The most beautiful beach in the world

If I were to ask you to name the most beautiful beach in the world what would you say? Somewhere exotic in Thailand, a secluded island in the Caribbean, or maybe you’re tempted by the crystal clear waters of Mexico? Perhaps a beach in the south of France would not be a natural choice but I recently found somewhere I consider to be amongst the most beautiful beaches in the world!

The Pale Blue Door – Dinner in a Traveling Wonderland

About a week ago, I got an exited email from a friend in London telling me about something called the Pale Blue Door. A type of supper club that travels around the globe always building a magic space made of old wood and things they find or they are given to then open their pale blue door to their guests for just 12 nights during the course of 3 weeks. …

Mojito lovin’

Mojitos are good. And I already told you about my personal favourite Mojito bar in Barcelona. But: I recently came across a very cool tumblr blog which judges Mojitos all around that wonderful city. Mojitos en Barcelona contuinously adds more and more bars and their Mojitos, including a five star rating system, the price and address. Salut!

Lonely Planet destroyed my life

Recently I came across a really interesting blogpost, written by a German journalist called Scholti about travelling and how it impacts your life. This article really got me thinking, so I wanted to share it with you. For that, I translated part of it into English, the complete German version can be found here.
I understand what the guy means, I somehow made similar experiences and share the same feelings. Before …

2. For those who want to spend even less than that to spend a few days on the water, read …

The first Travelettes Fleamarket – in photo and video

Oh how lovely was our first Travelettes fleamarket! The turn-out was amazing and most of the 20 girls who sold their old vintage in support of their holiday piggy bank were able to trade rags for riches. The ladies brought on some really high end stuff which is why I invested most of the money I made straight back into new clothes. Flamenco shoes, a skirt, 2 tops, 2 books, …
