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.

Japan: Konichiwa Tokyo!

We’re so glad you loved Sophie’s Hawaii-series, so now it’s my turn to tell you all about what, most definitely, can be considered the best trip of my life – so far. On 17th of July 2017 one of my closest friends and I boarded a plane in Munich (because, just like we have already told you, it’s the closest bigger airport to Innsbruck); that’s the beginning of an an 18-hour-long journey, with a quick-stop in Abu Dhabi, that would take us to Tokyo Narita. We have both travelled a lot in our lives and can assure you: Japan’s border control has to be one of the nicest and quickest you’ll ever come across.
