Dolce Vita in Down Under

G’day to my blog post about a six day trip to West Australia in early September 2014. It was a very ‘sensual’ trip, literally covering all senses: beautiful landscapes for the eyes, radio music for the ears, wonderfully cooked food to smell, wine to taste, and alternatingly wind and sun […]
Coastal highlights

Having chosen early spring (beginning of September 2014) for our trip to West Australia meant oftentimes quickly changing weather conditions. Whilst I experienced that lacking sun may cause pictures of coast lines look dull, I remembered an article in one of my photo magazines at home, recommending to shoot such […]
Surprises in Vietnam

The holidays in Central Vietnam in July 2014 were full of surprises…less so for you reading this post, but more for myself. I have actually spent more than two days at the beach and was not bored! Having spent time with my sister, her husband and their two kids surely […]

Surprise! It’s Langkawi.

In April 2014 the long Easter weekend and my partner’s birthday came together and made an excellent recipe for a surprise getaway. I had secretly organized flight tickets, a rental car and three nights in a hotel in beautiful Langkawi. And we both packed our bags and left very excited… […]
Bali, revisited!

In March 2014, just two years after my first visit, we went back to Bali for a long weekend. I am not that much into beach holidays and will get bored after a couple of hours relaxing in an armchair (or “doing nothing” as I would call it). Therefore, we […]
Chiang Mai – to be continued….

In January 2014, my parents were spending their holidays in Thailand and I seized the opportunity to not only see them again, but also visit a new place – Chiang Mai. Contrary to Bangkok, Chiang Mai was not love at first sight… but I got a first glimpse of the […]

Volunteer week in Cambodia

During our last trips we came up with the wish to acquire a new perspective. Instead of travelling we thus opted to join Globalteer (www.globalteer.org) as volunteers. So, in August 2013, off we went for a new experience and the discovery of a new country, Cambodia. After spending a day […]
Street life in Georgetown, Penang

There’s always a reason to go for a weekend escape and there’s always a reason to celebrate, especially if there really is something like the 10 year anniversary (June 2003 – June 2013. Oh gosh, that sounds incredible!). We both did not fancy to head to some standard romantic retreat, […]
Relaxing in Phuket

In April 2013 we went for a weekend escape to Phuket. The weather was not perfect but the two days were very relaxing and our program did anyway not include much more than sampling good Thai food (and the one or other glass of wine) and enjoying Thai massages. The […]

History and Modernity in Seoul

To enjoy the autumn weather we went for another city trip in October 2012. The Korean capital Seoul beautifully combines Old and New (History and Modernity) and that’s what marked our trip from A to Z. From our room (we stayed both in an electronic-equipped hotel room in the hip Gangnam […]
