Havana is overwhelming, lively, complex, mysterious, colorful, vibrant and the list goes on. I haven’t been to any other city as interesting or unique as this one. From the moment you leave the airport – which is an experience in itself – you will be enchanted by its charismatic appearance, its passionate personality and its […]

A brief look back on my trip to Cuba
Cuba is an interesting country, that we tourists – because at the end of the day that’s what we are – will never fully understand. Certainly not after a first visit and definitely not when we don’t speak fluent Spanish. Just accept it and have the time of your life! To be honest, traveling Cuba […]
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 […]

Sicily: from fiery volcano to movie scene
When thinking of Sicily picture idyllic villages, beautiful countryside and above all very very tasty food. Though the island has got that Italian romantic vibe, there’s a little roughness about it. It has got something mysterious. Not sure if it’s the ancient history, the spirit of Mount Etna or the presence of the Mafiosi. But […]
Why you should see Australia at least once
Australia isn’t on everyones bucket list. It wasn’t on mine at first either. Then why did I go? In 2013 I decided to go on my first solo trip. It soon became clear that Australia is one of the most easy going countries for first time female solo travelers. In addition, I have family living Down […]
