We embarked on our 10 days (9 nights) cruise – the first time on a cruise for us! – from Trieste to Istanbul (and back) with hopes of a leisure vacation with interesting stops. And we got exactly that. We enjoyed our time on the ship and the great food with a variety of choices. Especially the evening 3-course […]

Mini guide to Porto for foodies

Although our trip to Porto was mainly staying in our apartment because my daughter Gaja got sick, we still had the opportunity to do one of my favourite things while travelling: get to know the local cuisine. We had the pleasure to eat some delicious typical Portuguese food and some restaurants will forever stay in […]
10 days in Ireland: the perfect road trip itinerary

All shades of green really come alive in Ireland. And there is something calming and magical about it, especially when the sun comes out and plays with the shades. Of course, having all the green sites usually means also having all the rain, sometimes also fog and all shades of grey. But if you come […]

La dolce vita in Trento and Lake Garda

Colourful city, beautiful green lake, aperitivo, pasta and gelato – perfect combination for amazing holidays in Italy. This past summer we found la dolce vita when we spent a week in Trento and around Lake Garda. I love holidays where I can combine exploring a city and then relax at the beach. Trento is great […]

My 5 favourite day trips in Slovenia this year

Bariloche: a taste of Patagonia for non-hikers

It’s been five years since my first overseas solo trip to the south of South America. But my mind still goes back to those special travel memories. One of my favourite stops on the trip was definitely San Carlos de Bariloche in Argentina. After 19 hours on overnight bus I was greeted to Patagonia with […]
My favourite 5 things to see in Tashkent

Uzbekistan’s capital Tashkent is the economic and cultural center of the country. It has an interesting mix of traditional Islamic, Soviet and contemporary architecture, with wast green parks. Russians conquered this area already in the second half of the 19th century and stayed until 1991 when Uzbekistan declared independence. In times of the Soviet Union […]
5 Austrian cities to visit in Christmas time

As the whole 2020, also the end of the year is pretty different than we are used to. My December usually included visiting as many Christmas markets as I could. I just love strolling decorated cities in Slovenia and neighbouring countries and trying all the best festive food. And although this year the only city […]
