Because life gives you different opportunities
It has already been a busy year, filled with lots of travel and completed trips. One of my favourites to remember for this year, however, will definitely be spending springtime in Paris with my cousins. This trip had been planned months in advance, back in…
Things have been a little quieter on the travel front lately, as I’ve settled into the beautiful Côte d’Azur hinterland during a rainy week. Wondering where that is? It’s the inland region just beyond the glitz of Cannes and Nice, away from the Mediterranean coast.…
Here I am again, back in Altea after almost exactly five years. I left this charming town during the pandemic (you can read about that in my earlier blog post here), and now I’ve returned, hiking the Penyal d’Ifac once again. Altea, along with its…
I had read about the Montserrat Monastery even before my trip to Andorra. However, I wasn’t sure I could be bothered stopping there. Until I saw the actual mountains while relaxing at Hotel Mon Sant Benet. They looked so dramatic, rising seemingly out of nowhere…
From the French Monastery to the Spanish Monastery, I’ve been driving a lot over the past few days. Leaving Cannes and St Tropez behind, I made it all the way to Aix-en-Provence to spend a night at a French Monastery, just before visiting Andorra, a…
Hello from the beautiful Mediterranean Riviera and Cannes. Leaving Lake Como behind, I made a quick stop in Milan for some shopping (although I didn’t buy anything), before heading towards the Italian Riviera. Although I visited Cinque Terre last year (read more here), I had…
It was time for a road trip once again. Back in Europe, and with spring clearly in the air, even if the mornings still had a bit of a chill, I made the most of those first days with some hiking and cycling. It was…
I can hardly believe I’m writing this from the Maldives! I never imagined I’d make it here, but when my friend spontaneously suggested booking a flight (who knew it’s only a 4.5-hour trip from Bangkok?), I couldn’t resist. Of course, if you’re going to experience…
There is something about Brisbane for me that always feels like coming home. And when I say ‘coming home‘, I mean it. I lived here for 13 years! I always look forward to seeing my friends of course. But there is also something about Brisbane that…
Hello from New York City! This is certainly the most exciting trip I have done for a long time. New York has been on my list to visit for many years and after two canceled trips, I am finally here. I was a little bit…
When I started this Europe trip one month ago, I had little intention of going to Greece, let alone the capital Athens. But here I am. I had amazing 24 hours in Athens City, although many have told me to avoid it. Yes, it is…
Where Antalya is my favourite coastal city of Turkey, Kaş is my favourite seaside city. Or should I say town? As it is much smaller than Antalya. I have seen quite a bit of Turkey by now, and Kaş and Kalkan are definitely the prettiest…
