My trip
I don’t believe that moments of happiness lose sweetness over time and when I recently found some photos of my walk up the Portico di San Luca in Bologna last year I was reminded of this. Back came the happy memories of a warm day in May last year, the peace and quiet of escaping a city centre, the gentle nods to those who passed me by and the thrill …
Once upon a time, in the days of gladiators, emperors and a legendary empire that looked as if it would bow down to nobody, the city of Rome was known as the all powerful capital of the world. These days thankfully, the city has softened, its formidable face replaced with a reputation as one of the top contenders for a beautiful European city break. But in terms of undeniable history …
I need to share a secret with you. Considering my age and my former attitude (talking childhood attitude here) towards the topic, I find it pretty embarrassing but I have to admit that I am obsessed with Baywatch.
Have you stopped laughing yet? I know, I know, as a woman I should criticise the obvious combination of soft-porn and family show; as a film student the production of suspense and the lack …
Before visiting Cape Town for the first time I really did not know much about it. Every now and then I heard about a TV production (anything from “The Bachelor” to “Germany’s next Topmodel”) being produced there and that models and photographers went down there during the months of December to March (the South African summer) to shoot swimwear editorials for the upcoming season while we back home froze our …
When the offer rolled in whether I wanted to go on a trip to my home country of Austria, I was already dreaming of sunshine, snow and mountains. Living in Berlin is great but I do sometimes miss the mountains. I was very excited this was happening – soon enough I was on my way to reach the ultimate dream destination in the Alps: Ischgl, Tyrol.
Ischgl is a place that …
“Are you crazy?” he asked me. It’s not unusual for my boyfriend to ask me this so I ignored him and carried on getting ready, wondering what to take with me even though all I’d been firmly advised to bring was “just a towel”.
“You don’t have to go,” he suggested gently and I stopped rolling up my “just a towel” and turned to him before putting my coat on.
“But I …
Imagine it is early summer, and you want to do a road trip to the European South. Skip the crowded beaches of Italy, and trade them for the relaxing paradise you can still find in Croatia. Drive by the (just as crowded) beaches of Krk, Pag and Northern Dalmatia and make your way to the most southern (bigger) island of South Dalmatia: MLJET.
1. Get out to get in
Once you’ve passed …
What does a girl with no sense of direction do when she wants to make a documentary about reindeer in the minus 38 degrees wilds of Northern Sweden? Well, this girl recruits her friend Patrick, a German ex-Special Forces Army Captain to come along and serve as her assistant.
And so it began, our 3,400 kilometer 5 day odyssey from Stockholm to Kiruna, Lapland, with Patrick the machine driving, and with …
Traveling Europe can result in a rainbow of emotional responses – surprises lurk everywhere. A trip will make your eyes widen and your heart beat faster. The amount of hidden, breathtaking places seems endless, the many different landscapes and diverse cultures inspire awe and wonder.
During a 6-week long road trip along the Spanish and French coastline I got to know another angle of Europe and discovering many stunning regions, some of …
“I can see snooooow!!!”
- Every year I am looking forward to this day. When suddenly huge snowy mountains appear in front of me. When the landscape slowly turns from looking grey and dusty into a white magic winter wonderland. That’s the time for the first shred, the first ride down a snowy piste and that first true winter feeling.
Arrival in Laax, Switzerland
When researching for a perfect snow resort a couple of …
