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…

There is something about crossing an entire continent by rail that had been on my do-to-list for quite some time. I was restrained by fear not wanting to do it alone, in midst some very strong stereotypical idioms about Russia and Russian people. But, at the start of February, I took the chance, flew over…
Why start blogging?
Over the last ten years, I have been fortunate enough to travel, as far as New Zealand not only once but three times, explore bits of Asia and spend time living in NZ, the UK and Norway. I have travelled through my home country, Germany, and have seen fair bits of Europe. I travel a…
