Buongiorno Italia! Verona - The City of Romance
When it’s about travelling to Italy, most people immediately think of Rome, Venice or Florence. But there’s a city in the north of Italy that is at least equally as picturesque and romantic as the others are: Verona. And today, I’ll tell you all about this beautiful place on earth! If you’re from Central Europe, heading down to Southern Italy, you pass by Verona on the highway. When spending time at the Lago Di Garda, Verona is just a few minutes from there. Therefore, it’s really easy to access and definitely worth a pit stop, a day trip or even a few days if you’d like to explore it in more detail.
Exploring Seoul, South Korea - 1 Week Itinerary
Back in September 2019, I went on to visit a friend who was studying abroad in Korea. What’s a better reason to travel overseas than to visit one of your best friends? I decided to spend a whole week in Seoul and got to explore the South Korean capital in a lot of detail. Today, I will tell you about the best places to see there.
Ciao Lago di Garda: Sirmione, Italy
Welcome back to the blog. A lot has been going on worldwide in the last few months. Today, I want to focus on a country that has been hit hard by the crisis: Italy. People all over the world love visiting the world, and as soon as it is safe again to travel there, Italy is one of the countries that needs tourism the most. Of course, I am not encouraging you to go there if it’s not safe.
Exploring Scotland: Road Trip on the Isle of Skye
Welcome back to the blog and to another blog post to distract you from the current situation and to keep you dreaming and motivated to explore this beautiful world as soon as this nightmare is over. This time, I’ll tell you about a beautiful place up north in Scotland: the Isle of Skye.
Visiting the DMZ - The Korean Demilitarized Zone
I travel a lot. And I love to share my travels. But few travels got so much response as my trip to the DMZ when I visited Seoul in September. I received lots of messages of people asking me about my trip and wanting me to share my experiences. It was one of the blog posts that took me like forever to write, and I hope this way I can help anyone of you who is interested in visiting this extraordinary place.
A Weekend In Dublin, Ireland
Welcome back to the blog. As I told you last time, I’m not working chronologically on all the blog posts I need to catch up on, but this week I’ll tell you about one more weekend trip I made this winter. I’m talking about my trip to Dublin with a good friend, just before Christmas.
Getting To Know Scandinavia: København, Danmark
Welcome back to the blog, and I hope you all started very good into this new year. A new year means changes, and just in time, I was able to finish the series about the road trip through the US. If you were wondering what would follow after this series, don’t worry, there are lots of travels I haven’t written about yet. This blog posts won’t be published in any specific order, and therefore I’ll start with one of my favourite travels of the year: Copenhagen.
Seattle: The Emerald City
Welcome back to the blog! I hope you all had fun during Christmas, and it’s great to have you back here. I hope you are ready for the final blog post about my big road trip through the west of the US. Even writing those words feels weird, but all good things come to an end. This last blog post will be all about my favourite US city: Seattle.
Yellowstone National Park: The Oldest National Park In The World
Happy Friday everybody and welcome back to the blog! Last week, I told you everything about the places I visited in Utah, and slowly the USA road trip series is coming to an end. But before it does, there are still blog posts waiting for you, and this week it’s all about Yellowstone National Park.
Utah: National Parks, The Great Salt Lake & More
Happy Friday and welcome back to the blog! Last week ended with my trip through the Monument Valley, so now we’re heading on north, so let’s start with getting right back into the topic. Welcome to this week’s US state: Utah!
Arizona: More Than The Grand Canyon State
Welcome back to the blog and welcome to a new blog post. Last week I told you all about Las Vegas, and I was talking a lot about all the trips you can make from Vegas. Some of these trips were to locations in Arizona, that’s why this blog post is all about them, and everything else I saw when I started exploring this US state. After leaving Vegas, I was travelling alone.
Nevada: Las Vegas, Valley of Fire, Nelson & More
There are few places in the world you immediately recognize when seeing certain pictures. Las Vegas is definitely one of them. I mean, are there other cities with a sign this big and this famous? So, as you understood by now, today it is all about Las Vegas and its surroundings. I know Vegas is not that high on places people want to visit, so I’ll try to show you why I truly enjoyed my stay and that there’s way more to Sin City than just gambling and casinos.
Death Valley National Park – The Hottest And Lowest Place In The US
Last week, I was talking to you about Los Angeles, and this week I’m taking you from California to Nevada, or better said, to the Death Valley National Park which is partially located in California, partly in Nevada. We are now at the beginning of week 3 of the 5-week long road trip, so let’s get right into this one before heading to Las Vegas in the next blog post.
Exploring the City of Angels: Los Angeles & the Universal Studios Hollywood
Welcome back on the blog, and I hope you are ready for a new blog post. The last weeks I was already talking a lot about California and famous places in this US state, this week, I focus on the most famous city in California, maybe even the most famous one in the United States: Los Angeles. LA and Hollywood are dream destinations for lots of people, but I am not one of them, and so I’ll share with you not only the places I visited but also my personal opinion.
Yosemite National Park – The Green Lung of California
In the last blog post, I was talking to you about San Francisco, so now it’s time to tell you everything about the following stop on the road trip: Yosemite National Park. While another blog post about all the key facts of visiting several national parks will follow later on, today, I’ll focus on the best spots in this Californian national park.
48 Hours in San Francisco: Hills, Bridges & Cable Cars
In last week’s blog post, I covered the first few places we’ve been to in California. The post ended with us leaving Napa Valley, and I’m pretty sure you can guess where we headed to next? Yep, that’s right, San Francisco. This city is hyped up like no other on the west coast, so be prepared for our adventures there and my – personal – opinion on the town.
Northern California: From Redwoods To Vineyards
Happy Friday and hopefully you are as ready for this blog post as you are for the weekend. Last week I told you as much as possible about Oregon, my all-time favourite US state, this week we’re headed on to California. As you might have noticed, these blog posts are getting longer and longer along the road trip, so grab a cup of tea or coffee and let’s get right into it.
Forests, Beaches, Cliffs & Seals: Mt. Saint Helens & Oregon
Welcome back on the blog and welcome to a new blog post. As you might have noticed, this blog post did not go live on Thursday but on Friday and from now on it will remain this way. But now let’s head right into the topic and pick up where we left last week. In the previous blog post, I told you everything about Whale Watching near the San Juan Islands, but of course, this was not the only thing on the itinerary of the road trip regarding Washington, and I’ll tell you everything about the most beautiful places in Oregon as well.
Whale Watching Near The San Juan Islands
Welcome back, and after last weeks introduction into the whole road trip series, I hope you are ready for some content on the actual trip. The first experience I want to tell you about is the whale watching trip we made at the San Juan Islands. So buckle up and let’s get right into this!
Renting A Car In The United States As A European
Welcome back to the blog after a little “summer break”. It lasted a bit longer than I initially expected it to, but with all the travels, there was not as much time left as I anticipated. But now, summer is (nearly) over, and I’m ready to start again. The list of blog posts in the making is long, as is the list of things I experienced this summer, so I decided to use my time waiting for my flight to depart from Seoul, South Korea to bring me home and start right away. The biggest tip of this summer – and my life so far! – was undoubtedly the road trip through Western America. I made lots of experiences, and I value them all, good and bad. It was the first time I ever rented a car abroad (despite one time in Italy, but that was only for a few hours, so it does not really count) and there are a few things I noticed in the US.
