Hello Darlings,

Blue skies, sunny days and warm waters for my Florida beach vacation! I am staying at a resort near Tallahassee Florida at a place called Alligator Point.

The thing about…

Da stehe ich nun um 23.35 Uhr auf dem Bahnhof in Neumünster. Einige Reisende haben sich – wie ich – hierher verirrt und warten auf den CityNightLine, dem Nachtzug der Deutschen Bahn. Mein Ziel ist Prag, mein Bett der Schlafplatz Nr. 21

When visiting a new city, one of the best things to have in your repertoire is the info of locals and people who know the place like the back of their hand to give you the low down on the best bars and restaurants to go for the vibe, cheapest happy hour, best view, least people… etc.

Here's 12 really great bars to visit for amazing rooftop views, quirky angels abseiling up wine racks to get your bottle and a groovy harbourside vibe to hang out.

My crazy May started with Berlin and after a day in Italy it kept spending some days in a cold but beautiful Sweden. Thanks to a very cheap flight I had a chance with a friend to see again but with a cold but sunny weather Stockholm but we also had time to visit Uppsala, nice city nearby Stockholm. So let's start our trip…

Continuing on our journey down the
Garden Route, I thought that for those not au fait with the route, I should perhaps first expand a little on the area before letting you into my next secret find.

The Garden Route in the Western Cape is one of the most scenic routes in the country and a main tourist attraction.  If you had been one of my international clients, visiting South Africa, I would have definitely recommended that, had you the time, you explore this region…

Robert Nesta Marley sure came from humble surrounds in Nine Mile, Jamaica. There’s still no running water in the buildings around here, the locals all pile over to the reservoir with buckets and the dreadlocked one lies entombed in a mausoleum on his former back yard. There is pretty much nothing else here, but still pilgrims come to contemplate life – his and theirs – and smoke dope.

Here's my …

In 1927, aged just 23 years old, a beautiful young woman, my grandmother, boarded a boat to China. How can I call myself an intrepid traveller when compared to her?

Today when we plan our travels we have superb television documentaries to watch, wonderfully detailed and colourful guide books to study and a never ending amount of information at out finger tips on the internet telling us all about our chosen destinations. In contrast, my grandmother's prior knowledge of China would have…

I was lost… Surely, I was lost… I was trying to cross the dense forest of mountain Parnon, at the northwestern slopes of the village Kosmas, but … something was going wrong. The dirt roads did not agree either with my map or with my old GPS. I was circling, and circling. And it was getting dark……

There are many ways to experience and travel the World. Some travel with friends, some with a mate, and then there are those who choose to take on the World solo.

Love your PARENTS. We are so busy growing up, we often forget that they're growing old.

When I found this quotation circulating in Facebook, it hit me like a ton of brick. I was guilty.

Not that I don’t love my parents, my Mom, in particular (my Dad is a totally different story). I was just busy living my life, working and raising my son that my Mom quickly…

If you are travelling to Amsterdam, visiting Amersfoort is easy, it is  a 20-30 minute train ride from the  main station in Amsterdam. If you are more…

Montreal is a stunning , dynamic city. The city itself is a mixture of old and new architecture, art and culture. This is truly one of my favorite Canadian cities! I posted other pictures of this area the other day which you can see …

Please enjoy. This was a fantastic surprise for those of us on TOUR #!

The tourism board of Vienna started a great new campaign that brings historical figures from the very grave to a lively Facebook group.  

With Viennese charm, wit, and a good dose of imagination, empress Sisi chats with Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Freud and other famous celebraties. This all might sound weird at first, but it's lots of fun if you join the conversation (simply start commenting). And - even for locals - lot's to learn in terms of history.…
