“There’s the Irish and then there’s the Dubs.” There’s a difference, right? I have been to Ireland many times but never visited the capital before. So that December back in 2017 we decided to fly back from Dublin after celebrating Christmas with our family from County Kerry for the umpteenth time. And guess what? Dubs […]
Europe
Roadtrip through Ireland’s 50 shades of green
I wouldn’t particularly visit Ireland because of its beautiful weather or its culinary delights, but I do encourage you to go anyway. Why? The country is incredibly beautiful and the people are super nice. In fact, they might just be the most hospitable and sociable people of all of Europe. And yes, the whiskey and […]
Edinburgh in 48 hours
You can’t go to Edinburgh without a visit to the castle. Well actually you can. It’s a beautiful building for sure but way too crowded for my liking. Luckily Edinburgh has more than just a beautiful castle. A few weeks back I flew to the Scottisch capital for a hen party and decided to add […]
Spend a weekend in Praque like a local
So you arrived in Prague. You just picked up a glimpse of that famous clock and visited Prague Castle. Both very beautiful but where did all those other people come from?

As one of the oldest cities in Europe, Lisbon has a rich history. But the city is more than just beautiful old buildings and artworks. Lisbon was built on seven hills and divided into several districts, each with their own character and appearance. This makes for some stunning views and atmospheric streets and squares. Lisbon […]
Amsterdam is quite a nice city
For a dutch girl living in Rotterdam that’s pretty hard to admit. Rotterdam and Amsterdam are like Melbourne and Sydney. It’s a thing! However that’s not the reason why I don’t visit the capital of The Netherlands very often. To travel to Amsterdam takes me a lot of time and money. Driving through the city […]
When in Paris..
Paris, the city of love. A place that you must visit at some point in your life. Yet it seems that not everyone who visits automaticly falls in love with it. That’s too bad. The French – and Parisians in particular – are known to be arrogant and unfriendly. In addition one does not speak […]
