If it's your first time in San Francisco - you're in for a treat! Although, let’s be honest, if you are going to San Francisco, you’re always in for a treat. The city might be small (just around 500k people and some famous 44 square miles), but there is just so much to do and explore. From hiking to biking to eating and drinking. San Francisco is very cultural, artsy and liberal. Wanna walk naked down the streets? San Franciscans have seen it all. Just being in this city alone is an experience itself. Here are a couple of things to keep in mind when you are going for the first time.

Ahoi, Sailor! A Weekend In Hamburg
Ahoi, Ahoi! A great thing about living in Germany is that a lot of other cities are in close reach. Or uper close reach. So why not catch a train for the weekend and go to Hamburg if the ride is not even two hours? Exactly. Why not? Our main excuse was a concert of one of my favorite German artists who played in Hamburg that weekend.
Thoughts About Naples
Sunshine, pizza, wine, history, and la bella vita. Italy is a dream destination for many travelers. Instagram is full of Rome's great architecture, influencers posing in Positano, and tourists strolling through Venice. A city that doesn’t seem to rank high on many bucket lists is Naples - for a couple of reasons.
My Top 10 Things To Do In London
There's no place like London! It is one of the world's most visited cities and also one of my favorite places in Europe. It is marvellously cultured and when two of my friends from San Francisco told me they were going to London, I couldn't say no (I might have played a more crucial part in the decision about where to meet). Thus, I got to spend a couple of days in this amazing city and would now like to share my top 10 things to do in London (as there are so many!).

I already wrote about the Top 10 Things To Do In San Francisco a while ago, which listed the most famous tourist attractions in the city by the bay.

A Day At Stone
Craft beer in Germany is currently experiencing a boom - but compared to other countries - especially the US - it's just not quite yet there. If you are lucky enough to live in Berlin though you can still visit American breweries...okay one, you can visit one. In September 2016 Stone Brewing from San Diego opened their first European location in Mariendorf. Read about our visit at Stone Beer World in Berlin here!
Tips For Visiting Pompeii
City of Ashes - Pompeii City Guide
The ancient city of Pompeii in the Italian region of Campania is probably one of the most famous tourist attractions in the world. Even though I've heard a lot about it in history and also Latin lessons (yes, I actually studied Latin in high school), I've never made it to the ancient site until just recently!
Tips For Hiking The Kalalu Trail On Kauai

It is one of the things I would definitely recommend doing if you ever get the chance. as it was one of the best hiking experiences I've had so far. However, the trail can be dangerous and there are some things you want to know before you hit the trail. Here is my list of helpful tips for hiking the Kalalu Trail on Kauai - I wish I had known some of them before my jaunt along the coast!
Markthalle IX - Berlin’s Inside Street Food Market
I love street food and you would not believe how much excitement a good old food truck can evoke in me. A tiny disadvantage I often encounter is the seating problem, particularly when the food trucks don’t provide it and and you live in a place- say Berlin - that does not necessarily have the best weather for outdoor seating for half the year. Markthalle IX solves this exact problem while offering great high quality street food from basically all over the world.
Reasons Why Lake Tahoe Is My Favourite Lake
While growing up in Germany where access to the sea is quite limited (but yes - we do have a coast line indeed), growing up I spend a lot of time at different lakes instead. However, my favourite lake so far is Lake Tahoe! During my time in San Francisco I actually got to visit the area more than once (which is another plus for the city - Tahoe is just reeeeally close!). In this post I want to share why I love Lake Tahoe so much. Feel free to share your favourite lake in the comments!
