Lucerne and Pilatus – A place made of Swiss dreams

September 29, 2016
Lucerne Pilatus

Oh Lucerne, you enchanting little town in Central Switzerland: Set between the beautiful Vierwaldstättersee and iconic Mount Pilatus – could I ask for a more picturesque setting? I’d be foolish if I did because I hardly think that’s possible. May I introduce you Lucerne’s most famous landmarks: The wooden bridge Kapellbrücke with its water tower and Mount Pilatus in the background… During a stroll through town you’ll encounter some grand buildings and lovely decorated houses too… Due to the lack of time and equipment (and…

(Late) summer vibes in Zurich

September 23, 2016
Lake Zurich

Switzerland: Our “little” neighbour to the West is a country similar to ours yet different in many ways. I’m not going into detail about its history and politics although both are undoubtedly interesting and unique in the world. Together with my bf I was visiting some old family friends after I haven’t been to their place since more than 10 years. The weather god was with us and pleased us with summer-ish temperatures in mid-September!…

I arrived late in the evening, decided to stay in the city the first night and chose a budget-friendly hostel… Well that night I found out that I’m getting too old for this type of accommodation because while I felt like I was the only one who seriously was…

Dreamy castles by the sea – Miramare and Duino

July 14, 2016

A trip to Trieste would be incomplete without visiting some of the most stunning landmarks of the area, if not the whole province of Friuli Venezia Giulia: The beautiful coastline has inspired emperors and artists alike, who chose to spend their time frequently near the healing sea breeze. As I’m not a pro with history I’ll spare you with too many details (which can be read on wiki anyway) and take you on a virtual tour through some amazing castles by the…

La dolce vita triestina

June 22, 2016
What to do in Trieste

A trip to Italy is balm for the soul: This country has a certain magic whether it has to do with the food, the incredibly rich culture or simply their la dolce vita way of life. About Trieste I have a lot of childhood memories (thanks to some relatives who live there) – however I didn’t come back for many many years. Therefore I was excited to see the city with my grown-up eyes together with my beloved friend with…

Best of Budapest & Giveaway

April 11, 2016
Budapest travel blog

My travel bug was bitting me hard after more than two months not leaving Vienna (almost felt like cabin fever) and I was very much looking forward to a little Easter weekend getaway with my bf 🙂 Having so many great options without necessarily boarding a plane, we picked Budapest for a beautiful yet affordable city experience. My last visit has been at least 5 years ago, so I was able to refresh my memories.…
