Okay, I have to admit. I am addicted. To my phone. My iPhone. So far, one of the most horrible moments of 2012 was when I lost my simcard holder. My whole life flashed before my eyes and for a short moment I thought everything was lost. I didn’t think about telephone numbers or contacts. My heart skipped a beat because of my pictures. But thank God, every single pic …
The very first map ever was a painting in a cave and it showed not the earth but the night sky. It was found inside the famous caves of Lascaux and was dated back to 16.500 B.C. The earliest surviving map of the world is incised on a clay tablet and it shows, well, just a part of the world. The world seen by the Babylonians. But the maps which …
We knew Solange Knowles was a true fashionista but what we didn’t knew was: she’s also a real travelette! We found that out after reading about her on Garance Dore where she mentions her pretty fabulous tumblr, appropriately called MyDamnBlog. On there she posts photos from her many travels around the world, more often than not stepping in front of the camera herself in outlandishly cool outfits. Turns out Solange …
Sonia Gil has a tick-tic. Every single one of her videos starts with a tick-tick and then she takes us on a journey to places all over the world. There, she shares her view of the place, a special tip or two and an inside perspective on the people living there. Sonias speaks five languages which allows her to talks to locals and find our first hand what is …
I’ve lost my heart years ago. It was on a cold day in late October 1998, as the sun was sprinkling through the yellow, orange, red and brown leaves in the trees while I rode my bike back home. But this home was new. I had just moved there several days ago and so it was bound to happen – I got lost. I walked through the narrow streets, passed …
Dear Ryan,
I haven’t told you lately, but you are very special to me. Since you’ve been in my life the world seems to be a better place. I adore you. Yes, I love you. And I can see it in your eyes that you feel the same way about me. Just a few more days until it’s that time of year again – Valentine’s Day. I know you’ve been probably …
Spain is probably one of the most diverse countries I know. On one hand you have the Balearic Islands with their party people AND gorgeous landscape. On the other hand you have the Canary Islands with their eternal spring and gorgeous landscapes.
However, both are completely different to one another. And then finally there is the mainland with fascinating cities like Madrid, Seville or Barcelona, with little in common with its …
A big thank to anyone who came and joined us for our Christmas flea market last Sunday at Dr. Pong in Berlin. It was a great success and we hope you all had as much fun as we did. We loved seeing so many new and familiar faces who sold clothes or came by to buy them. A special thanks to the ones who agreed to wear our dorky Santa …
“I took off my cap and wanted to yell with the crowd, not because I had gone around the world in seventy-two days, but because I was home again.” These aren’t the words of Phileas Fogg, the fictional character of Jule Verne’s “Around the World in Eighty Days”, these are the words of Nellie Bly, the woman who set the world record for a round the world trip in 1890. …
Tick, Tock goes the clock and is ticking away, closer and closer to Christmas. It’s about time to think about presents! Wouldn’t it be nice if this year we did not have to gift our loved ones with a perfume or a boring vase? This year I’m going to do it different and so do all Travelettes. We’re going to make some kick-ass travel related Christmas gifts. But to save …
