I am currently sitting in a train en route to Munich, gazing outside and watching the snow covered fields and mountain peaks pass by. Surrounded by the most beautiful landscapes Winter has to offer, it is hard to imagine that just a week ago, I was busy soaking up the last bits of Australian sunshine…
Planning a trip to Australia is comparable to sitting in front of a huge pile of laundry (just without that negative vibe of having to do chores). You find yourself asking: Where do I start? At least that’s the question I am faced with every time I do the laundry. Luckily, the fact that both…
Four weeks until Christmas – say what? With most of my November filled with sunshine and warm Australian weather, I hasn’t really hit me that the holidays are coming up fast. And by fast, I mean I can’t believe that Christmas Eve is today in four weeks. Where has this year gone? Or am I…
It took me all of 5 minutes to fall in love with Sydney. The moment I stepped outside our Airbnb apartment in Coogee and saw the ocean literally a few steps away, I knew it was a special place. We started our very first day in Sydney with the famous Coastal walk from Coogee all…
A backpack has been on my personal wishlist all year. Originally, I wanted something that would fit my laptop for work and travels, but quickly came to realise that finding a backpack big enough for my Macbook was not an easy task. After a failed attempt (I ordered this backpack a few months ago but…
After a week spent in and around Sydney, I think it is safe to say I have fallen hard for the Australian beach city. It reminds me of a much larger San Diego. The people, vibes, surfers, the lifestyle and coffee culture. A place where you work to live, not live to work. “Laid-back” would…
I cannot believe it has already been 5 days since I arrived in Sydney late Sunday evening after 24 hours of traveling. But it was so worth it. This week has been pure bliss – as you can probably tell by the lack of updates here on the blog. Even though my suitcase is filled…
One of the main reasons that I have never travelled to Australia, New Zealand or Bali is that the journey of 24+ hours has always intimidated me beyond belief. I love to fly – that’s not the problem – but just about everything else that comes along with a long trip like that has been…
When it comes to my skincare, I don’t mess around. I know that I am lucky in the sense that neither during my teenage years nor now as an adult have I ever encountered any sort of acne or bad breakouts. BUT (you know it was coming, right?) due to my lifelong “battle” (sounds more…
When I listen to the storm, that is currently raging over most of Austria, blow outside, it is hard to believe that just a week ago I was wearing a denim jacket and slides on a perfectly sunny Autumn day. One for the books. The sun was still warm enough to sit outside with nothing…
