Somewhere between Downtown and Coal Harbour… My love story with Vancouver started back in 2008. Almost 2 years after Mike and I started dating, we booked our first trip to British Columbia to visit his family in Vancouver. It was May and we stayed for 3 weeks, 1 of which was spent abroad a cruise…
For me, time with my family is the best way to recharge my batteries. No matter where in the world we meet, it is always pure happiness and a time where I forget about emails, to-do lists and all other work-related topics. For my dad’s birthday this year, my mom planned a surprise getaway for…
Yesterday I turned 29. Old? Not sure! Happy? Definitely! To celebrate my birthday this year, Mike and I decided to hop on a plane and spend 3 days in Istanbul. Our last visit 4 years ago for Easter and we absolutely loved the crazy busy city, which is why we decided to come back for…

It has been a little (ok, a lot) quiet here on the blog. But hey, Christmas is all about time spent offline, right? After a few perfect days at home, Mike and I took of to London for the last 3 days of the year. Since we have both been to London multiple times, there…
You know as they say: Save the best for last! Even though I loved every single second of our Australia trip, our last stop in Byron Bay was the cherry on top. I am not sure when or how Byron Bay became what it is, but it is a place that simply screams “Slow down,…
After lots of city vibes in Sydney and Melbourne, our trip through Australia led us up North to Queensland. They call it the place where the rainforest meets the reef. And it is true. As we were approaching the airport in Cairns, it seemed as if the lush dark green of the tropical forest transitioned…
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…
