Manuel Antonio, where flora meets fauna
After some surfing, sun, and fun in Santa Teresa, the next stop on my tour of Costa Rica took me to Manuel Antonio. On Sunday, after meeting Kathi, Sophie, and Hannah in Cobano, we drove to Paquera and took the ferry to Puntarenas. From there, it was another 2.5 hours to Manuel Antonio, and it just wouldn’t…

Surfing, sun & fun in Santa Teresa
As mentioned earlier, the trip to Santa Teresa was one hell of a ride. And here’s the short version of why: it all started with us – Kathi, Sophie, Rieke, and I – taking a different route than Google Maps suggested. While we first got stuck in a traffic jam due to construction, we again…

Celebrating 27 in London
I know, „London is always a good idea“ might sound like a cheesy quote you’d read on Instagram, but to be honest, it’s true. That’s probably also the reason why I’m always excited to go back to the British capital. And this time, believe it or not, already for the fifth time. But what can…

Long night outs and a bit of luxury in Budapest
Budapest is only 2.5 hours from Vienna by train and thus the perfect destination for a short getaway over the weekend. Therefore, Friday after work, Melissa and I hopped on the train at Vienna Main Station and arrived at the Hungarian capital in the evening. For the weekend, we stayed at the 5* Matild Palace –…

Tis the season in New York
For years, I had been dreaming about going to New York and preferably during the Christmas season. So, that’s what I did at the end of my trip across North America. After spending about two weeks in a warmer climate, I went back to colder temperatures and hopped on a red-eye flight from the West…
