Over the weekend, Mike and I finalized our bookings for a special little get-away in September. It seems crazy even just writing this out, but this year we will be celebrating our 10-year anniversary… talk about high school sweethearts, right? Since 10 years of love are definitely something to celebrate, we decided to skip town and have…
Sawasdee Ka from Bangkok: Even though I love to travel and feel like I have gotten to explore many incredible destinations, Asia has never been ticked-off my list until this week. And this is just the beginning! Bangkok is so different than any city I have ever been to. It is huge, it is busy, it…
This year, it seems that I am racking up those frequent traveler miles. After starting our year in Maui, Mauritius was next on the agenda in February. Then in March Mike and I flew to the Maldives and stopped in Abu Dhabi on our way home. April brought along 4 days in Dallas and in…
I am not one to shy away from telling others how much I love my beautiful hometown Vienna. It seems that the longer I live here, the more the love grows. Aside from all the history and stunning architecture, Vienna is a city that feels welcoming and charming. It is international with over 1 million inhabitants but…
While Fashion Week is currently going on in Berlin, I am already back in Vienna. I did, however, spend the weekend in Berlin, which was absolutely amazing. Since Mike had his company’s summer party in the city on Friday and I had some meetings on Monday, we decided to stay the entire weekend. After being…
There is always something magical about being surrounded by water. It doesn’t really matter if it is a lake, river or the ocean. Water has a calming effect on me and also creates instant visions of vacation. Pair the endless sea with amazing destinations like Barcelona, Marseilles, St. Tropez, Antibes and Monte Carlo, and you’ll…
John Frieda and I go way back – back to my mom’s shower circa 15 years ago. Back then, we lived in California and I went to Junior Lifeguards camp during the Summer. I have never minded my brown hair, but all of a sudden I was surrounded by lots of blonde surfer girls with…
In terms of food, Barcelona definitely has a lot to offer. Aside from the obligatory tapas and paella, there are also plenty of stylish supper clubs and some amazing places to brunch. Since we wanted to enjoy the pool at our hotel in the afternoons, we usually ventured out in the morning for some breakfast…
Ironically, I am currently mid-air on my way to Barcelona (again) while typing up this hotel review of the W Barcelona. However, this time around I won’t be staying at a hotel but rather on a boat – more on that next week. Since the trip to Barcelona was my Christmas present, I didn’t have much…
Back in December, Mike asked me to choose between Barcelona and Hamburg. With no idea what he was getting at, I instantly said Barcelona. Not because Hamburg isn’t great, but because I have been in Hamburg so much recently and when it comes to traveling, I am usually a fan of “the farther the better”….
