Italy is one of the most beautiful countries to visit in Europe and quite popular on European Bucket Lists. Who wouldn’t get itchy feet when thinking about Cinque Terre, the canals of Venice, and don’t even get me started on Italian food. I love Italian food. Pizza, pasta, give me all the carbs, I feel no remorse and no reason to apologize. Here are some of my very own tips worth knowing before heading to Italy!
Once you have lived abroad and come back home to your country, you might start noticing some things you did not notice before you left. I find this a particularly odd experience, since when you live abroad, you tend to only miss the good things about your home country. Returning to Germany, I found there were some annoying things I did not notice before, but I also started to cherish some stuff that I used to take for granted.
Many people consider Berlin to be one of the most fascinating cities there are. Many young Germans think it is an exciting place you should have at least lived once in your life, with all its culture and many neighbourhoods. Many foreigners come to Berlin because it’s artsy, it’s cheap and you don’t need to speak any German in order to get along. I however, have struggled with this city and I think it will never be one of my favourite places to live. The city and I have a difficult relationship.
In my Ultimate Guide to Oktoberfest, you can find all the useful information you need when you visit Oktoberfest for the first time. In this post, I want to share my Oktoberfest Insider Tips with you, as it is that time of the year again!
Berlin has the reputation of being cheap. After all, the city’s slogan is ‘poor but sexy’. Given the city’s history, this is probably not surprising. Berlin was a divided city in the middle of East Germany - meaning part of Berlin belonged to West Germany, but you had to drive through East Germany to get there. Being surrounded by a big wall on all sides didn’t particularly make the city very attractive - thus it was cheap and attracted artists and all sorts of alternative folks. While this has definitely changed (today, Berlin is one of Europe’s hot spots), it is still comparably cheap and there are tons of things you can do for free.
Salzburg for most Germans I would say, is a nice Austrian city conveniently located right across the border so perfect for a good day trip. Before going there I was actually not aware that it was such a famous location for The Sound of Music, too (I was thinking more…Mozart). However, you can visit many of the movie locations fairly easy so I would definitely recommend to watch the movie and then go on a nice movie location hunt once you are there. The locations are absolutely stunning, too, so definitely worth a visit!
It's really been time for another travel diary and since I am basically in love with writing about London, I want to share my travel diary with you guys! After all, it has been a vacation I was really looking forward to. Not only because I really love London, but also because I got the chance to spend time with some of my favorite people!
I already wrote a post about why Lake Tahoe is my favorite lake ever. In this post I want to share some tips that you might want to keep in mind when visiting this area, as I was probably quite unprepared when visiting Lake Tahoe for the first time. I since have been a few more times and always try to keep below things in mind.
Y'all know that I am a big fan of this quote and how wonderful is it that on certain occasions you can have both at the same time! When in London you certainly can't miss a full on afternoon tea ceremony and there is no better place for that. As I absolutely needed to go, it just so happened that it was my friend's birthday a couple of weeks earlier and what's a better birthday gift than an afternoon tea at Fortnum & Mason?
Did you know I'm a huge Harry Potter fan? MASSIVE actually. Well, you probably did but it can't hurt to mention it again, does it? So after being MIA for a couple of months (which can happen, if you move countries), it can’t hurt to come back with a solid Harry Potter post. As soon as I booked my trip to London a while back I also set up a date to visit the Warner Bros. Harry Potter Studios and casually forced all my friends to come with me, too (#skills). I immediately roamed the internet in search for helpful tips, tricks and everything else there was to know. If you find yourself in the same boat, this post is just for you!
