My sister and me were blessed with incredible sunsets and almost no hazy weather conditions when we cruised around Ha Long Bay, Vietnam. Like a happy puppy with a new toy, I happily snapped photos during our 2 day trip (hundreds of them in fact). […]
Having just spent a beach holiday in Tulum, I was shocked by the price level not just for hotels but the whole “experience”. A Conde Nast article the other day described the whole Tulum bonanza quite fittingly: “Remember the times when you did not need […]
Just across the Guatemalan border, a short car ride away, a small town in Honduras called Copan also has some impressive Mayan ruins and a small colonial town to offer. While Copan Ruinas is nowhere near as famous as its bigger brother Tikal, it’s also […]
On our way back home, we had a 12+ hour layover in New York City – oh boy, it was cold. Having come from a tropical country and a little beach holiday in Tulum, we certainly were not prepared for the sub-zero temperatures and the […]

India is an unbelievable country full of colour, contrasts, energy and spice! In 2008 my family travelled around Rajasthan in the Northern India for a couple of weeks. The trip will always remain one of the most magical and unforgettable experiences I have had in my […]
Cuba was a lot more communist and dysfunctional than I expected. Communism and South American lifestyle – the worst possible combination ever if you like to get things done. God, it was a pain in the ass to get what you wanted. I’m not a […]
This summer my boyfriend and me travelled to Cuba for a month. I’ve been wanting to go for ages so I am finally able to cross it off my list now – I’m getting closer and closer to my benchmark of visiting 50 countries before I turn […]
Two of my best friends in London are twins, a boy and a girl, originally from Beirut. My engineering crew had been talking about a trip to Lebanon for a while. But as always, talks hardly ever turn into plans with people as busy as […]
I wanted to learn how to surf, so I went to Bali. Blonde girl with a big backpack, 17 years old. I had the time of my life. I met the most wonderful people – locals as well as fellow travellers. (Not sure if “traveller” […]
