The Middle East is a popular destination, mainly for travelers heading to Dubai or Abu Dhabi. However, neighbouring the United Arab Emirates on the South, beautiful Oman stretches along the Gulf. From stunning resorts along to coast to lush Wadis, a red sand desert and impressive mountains, the country has a lot to offer and…
It is barely 4pm as I am typing this and the sun is nowhere to be seen. Short days, cold weather and gray skies are generally a key-player in my need to escape to a warm and sunny place, far far away. With the festive season comes the holiday season, and for many that means…
To me, “home” is defined more by emotions rather than by geographic location. Theoretically, there have been many places that I used to call home throughout the past 30 years. Born in Stuttgart, moved several times within small villages. Next was Bavaria and then California. Where we spent 5 years. Then my dad’s work brought…
There is always a certain magic that comes with a city located by a large body of water. It provokes an inner calm that is hard to compete with. Hence, it comes at no surprise that hanseatic Hamburg is amongst my favorites of the German cities. Not only due to it’s Nordic elegance (which can…
If you would have asked me about Madrid six months ago, there is not much I could have told you. Now, however, that is a different story. The Spanish central capital was never really on my radar, leave alone my travel bucket list. Luckily, my siblings took it upon themselves to gift me a very…

Even though most of the hotels’ and restaurants’ employees are locals…

I can’t believe it has already been 6 weeks since we got back from our magical trip to Mexico. And by magical, I really mean it! Nine days, filled with nothing but sunshine, friendly faces, incredible food and new experiences. Everything from our choice of the hotels to the weather, restaurants and activities we opted…
It has barely been 14 days that I have been back in Vienna after our vacation, but for some reason it feels like our perfect week in Vancouver was ages ago. In other words: it is about time that I tell you more about it! Vancouver has had a special place in my heart for…
Two weeks ago, I boarded the A380 heading from Vienna to Dubai for a super short (but very meaningful) lesson on wellbeing at The Retreat Palm Dubai. The idea was simple: “Fall in love with taking care of yourself!”. The motto hit home with me at an instant. Possibly due to the fact, that taking…
“Exploration is really the essence of the human spirit.” as Frank Borman once said. And I couldn’t agree more. To explore is a verb that touches all aspects of our lives – whether it is a relationship, a job or a destination we set out to explore. Exploration always carries that certain bit of the…
