So what would you like to see in Europe? Prefer a city trip to London, an Interrail tour through the whole continent, a summer in Sweden or in the Algarve in Portugal? I will show you the best routes, the most exciting cities and the best travel tips for each country.
Magic forests, snow as far as the eye can see and 24 hours of darkness. This is Lapland in winter. And that's what makes the northern region of Sweden, Finland and Norway so attractive. During my semester abroad in Umea, Sweden, I was allowed to spend a week above the Arctic Circle and I'll tell you what you shouldn't miss!
One week by car through Andalusia, from Seville to Málaga. Two cities that couldn't be more Spanish and in between miles of sandy beaches, Granada with its Alhambra and Cádiz, the oldest city in Europe. I was surprised how multifaceted the south of Spain really is. Andalusia's sights and my very personal travel tips you can find here.
Whoever hears Santorini, mostly thinks - without knowing its name - of the white artists' village Oía, in the very north of the small island. Everyone knows the pictures of how countless white houses nestle picturesquely into the cliffs. Is Oía really the most beautiful city of Greece? Without having seen them all, I would say probably one of the most beautiful. One thing is for sure: it's really just as dreamlike here as in all the pictures. Here you can find all my tips for your dream holiday on the Greek Cyclades island.
Did you ever take a road trip along the Côte d'Azur? After two weeks at the south coast of France I had to realize that there is much more to discover here than expensive restaurants and boutiques for too many tourists. Even with a small budget you can get your money's worth on the blue coast. I will show you how!
I have never been the biggest fan of German beaches, to be honest. They are crowded, there are fences everywhere, beach chairs, houses to close to the beach and so on. So you see, I had quite a strong opinion. Until I got the chance to try out four different islands of the Baltic Sea during the summer. And I actually found some places that I really liked.
Today is life, tomorrow never comes. That was the motto of the flower children who gathered to form communities in the small fishing village of Matala on the south coast of Crete, and these words, written by Giorgios Germanakis, ex-fishermen and hippie pioneer, can still be admired as graffiti on a wall on the beach. Why is it worth a detour to Matala if you are in Crete? Here are some reasons.
