For all of us, 2020 is coming to an end. I guess, like most of us, I have mixed feelings about the year that has passed. Please notice I said “mixed” feelings. Because not everything has been bad. And while I know we tend to focus on the negative aspects of all the happenings of this year, I wanted to pick something positive that occurred in every single month of this unusual year. So come along with me, on a trip to the (not so bad) past.
Read MoreSummer temperatures have finally hit Europe. And while it’s great to have 30+ degrees on a beach, in the cities, it’s something completely different. On days like these, there’s nothing better than a quick getaway from the city and the heat. So why not head to one of the prettiest lakes in Austria, and a very hidden one as well: the Obernberger See.
Read MoreWhen 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.
Read MoreBack 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.
Read MoreAs mentioned in previous blog posts, this summer will be mostly spent by exploring my own country Austria. One of the regions I have never properly visited so far is the Salzkammergut, located in Salzburg and Upper Austria. It’s famous for lot’s of lakes and pretty towns, so that’s exactly what I’ll be showing you today.
Read MoreIn the next few months, lots of us will be exploring their surroundings a bit more. A few weeks ago, I started doing so as well. Therefore, I went hiking, and on a little road trip to the surrounding regions and on these trips I found the most amazing places. In this blog post, I will show you some of the most impressive and record-breaking waterfalls you have to visit when exploring Austria and central Europe, including the largest in Europe and the broadest in the Eastern Alps. Ready for some outstanding records? Let’s start right away.
Read MoreWelcome back to the blog and to another blog post. As it seems, I’ll be getting to know my own country for the next few months, and I think that’s not necessarily bad. As I learned, Austria, and Tyrol especially, have lots of beautiful hidden corners that I’ve never seen before. So let me present one of these pretty places today: Lake Piburg, the ‘Piburger See’.
Read MoreWelcome 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.
Read MoreI 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.
Read MoreWelcome back on the blog and to another ‘Winter Sports in the Alps’ blog post. This week, we’re headed to another amazing Tyrolean valley: the Pitztal. Here, you can find great skiing areas, and one of them is the Hochzeiger, which I’ll bring you closer to today. Buckle up and let’s get right into it!
Read MoreWelcome back to the blog and to a new blog post. Once more, I’m focusing on a ski resort that is pretty close to Innsbruck, Austria. This time, we’re headed slightly south, to the Stubai valley, where a skiing area that is very popular among tourists and locals is located: the Schlick 2000 in Fulmpes.
Read MoreSometimes the villages that are surrounded by ski resorts are even more famous than the resort itself. That’s the case in Seefeld. Seefeld is widely known for its Nordic combination events, but there’s also a pretty nice ski resort and this time, I’ll tell you a bit more about it.
Read MoreFrom the ‘Jewel of the Alps’ to the ‘white roof’ of Innsbruck - we’ve had it all. So this week, it’s time to talk about the ‘Diamond of the Alps’. One look at that picture and you know where this name comes from, so let’s start right into talking about the ski resort of Obergurgl-Hochgurgl, hidden deep in the Ötztal valley.
Read MoreWelcome 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.
Read MoreWelcome 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.
Read MoreThere are various great ski resorts in Tyrol, and one of them is located just between the city of Innsbruck and the Italian border. As it is often overlooked, I’d say: grab your skis, snowboards, or whatever you use to enjoy the beautiful mountains and let’s start with all the fun in the white powder.
Read MoreWelcome 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.
Read MoreHappy 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.
