I’m still raving about the beaches from our Mexico trip: The soft white sand and turquoise water fulfilled all our Caribbean dreams. Once you see them you’re not questioning anymore why Cancún and the Riviera Maya (the stretch between Playa del Carmen and Tulum) have become such popular tourist destinations. Even during high season – while highly frequented – we found the beaches serene and peaceful – and incredibly clean!…
I looove Mexican food, especially tacos in all variations – fish, meat, vegetarian – I want it all! I admit, NYC spoils you pretty much with cheap, good tacos widely available, but I saved my hunger for our trip to Mexico. We had our base in Playa del Carmen which is not exactly known to have the best Mexican food, most likely “thanks” to the millions of visitors that flock in every year.…
While we managed to move to a new apartment and travel to 3 countries in the past 5 weeks, my blog was on mute. But I’m still around and I’m happy to finally share my little Christmas getaway in Mexico with you 😀 I was super excited to have my first experience with this country.

Even if you only have half a day off, it’s easy to venture out and catch a fresh breeze in the mountains,…
The hills are alive…. If you’re not from Austria, you might be surprised that a majority of my fellow citizens (and myself) never have seen The Sound of Music (am I missing out anything?) Nevertheless I still can tell you quite something about Salzburg, which – just like Mozart – is my birth town (and that’s the only thing we both have in common!) – and coincidentally this article comes out just before my birthday 😉 I don’t know why it…
I know I’ve showed you a lot of our Northwest road trip in the last couple of weeks, and yet there was still material left to go through. I promise, this is the last post but it’s close to my heart, because it tells all the great stories a road trip should consist: The planned and spontaneous stops along the road! Wherever and whenever you’re driving for many hours, it’s always important to keep your eyes open for the wild,…
