We all know that the finest cities in the world – New York, London, Paris – are full of the finest people. And when I say “finest” I mean weirdest, of course. The strangest, quirkiest and most odd individuals who bring the city colour at night, sunshine in winter and keep the world turning.
The Humans of New York is a website – nay, a movement – dedicated to identifying …

Endless beaches, golden surf spots, low prices, head shaking locals and Tuk-tuks that drive faster than cars. That’s my basic description of beautiful Sri Lanka.
I visited Sri Lanka last year and completely fell in love. One month of breathtaking sunsets, delicious tea, surfing and vibrating nightlife.

 
Sri Lanka is the perfect mix of cultural experiences, peacefulness and delicious cuisine.
Nowadays flights to Colombo, which is the capital city, are relatively cheap from …

What I love about photography is the fact that it can take you to places you’ve never been to and open up worlds you might have never discovered yourself. A single picture can say more than a thousand words and carry more emotions than the longest love letter. Looking for this kind of inspiration, I like to sit down for a few minutes and browse the web for some visual …

People come to Berlin for different reasons – whether it is to comprehend the leftovers of separation and unification, to enjoy the never-ending club tours through Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain or to experience the diversity of cultures living together.
But Germany’s capital is also the center of attraction for artists from all over the world – musicians from Slovakia, writers from Australia and an always growing group of street and graffiti artists …

Anybody who doesn’t believe travel changes you – mostly and hopefully for the better – is probably reading the wrong website. I know that travel changes you. I think you do too.
Here’s one interesting way that travel changed me.
Back in 1999, a family holiday to Naples, Italy, when I was an often moody, always day-dreaming seventeen year old changed the course of my life. It persuaded me to start studying …

As much as I love camping it is very much a rather contradictory topic.To me it really is no more than some romantic illusion mostly shaped by dubious Tumblr photos: a blond girl with long wavy hair wrapped in colorful shawls, her skin is sunkissed. She’s barefoot but a beaded anklet decorates her right foot. At twilight she sits silently by the bonfire, surrounded by her best friends while leaning …

 Bondi, Manly, Bronte… The gorgeous beaches that made Sydney famous the world over share the same characteristics: long strips of golden sand, voluptuous waves, turquoise to indigo shades of water… and also, sadly, a tendency to get atrociously crowded on beautiful summer days.
And yet, with over 100 beaches sprinkled around the city, Sydney is definitely full of other options for the Travelette on the hunt for secluded coves, quiet swimming …

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 …

Is there another extremely cool city in Sweden besides Stockholm?
Yes. it’s Malmö.
I used to live in this extremely cool city for a couple of months last year and absolutely fell in love with the easygoing and environmentally friendly atmosphere. Malmö has a variety of cultures all together living in the small community. Students come from all over the world to study in the big universities just next to the city. Malmö is …

Imagine a tiny town in the high desert of far West Texas. A place that was once established as a water stop, named after a character from a novel, and that is now famous for art installations and mysterious ghost lights. Sounds intriguing? Welcome to the City of Marfa.

I first heard about this far away place when reading an article about the Prada store in Marfa. Yes, you heard right: …
