After a long and exhausting season of work, my boyfriend and I visited the Greek island of Kos for a much needed break. This was my very first time to Greece and I can definitely say the landscapes, people, food and crystalline sea captured my heart. Read More ›
Experiences
Journey Around China
My journey around China was a hectic but thrilling experience. In a short 3 weeks I managed to visit a several places in this truly fascinating and diverse country. I began with Beijing, a city full of character and history. I saw the incredible Forbidden City—once completely inaccessible to the public—as well as the beautiful Summer Palace and (probably my favorite place in Beijing) the Temple of Heaven. The Temple of Heaven offers you a chance to watch locals going about their everyday life. Men crowd round to watch and play Mahjong, women sew together, groups sing, practice Tai Chi, and take part in water calligraphy. It is truly fascinating. Read More ›

Three Weeks in Northern India
I spent many months planning an itinerary, booking trains and hotels, and generally trying to perfect my three-week trip to North India.

India, being so huge, inspiring and diverse, is not a place where one can do everything in three weeks. With this in mind, I decided to focus my time mainly in Rajasthan, a region full of old forts and palaces, teaming with colorful arts and crafts, delicious food and stunning views. Read More ›
Masai Mara Game Reserve of Kenya
Having gone on safari in South Africa last year, I was instantly struck with the safari bug. Wanting to take our experiences to the next level, my wife and I researched where in Africa we could do just that. We kept coming back to the Masai Mara in Kenya and planned a trip to visit at the end of September to see the infamous Great Migration. Read More ›
