepest (190 m) and arguably most photogenic lake.

Last month it was time to say goodbye to Toulouse, and France in general, as I headed to Munich in Germany to start my end-of-studies internship.

Now that the university courses are over, I had a bit of time to fulfil something I've been planning to do this whole time in Toulouse: completing the Canal du Midi cycling route from Toulouse to Bordeaux.

After just two weeks in Toulouse after the Christmas holidays, I visited Helsinki (again!) last week. Just like last year, I was there to take part in the ever-growing Winter Satellite Workshop conference.
