Cappadocia – a magical place or a tourist trap?

Cappadocia was the last stop on my one month trip and so I have already left Turkey as I am writing this. One of the most recognisable places in the world, due to the unique rock formations, Cappadocia and the town Göreme was on my…

Istanbul and the neighbourhoods – back here once again!

Istanbul and the neighbourhoods – back here once again!

I was back in Istanbul, the multicultural metropolis of Turkey. I think you see things differently the second time around. On my first trip to Istanbul, with my dad, I had an amazing time and really enjoyed exploring the city. There is lots to see…

Kaş and Kalkan – the prettiest beach towns in Turkey

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…

From 40° to 3° degrees – Spring in the Schwarzwald

When it is too hot in one country, it is time to return to another. And so, after over 5 months in Phuket, I was ready to enjoy Spring in Europe. I have been watching the weather forecast for weeks, and as soon as the…

The Wedding & the Party Boat

The Wedding & the Party Boat

My life in Phuket is pretty simple and casual and my wardrobe certainly reflects it. Alternating between a basic shorts/top look and a beach dress, there is no need for heels and pretty dresses here in Nai Harn. Except when you are invited to a…
