Guys, I recently visited Pompeii! As the city is on a lot of people's bucket list, I compiled the most useful tips from my research as well as personal experience for a visit at the City of Ashes.
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
As my last post about my Na Pali Coast experience in Hawaii received white a lot of feedback and questions about the hike, this post is all about 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!
California Love: Lizard's Mouth Trail
During out California road trip earlier this year we hiked the Lizard's Mouth Trail near Santa Barbara in the Los Padres National Forest. If you think a 101 road trip is all about the beaches you are absolutely wrong. Don't miss out on great opportunities a bit further in like the amazing hills and mountains of Santa Ynez!

Shark Swimming In Hawaii
Holy shit I swam with sharks! And it was my fault, actually. After getting an amazing trip to Hawaii for my birthday, I thought it was a very good idea to book a shark swimming activity for me and my boyfriend (what on earth was going on in my mind? That was the exact question my roommate at that time was asking me but somehow I still thought it was the best idea ever). And it was!
Epic Hike Along Kauai's Na Pali Coast
One of my other adventures during my Hawaii vacation earlier this year was a hike along the epic Na Pali Coast of Kauai. For an entire day I hiked the Kalalu Trail directly along the coast of Hawaii's "Garden Island" and it was definitely the most amazing trail I hiked so far. Naturally, this activity deserves its own post on here!
A Stay On Kauai - Hawaii Travel Diary
Hawaii's Garden Island is definitely worth a visit as it offers some of the most scenic views among the archipelago. That is the reason why Kauai has provided the backdrop of some serious Hollywood adventure movies. After already writing about my Oahu Travel Diary, I now want to tell you a bit more about my stay on the second island I visited during our Hawaii vacation this year. I know you've all been waiting for this.
Aloha, Oahu - Hawaii Travel Diary
It's almost that time of the year again so it's the perfect opportunity to tell you about my last birthday, for which I went to Hawaii. I lived as an expat in San Francisco at the time and there isn’t really a better place to take a trip to Hawaii from. During my trip, I stayed on two islands - Oahu and Kauai. This post is about the first part of my trip to the main island Oahu.
