Tunisia – known for its beautiful beaches, desert back-country and ancient ruins has always been a popular tourist destination for Europeans. Many years ago I visited Tunisia during a class trip after my high school grad – you may guess it – as a bunch of teenagers our first priority was party, party, party and we hardly saw anything outside our resort fences… Too bad.…
Switzerland: Our “little” neighbour to the West is a country similar to ours yet different in many ways. I’m not going into detail about its history and politics although both are undoubtedly interesting and unique in the world. Together with my bf I was visiting some old family friends after I haven’t been to their place since more than 10 years. The weather god was with us and pleased us with summer-ish temperatures in mid-September!…
During the long weekend in August I visited a good friend I haven’t seen in a long time and on top of that, she lives near one of my favourite cities – Barcelona!

A trip to Italy is balm for the soul: This country has a certain magic whether it has to do with the food, the incredibly rich culture or simply their la dolce vita way of life.

Therefore I was excited to see the city with my grown-up eyes together with my beloved friend with…
My travel bug was bitting me hard after more than two months not leaving Vienna (almost felt like cabin fever) and I was very much looking forward to a little Easter weekend getaway with my bf 🙂 Having so many great options without necessarily boarding a plane, we picked Budapest for a beautiful yet affordable city experience. My last visit has been at least 5 years ago, so I was able to refresh my memories.…
