I have never been on a cruise. Actually, that’s not entirely true, I’ve done loads of boat trips. I cruised down countless rivers, the odd sea and one time I even spent 5 straight days and nights on a boat from Manaus to Belem in Brazil, sleeping in hammocks and spending the day drinking beers and tanning on the roof top. I’ve just never been on an actual cruise ship, …
Marie C. caught travel fever when she left her native France to study in Australia for a year; the fever turned out so serious that she actually stayed two. She loves the smell of coffee, any piece of clothing with animal print, the combination of good wine and great friends, watching the sunrise after a night of partying, and would never go anywhere without a book. Currently living in Paris, …
Club holidays and I have a history together. Its beginning dates back to the tender age of 12 when my family and I would go on biannual trips to 4-star resorts in Turkey, Greece, Tunisia and Morocco. It was an ideal family style holiday because resorts are often so large that they offer something and someone for everyone. In our first few days my mother would always make it her …
I don’t know about you, but every few months I am in desperate need of complete relaxation. It can get tough at times living in a metropolis like Berlin where it’s all about getting the job done, keeping up with social activities, having an open ear for friends and their problems and always working out your own.

I could have a bunch of parties, rent it out to P Diddy or Beyonce during summer or start a surf camp or something. After all, it’s OK to dream a little.
So how do I buy one? …

Jozi is the epicentre of the contenent’s art scene, finding fascinating ways to mix traditional African art with Western influences. The graffiti scene here is relatively new, compared to those in New York or London but it’s on the rise with a lot of remarkable talent emerging. …
Goofy Rita packed her flowery vans, pink runners and edgy high heels into a backpack first time at the age of eighteen. A round-the-world trip gave a forever lasting spark to always look for new adventures to this talkative Finnish girl. She’s always up for new challenges, whether somebody is throwing her out off a plane or giving her a skateboard. Her destinations are often situated somewhere near the snowy …

Coming to Landaa Giravaaru, short Landaa, felt like a dream. We had just been spending 4 amazing nights at the Four Seasons Resort in Kuda Huraa, another Maldives Island, (we wrote all about it here) and we really didn’t think there could be any upgrade from there. There was.
We walked into our beach villa – or was it a beach mansion? – like rap stars. Nina and Katja were back …
Before visiting Cape Town for the first time I really did not know much about it. Every now and then I heard about a TV production (anything from “The Bachelor” to “Germany’s next Topmodel”) being produced there and that models and photographers went down there during the months of December to March (the South African summer) to shoot swimwear editorials for the upcoming season while we back home froze our …
