Checking Off The Bucketlist | Australia Day 8-9

Having spend a whole day relaxing and sailing at the Whitsunday's, it was time for another long day of driving. To make it a little more enjoyable, we took a break about halfway through and stopped at Billabong Sanctuary just outside Townsville. One of my have-to-do-things while in Australia, was to pet a kangaroo. So when we saw the sign at the side of the road, we had no other choice than to stop. 

East Coast Adventures | Australia Day 5-7

After the two day break on Fraser Island, we spend almost the whole next day in our Camper driving up the coast to Rockhampton. Arriving late in the afternoon, we set up on the camp site and took a stroll through town on the hunt for a place for dinner. Rockhampton is famous for it's meat, so we went for steaks. The food was good, though I can't remember the name of the restaurant.

Fraser Island Pt.2 | Australia Day 4

Day two on Fraser started with a rather long bus trip to the other side of the island. And then it was time to drive on the beach. The weather was beautiful and the sun glistened on the water. At that point I really wished we had rented a 4-wheeler that we could drive ourselves, because this must be so much fun. But it still was beautiful to enjoy from inside our bus.

Fraser Island Pt.1 | Australia Day 3

Welcome to Fraser Island! 

Early in the morning, even before the sun came out, we got on a bus to catch a ferry to go to the sand island - well that's a lie, the sun was out, but it felt as though it shouldn't because it was so early.

Arriving Down Under | Australia Day 1-2

So I'm back. Again. For about the millionth time. I know, and I'm not going to promise that it is for good this time, because I can't. But I've missed this space and I'm full of motivation to get back at it. So to get me started, I've decided to finally write up those posts about our family trip to Australia last summer. I know it's a while ago now, but I'm still loving the memories, and we took so many pictures, that I could probably fill a month's worth of blog posts with them. This way I at least can't use the 'don't-know-what-to-blog-about'-excuse for a while, ha!

City Trip to Prague | Part 2

After having seen everything there is to see in the Castle District we decided not to go back to the Old Town right away, since we wanted to go there with more time the next day. So we walked towards Petrin Hill, from where you have another amazing view over the city. Especially if you decide to climb Prague's very own mini version of the Eiffel Tower. We went to the top right in time for sunset. The view really is breathtaking. Check out this amazing shot including the city's top sights, Prague Castle on the left and Charles Bridge on the far right of the picture: 

City Trip to Prague | Part 1

Last week my boyfriend and I went on a 4-day trip to Prague. We hadn't been on holiday together so far this year and Prague had been on both our to-do list for a while, so it was a no-brainer.

Masca Gorge and Kayaking

In celebration of World Mental Health Day on October 10th, the Fundación En Pié organized a charity event to raise awareness and collect donations. A friend of mine here in La Laguna always takes part in these events and is friends with some of the founders of the organization, so we asked a few people and decided to come along. It is a good cause after all, but it was also a perfect opportunity to explore the island a little more and spend a great day outside.

Surf Lesson and Swimming With Turtles

You know those things you've always wanted to do but never came around to? Well, learning to surf is one of them for me. Last weekend I finally had my first surf lesson.

The Good Life - An Update

So after over a month in Tenerife, I'm finally finding the time and motivation to report on what's been going on and how life is on the island. 

Visiting Berlin - Berlin Wall and Currywurst

This is really late, but here is the second part of our Berlin trip (see the first one here). It's a lot of pictures again, so I am gonna keep the amount of text short and let the pictures speak for themselves.

Visiting Berlin - Friedrichsstadtpalast And Other Palaces

If you read my What I Got for Christmas post you might know that my boyfriend and I had planned a trip to Berlin sometime this year. And in early april it finally was time to get on the train and head towards the capital. We left early in the morning as it's a 5 and a half to 6 hours train ride and arrived shortly after noon. First thing we went to the hotel to check in and get rid of our stuff. We stayed at the Amedia Hotel which is located on the Kurfürstendamm. Each room represented a different country and ours was China. There was a huge picture of the chinese wall above our bed. 

My Year Of Travel 2013 (Part 3)

I'm sorry I've been a little absent but first there were exams to study for and write and then I was just lacking motivation to be quite honest. However, I'm back now and to get back on track I decided to start with something simple and do the third and final part of my travel experiences in 2013. 

My Year Of Travel 2013 (Part 2)

As January is slowly passing by and examination period is getting closer, I tend to distract myself from studying with daydreams of beautiful and warm places. So I decided to make better use of the time I spend away from my books and papers to write the second part of my 2013 travel series. You can find part 1 here.

Favourite Places Around The World

Skyline

Today, I thought I'd share some of my favourite places to be. Of course this list might change throughout my life, as I haven't seen the whole world yet, but those are just some places I love and would go back to every year if I could.

My Year Of Travel 2013 (Part 1)

Our route

I love to travel. There are thousand of beautiful places around the world worth visiting. Unfortunately I never get to travel as much as I'd like to, due to lack of time and money. Last year however I got to see a lot of different places, some I've been to before others for the first time. I loved every single trip and therefore thought I'd share some of my experiences and pictures with you.
