Dublin in a nutshell

Posted on Wednesday August 26th, 2020Wednesday August 26th, 2020by Simone

“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 […]

If I don’t include the countries I drove through with my parents when I was a little girl, I have visited 22 countries so far. That sounds like a lot but compared to the average digital nomad, I am just an amateur. Nevertheless, I’ve been lucky enough to be able to tick off a lot […]

Posted on Wednesday August 28th, 2019Wednesday August 26th, 2020by Simone
Sunset Camps Bay Cape Town South Africa

It is hard to tell what the coolest city in the world is, but Cape Town sure as hell comes close. From mountain views to white sandy beaches. From historical sights to a vibrant and colourful culture. From inspiring street art to culinary delights you can’t compete with. The mother city simply has it all. […]

Back To Nature adventure Sumatra Indonesia

Medan, the capitol of the second largest island of Indonesia. It’s where my 4 week adventure started last summer. Did you know that Sumatra is the fifth largest island in the world and that my great-grandfather was born there? Well, now you do. You probably already heard that the orangutan calls this island its home. […]

Roadtrip through Ireland’s 50 shades of green

Cliffs of Moher sunny day Ireland Europe

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 […]

Why you shouldn’t skip Jakarta

Old Batavia square Java Indonesia

Funny enough I could only find a few positive blogs about Jakarta when I was preparing for my trip. Most people seem to escape the city as soon as they set foot in the capitol. It would be too crowded, noisy and very dirty. Moreover, it had too little to offer. Boy, how nothing turned […]

Although I can not imagine that you would ever get enough of Havana, I do have to admit that Cuba is more than just its vibrant capitol city. You’re probably thinking about a white beach with clear blue water by now drinking coco loco’s all day. Yes, that is also Cuba but there is more. […]

Cuba: where to stay?

Cuban home stay casa particular Centro Habana

‘Mi casa es su casa’. In other words: long live the casa particulares. They’re the Cuban version of a bed & breakfast. Literally translated to ‘private homes’. That’s right! Spending the night at a locals house is an absolute must for a visit to the island. The service at most casas is exceptional. For an […]
