Let us begin this article with a little analysis of this photo.
Does anything look unusual to you here? Maybe the trees? Looks like a forest? Even like a river? But surfing on a river? I don’t know about you, but this came as a big news to me when I first heard about it from a friend last week.
The photo was taken in Munich, at a small, man-made …
After an eventful and fun weekend at Rock am Ring, I was very excited to follow an invitation by Beck’s Music Experience to tag along to another festival favorite of mine – Hurricane. This time there were no hotels, no fancy buffet or cocktails – this time was pure festival goodness: beers, chips and sleeping inside a nightliner. Having given up on all plans to become a rockstar when I …
Traveling can be hard sometimes. I mean wearing your backpack all the time, visiting thousands of sights, walking through streets the whole day, taking trains and planes and buses non-stop – all that stuff can be exhausting. Therefore, every now and then, you just need to give yourself a break. In your ho(s)tel bed… getting a massage… or while taking a nice long dive into a fancy swimming pool. Should …
Dear travelettes
due to popular demand, we did not want to hold out any longer and are launching into the summer with a new travelettes flea market! the first market back in august last year as well as the Christmas market last December were huge successes where lots of clothes changed owners and a buck or 2 was earned by the vendors to finance an upcoming trip.

It seems like there is a “exploring your own country” theme going on here within my latest posts. That might be the result of being a full time employee and only be able to travel for weekend short trips. But Germany has a lot to offer, so last weekend I took the opportunity of a day off at work to visit friends in Hamburg for a couple of days. …
Last week I got an emergency call from my dear little brother:
“Nina, I got a spot at Bamberg University, I need to go there for enrollment and to find a flat next weekend. Wanna join?”
Of course I would (Travelette as I am…)! So two days later I found myself on my way to Bavaria. Since I have been there only as a child I always had the typical clichees of …
Be honest, have you ever really been to the real touristy stuff in your hometown, the city you live in or the closest larger city? More than just driving by on your way to work? Or meeting up at a monument just because it is the only remarcable place around? Have you ever had a tourist map of your city in your hands, not just to find that party at …
My first real trip to Bavaria. I had been to Germany’s most Southern Bundesland (state) before but never for more than one night, so I was pretty exited what a whole 5 days in 4 different Bavarian cities would bring.
I had a plan ready that I would eat all the Knödel and Hax’n my stomach could fit, something I mastered with the professionalism of someone whose Great-grandma made the best …
The Michelberger Hotel is one unlike any other I have ever come across. Before I knew it was an actual hotel, I thought it was a night club, as, before its opening a couple of months ago, it hosted various parties including this one or that one or even that one.
