First, I have to say: Magdi and I already have some history with going on holidays together. So, as in the past, it was another weekday that involved one or the other drink when we decided to book a trip to Rome. However, it was also our first holiday of the year, kicking off another twelve…

For years, I had been dreaming of going to New York – especially during the Christmas season. Thus, after nearly two weeks in a warmer climate, I hopped on a red-eye flight from the West to the East Coast for one last stop in New York. Once I arrived at Newark Airport, I took the…

On the red-eye flight from Maui, I fell asleep on the plane and woke up right in time when we were approaching the airport in San Francisco. Once I got to the Samesun Hostel, I dropped off my luggage and walked around the neighborhood in the morning. As the hostel was located directly on Lombard Street, the…

I had always dreamed of going to Hawaii, but never thought I would even get to visit two of the Hawaiian islands on my trip to North America. Yet, after six beautiful days on the island of Oahu, Saturday morning, I took the probably shortest flight of my life to the neighboring island Maui, where…

Waiting for your summer holidays until the end of summer also has an advantage. Because, this way, summer lasts at least a little longer. And since Magdi and I have not taken a vacation together since our trip to Tel Aviv, it was about time to go on another trip together again. So after some research…

You might know that I love the Northern parts of Europe because I also lived in Denmark and Sweden for a while. However, I haven’t been up North for more than two years already, meaning I also haven’t seen some of my friends living there since then. Needless to say, I was looking forward to…
