More than one and a half years passed by that I set foot on a plane. Oh, how much have I missed this feeling of excitement and joy to be able to just board a plane and go somewhere. And so I just decided to do it. It was about time that I got away…
The Mosel wine region: 2 Blondes on tour surrounded by castles and vineyards
Welcome to the Mosel region: Where wine is a cultural asset! The more I traveled abroad, the more I learned to also appreciate the beautiful sights we have within Germany. All the great landscapes and places that we have here are now particularly striking to me. Last week I took Big Berta and a very…
Bavaria & Austria
At the start of the month my twin and I set off on a roadtrip to pick up our sister in Switzerland who was moving back home. On our way to Switzerland my twin and I made a stop in Munich to visit a friend and initially planned on spending the first proper night in…
From car to camper
A few weeks ago I decided to start my own little DIY project and bought a combi vehicle (Renault Kangoo), named it Big Berta and transformed it from a normal street car into a 5-minute set up ready to use for camping. Why I decided to buy a combi vehicle rather than an actual van…
Project Mini Camper
Now that I had decided that I will most likely stay in Europe/Germany for the next year or two, it was as pretty soon clear that I needed to get my hands on my own four wheels again. While a few weeks ago I looked for a cheap, small run around car things turned out…

After the two weeks isolation due to the flight from Brisbane from Melbourne,…
Brisbane & Noosa
Now that I have so much time on my hands, I figured it would be a good idea to retreat and backtrack to my arrival and my first few weeks in Australia. First of all, Australia wasn’t actually meant to be my destination at this point. After my trip to Russia, I had a flight…
Living in Australia during Covid19
Australia is closing, but I’m not going home. Three weeks ago I was hanging out on the beach in the still relaxed Australia, when back at home they were slowly implementing a lockdown in terms of a curfew-threat. I was surrounded by fellow travelers, some like me, hadn’t given the Covid Situation much thought; others…
Traveling across Russia by train
Covering a distance of 9,289 km, the Trans Siberian Railway Network happens to be the longest railway network in the world ever – bridging the gap between Moscow and the east ends of Russia. While you travel on the Trans-Siberian or Trans-Mongolian Railway you will pass 6 time zones, transverse taiga, and tundra in Russia, grasslands,…
