Basically I always wanted to do a year abroad. And I was overjoyed when a few months ago this dream became reality step by step. Choosing the destination country was, of course, one of the first things I looked into. Canada had long fascinated me and seemed to promise both good schools and breathtaking nature. It was also very important for me to learn English properly. read more

Palm trees on Hawaii

Hawaii is the 50. State of the USA and is often called "Aloha State. Spelled correctly: Hawai'i. On the small islands, the northern tip of the Polynesian Triangle, live people of different cultures and therefore also different religions.

Hawai'i is a state in the USA

We notice that quite clearly. At least in Honolulu. Surely there are still some places that make our dream vacation with South Seas feeling come true just as we know it from television. However, it is a misconception that Hawaii belongs to the South Seas, because geographically the two regions are a long way apart from each other. Nevertheless the influences are clear. But on the Hawaiian Islands street names are almost not set in English at all. Many terms have been preserved. Aloha! read more

Enchanted surreal stone formations, the mist lies gently over the meadows and one feels like in a fairy tale. Sounds like a discovery in a distant land? No, because you can experience all this in the nature park Teufelsschlucht in the south Eifel!

Sounds quite dangerous at first this Devil's Gorge. Located in the southern Eifel not so many tourists get lost here. At least not in winter. At times I even had a funny feeling in my stomach. No cell phone network, no people … but more about that later. read more

Work and Travel in France, Paris

With this article I would like to encourage you to do some Work and Travel in France. After the bad events yesterday in Nice, I almost didn't want to write and publish this article, but then I thought that I will do it anyway. now more than ever!

My dream trip through France

Since I've been studying French, I've really got a taste for France. On the one hand, to try out my language skills and on the other hand, to learn a new language. and on the other hand, because it is a great, diverse country. I really only know France from visits and vacations as a child and teenager, so now as an adult I've been wanting to explore France on my own for a long time. On my wish list for a trip around France is of course Paris, the Atlantic coast, the Alps and yes, Nice too, I've always wanted to go there and it stays that way. read more

We are spoiled. Spoiled by paradisiacal beaches where we bathed on our world trip. Gili Meno and Karimunjawa are hard to beat. Therefore, the island of Phu Quoc did not really knock our socks off. It is a beautiful island, where you can relax and swim, but unfortunately Phu Quoc has a garbage problem. And a construction problem. Everywhere new hotels are being built and destroy the charm of the island. read more

Travel Diary: Los Angeles Part I | USA Roadtrip

After three days in San Diego, which were unfortunately a bit disappointing, I went on to Los Angeles. To be honest, the city I had the lowest expectations for, although I can't say exactly why…

I knew LA was big, a lot of things were far apart, and I probably wouldn't get very far with my "we'll explore the whole city on foot" approach. Once arrived, we bring the car anyway directly to the airport and were from there with the subway further. And afterwards? First of all, putting the suitcases away, and then of course exploring the city! read more

Travel Diary: O'ahu | Hawaii Part 1

One week in Hawaii – O'ahu to be exact – was the highlight of the road trip through the western USA. After three weeks of spending at most three nights in one place, the prospect of a week in the same hotel was really tempting.

As much as I like to travel, I need a break from time to time. Especially in combination with the farewell from New York it was a bit much at some point. Hawaii and a one week break was just the right thing to do. Even though I had planned to do a lot, it was clear to me: on Hawaii I would first decelerate. read more
