  17. I am at the westernmost point of the EU, a tiny island on the Atlantic ridge belonging to Portugal. The size of the island is 143 km², and it has a population of 3428.

    And the internet is five times faster than the fastest internet I can get in Berlin. Maybe it's even faster than what I measured (my throughput could be limited by Wifi).

    Germany is a joke.

    Hey everyone! 🎄✨

    Nele and Marko are stopping by to bake some Christmas cookies, so I thought – why not organize a spontaneous Adventure Talk session? 🎥🌍

    📅 When: Today at 19:00 CET
    📍 Where: Join online here or come by in person at Afrikanische Straße 43, 13351 Berlin.

    In this first session about the Canaries, I’ll be sharing my adventures:
    🌊 Diving in Lanzarote
    Sailing around Lanzarote and La Graciosa
    🏖️ Exploring Fuerteventura

    The other islands will be covered in a future session. 🗺️

    🍪 Drinks, tea, cookies, and snacks will be available, so bring your cozy vibes! 🫖✨
    The format is laid-back and informal – I’ll go through my photos and videos, sharing stories freely without preparation. 📸

    🎥 Missed the last talk about São Miguel in the Azores? Check it out here.

    I’d love for you to join – whether in person or online! 😊
    P.S. Maybe we’ll even dance a little afterward. 💃🎶
