I’m a self-admitted festival hussie. My parents were huge hippies and I grew up going to lots of festivals and giant outdoor concerts, and as an adult I’ve been to and worked at my fair share. But no other week has blown my mind and changed me as much as going to Burning Man.

In San Francisco I take it for granted everyone knows about it; …
A Travelette not only loves to travel the world but also to discover the hottest beauty trends. You may think that Paris or New York are always on the forefront of beauty, but hold your horses, just wait what Japan has to bring to the table!
We do realise that beauty trends and ideals are different around the world. It’s common knowledge that Asian countries like to keep a very light …
The light shines golden through the high Edwardian windows. Outside, I watch business men rushing home, girls carrying bags full of brand new clothes, exhausted from a day’s worth of shopping, tourists carefully crossing the street, confused by the unfamiliar left-hand driving.
It’s the typical chaotic London rush hour scenario. Happening right in front of me, but still seeming like miles away. The inside of the lobby is ruled by a …
Melbourne is sometimes incredibly stressful, and I find myself getting anxious and on edge in my free time and days off from work. “But it’s so cultural!! You must be in love with the city!!”, I hear you Travelettes cry, and yes that is correct. However, there is so bloody much to see, do, eat, drink, explore and discover, that I constantly find myself writing scattered notes upon hearing friends’/critics’ …
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 …
Ladies, this post is not going to be about Rock’n’Roll. There’s Rock bars, Rock restaurants, Rock Hotels, Rock Museums and a boat that rocked. But have you ever heard of a restaurant on a rock? Well, I at least know of one. The Rock Restaurant was built on a tiny rock in the ocean in Zanzibar, Tanzania. This lovely place is situated near the shore of the Michanwi Pingwe beach …
There are people who take pictures of things that look right. And then there are those who take pictures of things that feel right. Photographer Ines Amd is one of them and so it is, that when you look through her photos, you can’t help but feel – joy, estonishment, awe, longing and quite possibly even a fair bit of jealousy for the wonderful places she’s traveled to.

A city with narrow cobbled streets and magnificent but derelict buildings is what you would normally think of when hearing about Lisbon, but the Portuguese capital is gradually turning into a huge gallery for innovative street art. On my way to downtown Baixa last year, I passed by something that surprised me, huge cranes were standing next to a block of once beautiful but now derelict buildings. A few days …
What comes to your mind when you think of Croatia?
For the longest time, to me it had been one of those destinations that people talked about as being really pretty and certainly worth a trip. However, no one ever really described what it was actually like and unlike European holiday favorites such as Greece, Italy or Spain, Croatia simply is not quite as talked about in the media, which is …
When we heard about a travel bloggers conference happening in Innsbruck, Austria this weekend, we figured that this could be our excuse to take some time off rainy days at the Berlin office and instead doing some networking and maybe learning a thing or two, all while enjoying the sunny and gorgeous city of Innsbruck. Not all of us are here, only Kathrine, Nina, Yvonne and myself (Katja). While Yvonne …
