My trip
Once upon a time, there was a little girl living in an old riad, within the red solid clay walls of the Medina in Marrakech.
Her days were filled with school tasks, with helping her mom and her aunts with light chores and playing with her little brother. In the evening, after dinner was served, she would sit on the lap of her grandpa and listen to his stories.
But once the …
It’s no secret that Lake Como, situated in the Lombardy region of Italy, is one of Europe’s most desirable holiday destinations. This is where impressive mountain scenery, lush greenery and deep blue water come together to form a truly one-of-a-kind panoramic view.
It is also no secret, however, that vacationing here can be quite pricey. Throughout history, Lake Como was a popular holiday destinations for aristocrats and wealthy Europeans, which …
Carefully I dive my right foot into the hot pool, checking the temperature. It is not too hot and so I dive in with my whole body. A light smell of brimstone hangs in the air and darkness surrounds me. The little waves caused by my body break against the stone wall and make a quiet swashing sound. Hesitantly I advance towards the back of the pool, there must …
I’ve been working abroad for the last 7 years, including the past 2 years on cruise ships. In that time, I’ve met hundreds of women from dozens of countries. Most of the time they’ve been pleasant encounters, especially when they share my love for travel. The interesting thing is, regardless of where they are from people aren’t as different as we make them out to be. There definitely tends to …
The human kind is somewhat bipolar.
Dog versus cat people, the mac and windows fellows, the nut/chocolate/vanilia- or strawberry/lemon/rasberry icecreamers, the ones who like sweet breakfast and the ones who prefer salty. And then there is the Italy versus France division.
I am more of an Italy kinda girl. I just love their easy way of handling their massive cultural heritage: In front of the Pantheon there is a McDonalds, the cafes …
With all the recent press on Somali pirates and Kenyan killings, even the toughest wannabe G.I. Jane traveler could be forgiven for being more than a tad cautious about travelling through East Africa.
The country is probably known for three main things: big-game safari, amazing marathon runners and The Lion King. However, there is a host of differing cultures and religions within this one vast country; from the smog-filled bustle of Kenya’s …
This summer I completed a 25day long solo-hike through Iceland and made a short documentary about it called MADE IN ICELAND. Since then I’ve been overwhelmed by the positive feedback I’ve got- and the many questions about my trip. And here they are, the answers to a collection of the most frequently asked questions about the hike:
ICELAND
Why did you choose Iceland as a destination?
Iceland is well-known for it’s beautiful …
Coney Island is one of those places that time forgot; a former island and beach holiday resort for New Yorkers, not much has changed since the famous Cyclone wooden roller coaster made its debut on June 26, 1927. It was misty and muggy the day I made it down to Coney Island (as the photos might show) but that didn’t stop the fun of walking along the boardwalk, checking out the old …
I have been waiting all summer long for this moment: sandy beaches, green sparkling waves, sunshine and hot surfer guys. And finally all those day dreams became true. My friend Leo, who I once met at a surfcamp two years before, invited me out on a roadtrip along the Atlantic Coast. Equipped with a VW camper van, canned food, lots of sun cream and our surf gear we started our …
When I was browsing through the Internet this morning and found out that today was world pasta day, I could not believe it. What’s so unbelievable about that?, you’ll probably wonder. Well, keep reading.
Following a generous invitation by the Emilia Romagna Tourism Board, I was lucky enough to spend this last weekend in the stunning area of Emilia Romagnia, a northern region of Italy which is very reputable for its …
