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…
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…
After a week spent in beautiful Tulum, we decided to head further inland for an additional two days in Mexico. As picture-perfect as Tulum Beach, the food, the hotels and the scene is, it does feel like you are biking through a little bubble. Even though most of the hotels’ and restaurants’ employees are locals…
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…
If Montenegro hasn’t been on your radar up until now, then you are like me. But it is high time for an addition on your travel bucket list. To be honest, the recently-opened Chedi resort in the newly developed Lustica Bay (full hotel review coming soon) is to blame for getting me and my bikini…
Well, it looks like someone took a little vacation. That someone being me (no new post in 12 days, say what?!) and the vacation being NYC, The Hamptons + Montauk, followed by a bachelorette weekend in Amsterdam. Lots of play, some work (daily posts over on The Daily Dose – as the name would suggest) and a…
Just like every year, Coachella is taking over April and everyone’s Instagram feeds as we are currently between weekend 1 and 2 of the über-famous festival in the California desert. Even though I have personally never been (and will probably never go), I do have a major love affair with Palm Springs. Far beyond Coachella,…
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…
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…
