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 […]

Why Cape Town is such a cool city
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. […]
My Back To Nature adventure
Medan, the capitol of the second largest island of Indonesia. It’s where my 4 week adventure started last summer.

A brief look back on my trip to Cuba
