With fancy and expensive design hotels popping up all across the world, it’s nice to hear that every now and then, there is a hotel that has the unique appearance of a design hotel but really is sustainable and based on a simple idea.

Following a generous invite by Contiki to come to Munich and celebrate the last days of this year’s Oktoberfest, I decided to ditch work for a weekend and head down there for some really serious hedonism. I had never been to Oktoberfest before, so it was time to pop my cherry and find out what it’s all about. I had a feeling it would be pretty fun, but in all …
Yoga is an interesting sport. Ever since I became a faithful fan of Sex and the City some many years ago, I’ve been convinced that there is something about yoga that is quite special, giving people – and especially women – who practise it, a certain power.

We love camping. You seem to love it too, as long as it’s a new and exiting form of camping, telling from the great response we got from posts about tree camping or the camper bike. Just as unusual as those two is this new camping experience created by German industrial designer Daniel Straub: a swimming caravan.
Camperwagons which only roll around and stand there, are so yesterday – the future …

Luise is one of the few real Berliners. Even though she loves her hometown, where she plans to one day own a house with the white picket fences, she escapes frequently. After longer stays in Rome, Florence and New York, she recently came back to Berlin and is currently planning her future in Argentina. By late 2011 she will leave for Buenos Aires to learn Tango and drive motorcycles, following …
