A travel blog for mobile families

All articles in: Travel Reminder

Travelling forms. Especially self-knowledge. We are travel enthusiasts.

Although this post contains a hotel tip, but actually is about that you never learn while traveling. Especially not about myself. I have to get a bit out of it: when I finished my studies, I traveled alone to Thailand for four weeks. Ronald and I had just met three months earlier, but the tour was booked and I wanted to leave before I got my first real job. I spent a few days on my own in Bangkok, then joined a small tour group. Lots of young people from England, New Zealand, Australia and me. Quite uninhabited as I was back then, this station wagon – with a guide and an organized tour, but public transport – seemed to be a good solution, individual but not lonely. To shorten the story: after 10 days I decided to get out on Ko Samui, to book a hotel with bathroom and air conditioning and to feel clean and well rested. Even then, I learned that I’m not a hardcore backpacker, who finds himself everywhere …

Mom alone in Vancouver

Great events are on the horizon. Those to whom I used to look casually and who now feel somehow alien. I will travel. Which happens more often. Feeling we have spent the last few weeks as a single parent. And in turns. Ronald and I each handed over a suitcase of dirty laundry before the other one set off again. The whole trip will peak in April as I fly to Vancouver for the Canada Photo Convention for a week. Alone. So without a man who prints out all the documents, sorted, looking for train connections, checks flights, weighs suitcases. After all, he has booked the hotel for me. What you get used to when traveling together. My area of ​​responsibility extends i.d.R. about packed suitcases, surprise toys for the flight, food on the way, medicines, diapers, etc. The man is responsible for the technical organization: all search and book and the cheapest price. So I’m even allowed to fly Lufthansa this time! Well, and the next big trip, i. big in the sense of far away, I will compete alone. …

Please help me: thoughts about the travel photography and a few impressions from Istanbul

At the moment I am preparing intensively for the workshop “Simply Better Holiday Pictures”, which I will give for the first time in the middle of November. So many of my clients had asked me about it, so I thought, why not? A really practical beginner workshop for those who finally want to be able to handle their SLR camera and want beautiful holiday photos. Anyway, I dig through my archive and my thoughts revolve around what it’s like when you’re on vacation with the camera on the road. What “problems” or better challenges does a beginner really have? I mean well to remember my first attempts, as a self-taught you fight through pretty much, reads a lot and tries out. Some take it quickly, others take forever, but the joy of taking pictures has always been a part of me. Because I am more of a practical person and that does not feel so artistic, I am also interested in giving you practical instructions. First of the camera in the hand understand what which switch is there and what this …

Cuckoo, cuckoo’s calling from the living room. The thing with the holiday souvenirs.

Every hour, except when it’s dark, it rings in our living room. Happy Bach babble sounds and a lovely bird’s voice announced that a piece of time has passed again. We now have a cuckoo clock. A blue one. If someone told me that, I would probably think that his own bird probably was not enough. To explain: we are more Scandinavian. A lot of white, gray, a bit of natural wood, here and there a metallic swab or pale blue eye-catcher. And that’s exactly why I saw this little blue clock in the witch-hole mill in the Black Forest in the eye. Or maybe I wanted to be as great as the hip stylists of the living periodicals who ‘populate their flat with finds of travel’. No idea. But now I love that thing, because it sounds really nice and full of home. Even Miss Ida has learned the word cuckoo very quickly and imitates the Getrallert amazingly well. Well, she hangs between prints, maps and an old California menu on the wall above the dresser …

Remember # 1: Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia 2009

One of my favorite travel blogs is the Planet Hibbel. The Hibbel family is traveling the same way we do – in the attitude of traveling with children and in spontaneity, uh, planning openness. Or something like that. Especially my calendar is planned in the summer over a year in advance because of the weddings, but that does not mean that we plan the trip always long and even book. The flight for the second parental leave we had booked four weeks before … But no matter, so far, have always worked and too often we have a goal in mind and then land for different reasons completely different. Ms. Hibbel is similar and that’s why she called for the blog parade, in which one should name his most beautiful journey. Superlatives are always difficult. I can not name the ‘most beautiful journey’ either, but one that has remained in our memory for a very long and intense time is our tour of Peru & Bolivia 2009. We were on the road for almost four weeks. Without children, we only thought about it afterwards. We were in Lima, in Cousco, …

welcome

Nice that you are here! We are Katja, Ronald, Anton & Ida and we like to travel.
